Good points, But I guess I roll it all under the SMOOTH monicker,
+1 You CANNOT be fast if you are not smooth. I agree that certain techniques such as trail braking are best learned in a controlled environment from a qualified instructor. I have been fortunate enough to have as friends and frequently ride with (1) An instructor at the Streetmasters school in Rosamond Ca (2) An former instructor with Spencer and (3) An instructor at the Yamaha Champion's School. Pick a friend or two that are great riders and spend some time riding with them.
BTW one of Streetmasters main focuses is the late apex concept which is a fundamental concept in the process of learning to pick your line through a corner.
