Like what Alex and Eric said, don't keep the bike in too high a gear. When I do twisties, I rarely leave 3rd gear. I find that the higher the gear you're in, the more chance you have of reaching a speed you'd rather avoid. The places I ride in, you can't realistically exceede speeds of 40mph, so it doesn't hamper me too much. On one occasion a downhill left handler scared the s**t out of me, when I felt I was going too fast, one quick glance at the speedo told me I was doing 40mph in the turn. It took all that I had in me to not get off the throttle and f**k things up... Lol
