And trying to do racing lines on the road is not always the quickest/safest route. Have a think about doing a Bikesafe course - I did one about three years ago, and learnt loads about braking, gears, road positioning, cornering etc - it made my riding a bit quicker, but a hell of a lot smoother. It taught me to prepare better/earlier for corners, and has reduced the number of BTMs I have had.
Braking with the front in a corner on most bikes tends to make them sit up and run wide - not what you want on a tightening bend. Higher spec bikes with better chassis/suspension/brakes are not so prone to this (note to self - do NOT try to outbrake Fizzwheel or Peter Henry
)
BTM = brown trouser moment
