Lean-o-meter

The only place I've seen anything like that is on moto gp, but if you have it on your bike i don't see how you could keep an eye on it as you should be looking through the turn when you are leaned over. twotyres said it, that's what your knees are supposed to do.

Was thinking of something that would store the max angle. I used to have a Caddy CTS-V that would store the max g's in the left and right direction. I think the max the car could handle was .91, so anything above that is throwing caution to the wind. I remember hearing on another forum that th theoretical max lean angle is something like 60 degrees. If that's true (and I'm not saying it is), I'm just curious how far away from that I am.

I've been to plenty of events and have all of the pics of you thumbnails stored on my hard drive, but the angles are tough (other than turn 4 at VIR north) to see what your lean angle really is. The pic in my avatar is me at Barber. Does it look like there's a lot of lean angle left (real question, not being a douche)?

What do they use for motogp television? I could think of several ways to do it one with mercury....

Hey Spyda,
Keith Codes book Twist of the Wrist II may help you some with your question. Although Code doesn't say how far a bike can be leaned, as in degrees, what he says along with Doug Chandlers notes on the subject are interesting.
Others have said it, it involves using your knees as the gauge for lean angle, or the racer in the picture on page one, using your foot to hold the bike up.
My 2 cents from a slow B group guy.
