Take it slowly and build your pace up.
Don't let yourself be bullied into going faster than you feel safe. Speed will come back, just give it time.
Now is not the best time of the year to go into a corner too fast. Far too much wet and slippery stuff on the roads, often right on your line, if you take a diffrent one to all the other traffic.

Once you get back on the bike you will feel right at home. I had 20+ years away and after the 1st ride home, it was like i had never been off.

go onto youtube and search the user 'advancedbiker'. they have a large amount of advanced riding videos, how to enjoy your bike and the twisties while keeping the bike under control, and staying defensive incase something unexpected happens. Hope that helps.
