mikemm03,
On the surface streets, I tend to tach high for better torque and control, i.e., cruise 40-45 mph in 3d gear. Since I have no tach, I assume it's around 3800-4200 rpm. Then, I just throttle down around sharp bends, and brake as a last resort. Of course, when I run through a wet patch, I tend to ride more upright, which isn't always good practice while negotiating a sharp curve.
