I'm sure you've also learned since then that you don't ever engage the clutch during a turn. I am ALWAYS in gear on turns, I do all of my downshifting/braking prior to entering a turn and then re-engage the clutch before starting the lean. It also gives the tires a bit more grip when you are accelerating ( even the slightest acceleration ) through a turn versus slowing down by holding the clutch in or even letting the bike slow down in gear.

No offense intended!!
