[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 77558, member: 20652"] I brake slide a lot in tight turns. I can come in hot and square off the turn quicker. Even on sweepers where I want to pass someone (doesn’t happen often ) and I need to change directions in a hurry. Left turns are easier than right for the reasons that you already discovered. I like to keep both feet on the pegs so I can hit the brake. It takes some practice (doing it the right way;)) but when you lock up the rear wheel, lean the bike to keep from highsiding (as Button mentioned). Also keep your head up over the handle bars to help weight the front end. This is more critical with right hand turns since your foot is on the brakes and you can’t swing it forward. Once the bike is pointed in the direction that you want to go, release the brake & clutch and gas it. Gear selection is important too. If I come into the turn in 3rd I may not down shift and just feather the clutch when coming out. It all depends on your speed and how tight the corner is. Practice, practice, practice… Good luck [/QUOTE]
