It's been a while, but someone here recommended Twist of the Wrist as a good book for learning a lot of things about riding.
It's now Twist of the Wrist II, and you can get it at Amazon, and it's not a lot of money.
The most helpful thing to me was:
Don't fixate on the 50 or 100 yards in front of you. Look where you want to go. The bike almost goes there by itself. It is something I have to constantly work at, because it is natural to be afraid of the road and objects in front of you. You need to keep your eyes on the exit point of a curve. Peripheral vision will give you all the other info you need.
Another point was in setting a bike up for a curve. If you enter at the correct point of a curve, and know where you will exit it, you don't have go in so hot that your knee is scraping, and you exit just as fast, or faster.
Anyway, thanks to whoever it was.
