This topic was presented a while back in Rider magazine, written by Eric Trow (safety guru).
I don't have the issue but I will summarize the key points.
This has made my riding in tight twisties much smoother and safer.
First thing is to become aware of the visual horizon and what it's doing. This is the point where the road disappears either over a rise or around a bend. This "vanishing point" can (at any particular time) be either getting closer to you, remaining a constant distance or moving farther away from you.
The point of the article is to tie throttle control to this visual horizon (v/h).
* If the v/r is getting closer-the throttle is respectively closing.
*If the v/r is remaining the same-the throttle is steady.
*As the v/r recedes-the throttle roll-on is synchronized.
Of course there are many other factors for good riding (body position, line, etc.) but this takes a lot of arbitraryness out of smooth twisty riding.
