Remember that if the bike will get round the coner wih the brakes on then it will certainly get round without them! Just lean it a bit more. Braking with the bike leaning means the tyre has to do two jobs, braking and cornering. Take away the braking and there is more grip left for cornering. (unless you are on slicks or super sticky road tyres i guess).
The Police will tell you that most accidents on bends happen around 20mph less than what they would concider to be an "interesting" speed for that bend!!
