Foot positioning :'(
Nice too hear I am not the only one with bad habits...Some of them I quite like if the truth be known. ;)
I guess it's a bad habit....
....swearing at traffic and forgetting that I'm wearing an open face helmet....
Have to remember to :-X
Having to be in front of everything else on the road and not just enjoying the ride.
Not always indicating before an overtake

Haha, Nice. :D
Mine has to be 'Road Frustration', not quite Rage, but I get so narked off with other road users being complete dongles. Unfortunately/fortunately on a bike you have the ability to leave them behind. (sometimes, depending on the offence, offering some hand gesture or another on your way past [smiley=happy.gif])
Other than that, I'm like Mary Poppins - Practically Perfect in Every Way. :) I wish!
I did my test in Gibraltar where it was perfectly acceptable to 'Boot' the car that cut you up, ride on paths, park where you want, ride in flip flops and t-shirts, where a silly 'piss pot' helmet, and many more.
I'm struggling in the UK but have managed to improve on all of those although the worst thing I used to do was riding whilst having a smoke and on the phone, it's a skill that I think they teach you on lessons over there, not that I'd know because I didn't take any!! [smiley=happy.gif]
I'm still a nervous rider in the UK because people are so unpredictable, at least in Gib and Spain I knew that they were sh*te so I worked around that :)
Laying down a slight bit too much power in the wet and forgetting I dont have a slipper clutch. Both seem to have stopped recently, I guess my ridings improving!
Sadly, another bad habit is to overtake anytime I get a safe chance - even if the car infront is at the speed limit. Along with lack of confidence in bends in the wet (despite buying Pilot Power 2CTs')
