Step one: Don't follow my lines - they don't know where they're going.

I agree with Alex... definitely sounds like you're early apexing. Don't focus so much on leaning the bike. Just throttle smoothly through the turn. Let your speed dictate how much you lean, not the other way around.

I like to practice on the 90 degree turn out in Hardin Valley. It's a nice, predictable turn with lots of room and visibility. There's a subdivision right down the road where you can turn around to hit it again the other way.
