This is a really great way to learn what crashing is like first-hand.
Pushing it to the limit -- whether it's yours or the bike's -- leaves no margin for error or the unexpected.
Also... pushing INTO the corners at the limit of traction? That means you're on the ragged edge BEFORE you add traction-related elements like changing lean angles, trail braking, throttle application, etc.
Slow in, fast out.
Ride well within the limits -- of you, of the bike, and of the road and traffic conditions.
This is how you keep from losing it and getting hurt.
This is what has kept me rubber-side-down for 30 years with zero crashes in that time.
