Working on slow speed control

I put my foot down, suddenly, hopefully for the last time in a parking lot. This heavy scoot with its CVT is taking some time to get used to, and so this afternoon I set out to practice slow speed maneuvers, scooter style, revving the engine to keep the clutch engaged while dragging the rear brake. It feels awkward but dangit I am determined to get this mastered. More practice practice practice.

Super Job of riding!! (your camera man has a nice steady hand)
I asked my instructor why it is easy for me to make slow Left turns, but I'm not a big fan of right turns!?
He said that instructors have debated this fact quite a bit!
He thinks it has something to do with the throttle hand feeling awkward when in close to your body.

Lol, smartphone was sitting on the curb, no camera man.
I actually worked up a sweat on that one, I have a long way to go, but thanks.
Re: right turns, on a mc the brake pedal always threw me off, right turns on the scooter are easier.
