Do NOT overtighten your headset unless you want to wear it out quicker! The only reason a bicycle can balance is because the front wheel automatically tends to turn in the direction a bike is leaning into. This has been shown with riderless bikes experiments. It is supposedly almost impossible for most people to balance and ride a bicycle when the steering is fixed/locked.

^ This is a good idea/suggestion, IMHO... Otherwise it's probably like how to get to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice.
