Maximum lean angle?

[bogan]

Oh I agree, It'd be nice if we could measure the radius of a corner before we got to it, then we could draw some conclusions from a lean-O-meter, yaw rate vs roll rate etc.

But we can't oh well.

I can think of a track application where you ride around a race track and it logs angles etc, then you come in, analyse the data and the computer says "right you pussy, based on all the info you've given me, you can go faster around all these corners. If you begin rolling earlier, or roll faster here you can go 10% faster at the apex!....etc etc" and you could say "well computer, I can't cause that would mean....etc etc...previous corner....etc"

so also useless.

Sometimes guys like bogan and I like to hack these wee projects together for fun, and wank factor, cause lets face it, driving a bunch of LED's based on a scale from an analogue input isn't nearly as cool mounted to a desk, or a house, or a lamp post amirite?

know what would be cool? hooking up the lean-O-meter to a bunch of RBG LED strips hidden under the fairings etc, so when you rode around at night the ambient glow under the bike changed colour as you leaned in to corners. MAXIMUM WANK.

Time machine, go around the corner, log data whilst crashing, then come back and do it properly

Thinking too small, my version would say, "right you pussy, sit your arse down in the pits, I'm going for a hoon without you"

that would be cool, and you'd have a big red glow that would make it easy to find in the ditch when you throw it down the road too!

LEDs are bloody neat though, just put 44 into my new headlight (11 control groups)...

I wonder at what point MNZ would notice that it's taking me for a ride......probably the one time I turn it on and forget to sit on the thing, so it rolls itself out of pits and sets a lap record without the pesky meatsack on the back slowing it down.
