Glad you had fun. If you are serious that you are "throwing your bike" through turns, you need to learn how to ride the twisties or you won't cheat death long. Go to the Smokies and watch the sport bikers (don't bother getting of on them)fly through the turns. They don't throw them through the twisties.
I own three sport bikes, one HD and live in the Mtns. Learn to properlyset up for a turn, apex it, and throttle out of it hard. Learnthe right way tolean your bike overand corner right and you won't have to cheat death, then you'll find you have the wrong bike for riding the twisties seriously.Cheating death is a short term proposition on amotorcycle.
