looks to be a 2nd gear road, then again 2nd is good money for 30 to 70mph

If it was a track, you would probably change your gearing to make 1st or 2nd gear work well in those corners, depending on the speed of the rest of the track.

What about coming out in 2nd but slipping the clutch some to keep the R's up and not bog down?

Clearly you didn't read where NW said those are 15mph curves.

On corners that are posted 15mph I do at least 30...

Please..... You better than that. Posted corner speeds are very conservative.

He didn't say they were posted 15...he said they are 15. Big difference...and he probly knows since he rides them often.

Cant argue with that.

Yeah there needs to be more accuracy with the old speed recommendation signs for corners... some will say 30 and you can take them at 60 easily, some say 30 and you will eat shit at 35...
