Run engine faster than idle. Slip clutch to control speed. Slightly drag rear brake. Look where you want to go. Don’t touch front brake. Practice. I rode for years before someone showed me how to go slow.

I've done this for years. When I got my first BMW it had linked brakes, and it nearly dumped me over in the parking lot because the front brake grabbed when I mashed the rear pedal.

I understand they de-link them now at low speed just for this reason.
