I told a friend that learning my new Q45 must be like flying a helicopter, in other words dam hard......HOWEVER there is light at the end of the tunnel. Today, I completed my first figure eight without risking immediate death. Been at it for 5 days. After much fit and adjustments and several 20 minute rides a day, things are moving along. I can now ride the bike down the street and I found out that from a standing stop, I can start if I use my right foot versus my left foot. All in all, I have enjoyed the learning process and only 5 days ago, I could not ride 5 feet !

Nice! You're basically creating new brain wiring, which I think is best done through a series of short repetitions, just like what you describe. Each repetition brings you closer to the ride where you realize, "hey, I've been riding for an hour, and I haven't had to even think about what I'm doing." Then you've arrived.
Well done; keep it up.

Yay, good work. It’s been over seven years since I converted, so happy. Be sure to review this thread.

Cranky, the points above my post are great. One thing I might add is, people that have a slower time learning, in my opinion, are over thinking or analyzing the concept. It's actually a natural subconscious process or at least it becomes it. When you are in the parking lot try and not think what...

Don't overthink it, relax, and don't let the bike ride you.
Good work!
