But back on topic, you brought up a good point - OP, how was your lane positioning?
It does seem as if you are going a lot faster then what you think on a bike. Lane positioning was like any other turn. outside inside outside was the goal. I remember when i hit apex (dividing lines on 2 lane road) i saw trees and dirt infront of me so uh.. target fixation kicked in :/. now every turn i gotta remind myself look through. slow in fast out. and lastly. DONT LOOK AT THE TREES! haha

exactly! and im happy this learning experience wasn't too bad on the bike and no one got hurt. just recently ordered a K&N airfilter for it cuz i felt bad. rear stand too so i can lube the chain and clean it cuz it seems a bit dirty.
