Exactly Nick. The deliberate 'push left, to go left' that literally flicks the bike over into the turn. And lest we forget, that when leant over the circumference of your tyres actually becomes smaller. This can cause the bike to actually brake (using the engine) and this in turn causes more reluctance to turn in as weight is thrown forwards. So remember to give it a little throttle through the turn to further increase the bikes eagerness to get around that bend!!
Dammit, I'm desperate to get back out on the bike!!
