What one area of riding is your achilles heel?

The most difficult for me is passing a car on a twisty two-lane. Takes me a lot of thinking, planning, and calculating. When I pass on a straight between corners, I'm way too fast and in the wrong lane as I'm coming up to next corner. I have to lean one way to get back in the lane, straighten up and brake, then quickly lean the other way to make the corner. Going downhill is even worse. I'm all relieved when I do it correctly, but a minute later, I catch up to another car and have to plan it again.
