And consciously think about keeping your hands loose on the bars after turn-in. That's still the thing that takes the largest amount of my "10 dollars of attention"
I'd say the pressure on the bars is my biggest problem. There were a couple times I noticed I actually pulled myself back up onto the bike using my arms... then after the bike quit shaking and settled down, I said self, that was fucking stupid... quit it.

Yep, the closest I have ever come to a real bad get-off at the track was when I was really tired and was pulling myself back onto the bike with my arms, bad news.

I have done the same thing... up the hill between T7 and T8 at NH, at full throttle... got some nasty headshake... luckily I stayed on the gas and it worked itself out.

That's one of those times where you pit in and chill the fuck out for a couple minutes.
