Now you can ride without worrying about the small scratch you might get from a tip over. Like anything else when everything is perfect you are more concerned about the bike rather than the riding, put a couple of scrathes on her and you can relax and get down to business.
Use first gear and use the clutch to modulate speed as others have said. I imagine training you to do it in second was about being smooth to keep the bike from stalling, but in real life use the gear better suited to the speed. You were probably on a smaller bike with lower gearing, which helps too as far as using 2nd goes.
