i can also recommend a day of motocross to get some experience with handling sliding around, though the "if in doubt, gas it out" doesn't always apply on the road
Absolutely!!! Riding in the dirt is a great way to experience sliding in a non-threatening environment.
To the OP related to leaning with and counterweighting - watch an AMA superbike race and compare Larry Pegram to almost any other racer. Larry is fast and he used to also do well racing flat track, but his unorthodox style of sitting on top of the bike really drives home the difference and can be seen in the results. His equipment (the Yamaha) was pretty much the same as the two leaders this season, but his results not so much.
