Wow! It sounds like I need to modify how I go into a turn! I do the out-in-out as I maneuver my self through a turn, but I was definitely doing the opposite of what you are describing with regard to leaning. I was low over the bar & was just building up some speed for a little extra momentum to try to get more power when I hit the following straight away. I leaned INTO the turn WITH my bike. ALL of my weight was on my left & I was over my handlebars.

Dude thanks for the insight. It’s much appreciated. Yeah, before I slammed my handlebars this is how I always took that turn, which is almost a loop at more than a 90 degree angle, but I never had any problems. And after the last time that I rode before hitting my back, I had washed my bike including the tires, so this is why I was baffled. Thanks again!
