Poor Obs, if your looking ahead you don`t just look at the road, the trees and hedges also follow the roads, so its always good to look at the whole picture ahead.

Its the expectation of the road maintaining same curve and keeping the speed of that expectation.
Of course you need to steer in more or we all would be wearing a hedge!
Just an observation of riding, especially on unfamiliar roads.

not sure what you are saying there.
are you suggesting its normal to go wide?
constant radius curves are not the norm,do you expect them to be?
are you suggesting that you steer once and hope you got it right?
are you suggesting that if you are on an unfamiliar road and a curve tightens or opens up that you dont adjust steering accordingly?

lol, clutch? no, brake? no, lets just do nothing and see what happens.

He says in comments "I was using front and back brakes but the abs didn't let the bike stop because the throttle was stuck on" and others say he had a cruise control band on.

I vote full retard.

If it's a serious post I'd suggest trying the vanishing point technique. If it's getting closer the corner is getting tighter....if it stays the same distance it's not changing and if it's moving away from you it's opening out so you can speed up. Really helps on unfamiliar roads
