The advantages of keeping you RPM's up in the twisty's is engine braking on the CB. I would normally be in the 4000-7000 rpm range, but you need a controlled speed at which you are comfortable, if third is too fast drop to second. With engine braking you'll have less chance of going into a turn hot and getting into trouble and your throttle response is much better in this range. Stay off your brakes as much as possible ( but get in the habit of covering the front with two fingers) and let the motor do the work for you.
