When you take a high speed curve correctly, it feels like you are on rails. From the upright braking position the bike gets thrown or countersteered fairly precisely onto your line through the curve, you're leaned over maintaining steady pressure on the inside bar and outside crank, and checking your approach and exit to and from the apex. It might look graceful from the outside, but is really an aggressive maneuver with a like mindset. You basically attack the curve. Centrifugal force is like an addictive drug.
