a class is good but...
Practice doing it (best without an audience) lock it up, make the bike skid in a straight line for starters. Practice the rear breaking loose in a corner. Practice riding in the rain. Think about black ice and what you are going to do. Think about counter steer and how you can reduce your turn radius to get out of a corner you came into too fast. Get used to the feel of the foot pegs grinding against the road so that it doesn't distract you in an emergency maneuver.
if you have a bike that you don't care about dropping really helps and wear all your gear so that when you do slide you just have a story not a patch of missing skin.
