That seems to be me at take off. There's always a slight bit of a wobble or a balance check as I start off from a dead stop - may be a couple of inches drift total. To deal with this, I usually keep both feet down, spread enough to be outside of the range of the foot pegs assuming that the sole of my boot may hit something that would stop my feet as they slide and make contact with a peg. As I posted in another thread, I had 37 years away from riding and I never had bikes as tall with the weight that this one has, so this could simply a matter of time till I build up confidence in my riding skills. Once I'm moving, I'm good.
Any tips? I'm thinking of going to a vacant parking lot and doing sessions of starts and stops and starting with an immediate right or left turn, as well.
This is probably more of a pride thing than a safety issue so I'll sacrifice pride.
