    Maximum lean angle?

    What would be the maximum lean angle you could get on a cold tyre? (or "tyres" plural considering most bikes have two)

    Seriously ?? What kind of tyres and on what kind of bike ??? What kind of road surface and in what kind of weather? At what time of day and what air and road temperature?

    I suspect the maximum lean angle is the one you get just before it falls over ...

    Or a better question, how long is the sidestand? I can lop off the end if he wants more lean angle...

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Try that slalom bullshit on cold tyres and when you end dumping it on the ground, that should give you some idea of when you have gone to far. So then you'll know for next time.
