Rather, I'd like to know where people stop for a chat/gather to hang out /

Motorcycle hangouts as far as I can recall:

-Tims at Dundas and 403 in Mississauga/Oakville (whenever it is nice out)
-Lakeshore and Leslie. (I don't recall what days)
-Any MotoSocial event
-Higher Ground Coffee in Belfountain/Forks of the Credit (it's usually swamped on weekends)

There's probably more, I can't think of them though. :/ I haven't been to any of those except Higher Ground and usually on weekdays when it's just retired folks. lol

Welcome. +1 about avoiding group rides for now. If you can get a more experienced rider to go for rides with you, have them follow and then give you pointers.
Good idea!

Welcome! :) I ride in the south Etobicoke area. Wouldn't mind meeting up for a short ride along the lakeshore on a weekend. Gave your Instagram a follow.

Lakeshore and Leslie - is it the one that people refer by L&L to? If yes, where exactly there, I assume tims?

Kinda between Timmies and FreshCo.

I got my first(and only so far) 250 while owning 2 750s. One I went cross continent with multiple times and the other a Gixxer. Nothing wrong with a 250. They are fun in their own ways.

My can't complain so far, the only thing is that the wind blows me around - we are hardly 550 lbs all together (full tank)

You'll get used to it. Don't try too hard fight it. A bike is small and has lots of room to move around safely in your lane. If you struggle to stay in exactly the same spot you will be miserable as you will be constantly correcting.

I'm not fighting it at all, not a big deal if I move a bit to the left/right. It's just the feeling that the bike is about to tip over that makes me feel uncomfortable
 
You'll get used to leaning into the cross wind. Riding in Kansas once and going in a straight line I was leaned over. Didn't realize how much till a transport passed me and the trailer was at an angle. lol
