Especially after rain
Instant knob, just add water

not being prepared enough for a corner - check. Luckily I have such huge respect for my ride, typically I am way too slow into corners. Cant wait to have more local knowledge of the roads in the adelaide hills to attack them more aggressively. I am hoping to enter the hills on pickett range road at morphett vale and go from there. Plenty of good riding available I know. I drove past the cudlee creek cafe today on a day trip in the car with the wife and bub. Plenty of bikers there in the alfresco area! Cruiser crowd.

quickest way to sort out your cornering is to do an advanced riding course. stayupright in SA?

Absolutely, I was too fast into a corner (for my limit) - misjudged required distance to slow down on a down hill gradient for a left hander (not all that long after lunch) - did all the above, panicked, still braking in to corner, stiffened up, ran wide, target fixated, couldn't get it leant over and yeh hit a 4wd goin the other way (stretched out sommersault), extremely lucky he swerved and didn't hit head on, lucky wearing correct gear and landed how I did and came out just a bit saw. Bike is written off!

They are usually about from late morning/arvo...
There are some great friendly regulars (not all green) to the cafe early morning, Lobe is another morning spot..
