    Get on down to your local bookshop and purchase a copy of "The Bikers Bible" by Graham Allardice. Every rider should have one as it covers almost every situation that you will no doubt encounter at some time during your motorcycle riding days.
    I would consider this to be the next best thing to a One on One with a Professional Riding Instructor and it may well save you some very embaressing and painful moments.
    Cheers

    One of the Welly crew once told me that (part of) the trick is to forget about the fact that you are going downhill - imagine the road is flat and ride it just as you would a flat road.
    Personally I haven't found that works, though! I still feel uncomfortable going downhill. I just try to ride downhill as smoothly as possible (read "nana") - gentle braking from a long way before the corner, slowing down a lot, constant speed in, then very gently accelerate out.
