I have been practicing in my neighborhood the last few days. One location has a right hand turn pointed up a small hill. If you are starting from a stop pointing uphill you supposed to hold the bike in location with the rear brake (meaning right foot) while you manage the throttle and friction zone on the clutch to get started. If you are making a hard turn from a stop you are suppose to start with the foot on the side you are about to turn towards down. So I guess my point is I was taking this turn way too wide because you need the right foot to keep you from rolling back and going into the turn with my left foot down which means your body is starting aimed somewhat left. Am I overthinking this and should I just anticipate taking a turn like this wider than usual and just make sure there is space?
This may be a total newb question but it was weird enough that I wanted to ask more experienced riders.
Thanks for your help!
