on my way home from work I follow a sweeping left hand bend (speed limit 70) 3/4 of the way through the bend is a double set
of train tracks, which i normally slow down to cross.
my question is - Should I continue in the lean at 70 or am i right to back off as I come to said train tracks?
I am a bit concerned that I may end up on my side. i always look like this when i come to them

This is not "track only" technique. Nor "good traction situation" only technique.
The point of the superbike school theory is that AT THE SAME SPEED a bike will have the best possible traction and chance of staying upright with distribution of the bikes mass spread according to the contact patch size forward vs back, and that is with a moderate wind on of the throttle. (as opposed to braking or coasting or gassing it).
But, if winding on the throttle well BEFORE the tracks means you're hitting them 30km/hr faster that's not going to help with traction. Still, it's better than getting to the track and getting on the brakes

Straight line and having the tyre on the bit where water dispersion grooves exist would be the best in my books.
No good having constant throttle whilst in lean then you rear tyre hits the slippery metal and decides not to follow the path of the frot tyre. What does CSS teach you then?
