Twisties training?

I think I'll just take it slow, and aim for perfection rather than speed.  Once the skills are second nature, then the speed will soon follow.
That is the perfect attitude to have.

Once you have the feel for the bike and what it can do the speed will come along quickly.
 
Take this with grain of salt. Cause I'm new to riding a motorcycle. Perhaps get an insight what newbie fun consists of doing twisites.
Have gotten and follow other's advise on not riding over your head. That leaves taking twisites at a comfortable pace. It might seem overkill following perfect lines through a corner at slow speeds. But it is very fun doing so.
Found conditioned response by practicing this all the time. When going faster and faster through corners. Still retain the perfect lines which mainly consists late apex cornering.
Know it's only one aspect of cornering. But it's one of concious decision made.
Got the word burned into brain at a Kieth Code seminar other day. Only he can say it. But put that in also during everyday riding. The above practice isn't counter to anything Kieth had said. But there's other ways to, in fact he related story wouldn't do it that way just and go out hit everything agressively see what happens. Easy for him to say

perhaps he's refering to more experienced riders, not pussy footing around

from a humorous email I got the other day:

Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second, and
more sheer data processing than nearly any other common activity or sport.
The reactions and accurate decision making abilities needed have been
likened to the reactions of fighter pilots! The consequences of bad
decisions or poor situational awareness are pretty much the same for both
groups too.

Occasionally, as a rider I have caught myself starting to make bad or late
decisions while riding. In flight training, my instructors called this being
"behind the power curve". It is a mark of experience that when this begins
to happen, the rider recognizes the situation, and more importantly, does
something about it. A short break, a meal, or even a gas stop can set things
right again as it gives the brain a chance to catch up.

Good, accurate, and timely decisions are essential when riding a
motorcycle...at least if you want to remain among the living. In short, the
brain needs to keep up with the machine.
