Its a short corner ... looks worse than it is (especially if overgrown). If you're about to lock up you're braking too late or going to fast. My suggestion is knock it down a gear, brake earlier and let the engine do the work to get around the corner.
In my experience, going in with too low a gear (less engine braking) sometimes makes me feel like I'm going too fast and need to brake harder. Maybe feeling the traction will help with this sensation and help you set up for the corner. |

Dont try this before your nuptials!
After the previous corner, which presumably you have no problem with, don't change gear or brake. This leaves you with only throttle to think about & even that looks as if it could stay the same. You know my pathetic bikeability, so dont take me too seriously - sometimes lateral thinking works.
