Ditto to everything Dave said (except the parts about being big and powerful ) Also, make sure your front wheel is true both laterally & radially and that the hubs aren't loose.

With all due respect to your abilities, don't have a "death grip" on the bars when cornering. That "tightness" can and does transfers to that 1" patch of rubber on the road.

This may be reaching a bit, but here are some other things to consider: Does the bike fit you properly? Do you have lots of body weight over the front end (long stem, long torso)? Are you on tri-bars?
