Mine is relaxing my outside hand before turn-in. Looking for simple cues people use on normal rides—not a complete cornering curriculum.

Street miles, track lessons.

    I say 'eyes up' at every slow intersection. It fixed more wobble than thinking about the bars ever did.

    Smooth is fast enough.

    Finishing braking a little earlier on unfamiliar roads. The extra mental space makes every other input less rushed.

    One light squeeze on the tank with my knees before braking reminds me not to brace through my wrists.

    Ride your own pace.
