I agree, part of it was overdriving my sight lines. It's been at least a couple years since I had been on that section of road, and the last time I was there I was actually on a bicycle. Usually when I'm approaching a blind corner I think "what if there is a slow moving vehicle like a bicycle, or a stopped vehicle, or a cow, etc. right around the corner" since I've been that slow moving vehicle before. I guess I got a bit enthusiastic when I saw that beautiful left hander and forgot there could be an unsigned corner immediately after it. I was still leaning left thinking "I'm going to have to lean right before I'm going to have time to slow down as much as I'd like to...this is going to be interesting." Most of the tight turns on this road are signed so I got a bit complacent about looking ahead for bends in the road.
