Dead (can I call you dead?),

I taught motorcycle safety for about a decade, and I think you need some work on your cornering technique. The biggest things you can do to make it through a turn well are:

1) Do any speed adjustment early
2) Pick a good line (ie wide at the start, don't turn in until you need to)
3) Turn your head and look through the turn, where you want to go.

#3 is the easiest one to work on.
