I learned not to go into a corner too fast and then proceed to target fixate on the huge truck coming right at you.

I think he is refering to "push" as in the lean of the bike and get on the gas. Often the tyres have a lot more left in them than we think.What did he mean by PUSH????
Not trying to jack your thread, I had a mad moment yesterday. The roads were cold but dry, my tyres were warm ect. I was 200 meters from home on a roundabout that I am very comfortable with. When I entered the roundabout I got into position and as I was coming off my exit I saw what looked like a patch of fluid right on my line. I couldn't take my eyes of it so I know exactly what you mean. Fortunatley I did not back off the throttle and kept the lean. Guess what? nothing happened I went round just fine. It was a proper bum pukering moment though. Glad your ok.I learned not to go into a corner too fast and then proceed to target fixate on the huge truck coming right at you.
On the road I always try to practise leaning the bike at 35-40mph so that I get used to it and know my fear limit.
you might consider going for this cornering school
Superbike School :: Discover the art of cornering
I will do once I get my finances in order and I somehow manage to explain it past the missus
Yep, that looks like exactly what I need. I'll have to pay off the bike first.
