Satxron, feel free to chime right in here. But, things I still use are: ALWAYS 'cover' the clutch except maybe on open highway; Remember, 'where the eyes go, the head goes, where the head goes, the body goes, where the body goes, the bike goes'; translated, this means if you're too 'hot' into, say a left curve, and there's that tree, pole, whatever, on the outside of the curve, DO NOT look at at. Put your chin on your left shoulder and keep looking thru the curve, the bike will lean over farther than you think, and by all means, keep some power to the rear wheel. Gyroscopic principle will keep the rubber side down. Same holds true for slow speed maneuvering. How do those motor-cops do those tight U-turns practically staying in one lane? Its all about head and eye placement, using peripheral vision, and riding the grey area of the clutch keeping power to the rear wheel. Also, find some deserted surface where you can get the bike up to about 60 mph and practice max front braking. You'd be surprised just how fast you can bring even an 850 lb. bike to a stop. WARNING. If you simultaneously lock up the rear brake, DON'T let off until bike comes to a full stop. Learned that the hard way despite what my instuctors told me. Fortunatley, in those younger days I bounced better than I listened. If you're gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough.
