I've found the following experiment helpful, best practiced on a twisty, little-used road. The point of the exercise is anticipation and control.
1. Use brakes only to bring the bike to a halt or correct mistakes.
2. Gain speed, no matter how little, in turns.
3. Stay in the outside tire track of your lane on turns in the absence of other threats (cars, deer, pedestrians, debris on the the pavement).
4. Turn the bike by pressing on the inside bar, shifting your body on the bike to obtain minimum force on the bar once in the turn. At low speeds (25-30 mph) the bike will lean in, you'll lean out.
When you get step 4 right a surprising thing will happen: the bike will seem weightless and there will be zero steering pressure on the handlebars.
Rule 1 requires anticipation; ride for the road you're approaching, not the road you're on.
Rule 2 enforces correct throttle handling ("When in doubt, gas it out"). Easily said, much less easily done.
Rule 3 tests confidence, if you don't want to ride outside you're too fast.
Rule 4 encourages explicit countersteering, measuring correct lean and balance.
Speed is irrelevant: Ride as slow as necessary to ride by the rules, then pick up the pace as you master the rules on a familiar road. Individually they're not hard, taken together they can turn an "easy" road into a problem worthy of careful study.
Rule 3 is very intimidating; the fear of running off the road is intense. However, being in the outside tire track puts you on the cleanest pavement with the longest sightlines. Once you have line control the fear of running off the road will go away. Gaining line control is the whole point of the exercise.
Very likely you'll be riding well below your sightline-limited speed initially and will find it hard to keep up with auto traffic, never mind the squids. Don't worry about it: People in cars can afford to worry much less about what they hit. The squids don't know enough to care.
Most folks seem to consider speed as the figure of merit in riding; these rules emphasize line control. It's easy to go from a slow line to a faster one if a turn is misjudged; if you're already on the fast line and manage to slow down you weren't really too fast......
