get your head up and look ahead, not 10ft in front. look as far up the road as you can see, not where you are going.

dont shut your throttle on bend entry and then add more on the apex, you need to keep a steady throttle from entry to bend exit point. once you can see the bend exit then you apply more increasing throttle till you are upright.

dont 'choke the chicken' on the bars. by this i mean keeping a tight grip as chucca said you only need to use your palms and your fingers are for the brake and clutch levers.
Great post

Just to add.Never cross the centre line and watch out for idiots coming wide on the bends from the other direction.
