Problem is you usually don't have slowing down as an option, after you entered the curve too hot for road conditions. Better to have the knowledge to help you evaluate the proper speed and line, before entering.

The few times I entered a turn too fast, and found gravel or a tighter radius than I thought, I was definitely outriding my *******, and I didn't like that feeling.

 

All good advice for sure. In a tight curve, I will slide my butt to the inside of the curve. I feel that this helps me with leverage on the bars, especially if I can keep my outside arm straight on the outside bar.

 

It will also keep that inside rear tire planted on the ground, and keep pushing you thru the curve.

 

Changed, been too long since I rode my '42 flathead trike.

 

One thing I have noticed that may be worth mentioning.

When two-up and fully loaded, sometimes healthy acceleration can start to lift and unload the front end a bit. It starts to scrub first on clean dry road, fortunately, warning you before it will break away, but with any wetness or gravel you can end up going a little straighter than you'd planned (although it does hook back up if you get off of the slippery stuff.) Back off the throttle just a bit and it's fine. Spooky.

But note that it's only when you're having a little fun and getting rambunctious, not something you'd have happen when just tooling around.

Like any vehicle that is "tight," you might want to brake late and use the weight shifting forward to help get you rotated, and then come on late with the power. It'll probably help the front tire last a little longer, too.

 

I just try to not run through turns faster than my guardian angel can turn.
Don't want to strain her wings.
