I also find that when I ride a turn a little too fast I allow the bike to turn, pick my butt off the seat and attempt to stay as upright as possible. To me it feels more natural and won't disorient me. How wrong am I???
I'ts not so much about the speed here for me, Im not burning through these turns and taking them too fast, Just taking them to much like you should on the track. I like the way i take the turns the problem is more what csmith said earlier, its about giving you that little extra buffer incase the vehicle on the other side of the road is going wide through the turn which some drivers tend to drift wide.
