Well since everything isn't a valid answer for this question,

 

1: The importance and value of being "Locked On" the motorcycle

 

2: The massive impact good body position can have on your lean angle for a given corner/speed

 

3: Just how aggressively you can really steer a motorcycle in good conditions

 

 

also my stock grips after 75k miles B)

Quick/Pivot steering slows the bike down. A lot.

 

This fact finally *really* dawned on my at my last (5th) CSS course a few weeks ago and allowed me to get through the day in 4th gear with no brakes (bar a couple of stuff-ups) even at the two hairpins at Eastern Creek. By reminding myself that steering quickly would wipe lots of speed off most of my entry speed panic simply vanished. Now I have this with me on every corner everywhere I ride.
