Will a "leanometer" lead to crashes?

Christ,John, knew you'd had that little off on the fun bikes at Teeside , didn't realise you'd got fairly well bust-up ... heal well and soon , sure you will , hope to see you out before too long !

Cheers Grahame.

I like to think if you're gonna make an omlete you've got to break a few eggs.

I hate Honda's BTW.

If were just posting sidestand angles may as well add mine.

some analogue lean angle yesterday....

I'm not used to seeing that bike that way round.

Btw, it'll be at the new unit next week. It would've been there today, but I'm going to need someone to help me push it as it's like treacle at the moment.

You can't lean it any further than when the fairings against your knee and the other side of your knee is on the ground.

I can't be arsed to look through hundreds of photos of mine to get a better camera angle.

[Wedg1e]

If I lean my bike far enough over, the tilt sensor on the headstock turns the ignition off to save the engine.

Mind you, by that point I'll already have crashed...

My stabilisers stop me leaning it over

That's the furthest that bike has ever leant

No it's not. The guy who owned it before me was pretty good too

[moanthebairns]

Meh. I can't lean much. I did get a rather lovely set of diamond bars for my birthday though. A bit wider and able to move from stock. This might stop my trolley arms.

I used to think this was good...



Is there any defence in saying that it's a road bike on road tyres?

Thought not!

[Tim85]

Full lean mode...

[moanthebairns]

I've got that jacket but in blue. I got that 4 years ago. How old is that photo?

I'm just curious no motive

[Pebbles167]

If you ask Moanthebairms, then those tyres and his standard gearing are the only things between him and a factory MotoGP ride.

That is piss funny, but sadly not far from the truth when you see some of the riding, especially in Inters, or some of the slower Fast group riders.

I see loads of big lean angles on track, usually when I nearly run into them going into or out of a corner.

They dawdle up to the corner or chug out of the corner, when you try to explain to them all you get is "yeah but I had my knee down"

I give up, honestly I do.

At first it started of as a serious comment, then when I discovered how much it annoyed mckeann it became constant. Somewhere along the way I've lost track of if I'm being serious or not. I can't tell anymore. I'm not even sure if people know I'm in on it as well. I don't know if there laughing with me or at me.

I'm dreading fitting my track tyres and new sprockets

That old video that I had of me in Inters from about two years ago is brilliant. The amount of people I rode round who are throwing their knee at the ground desperate to get it down is amazing.

I hope I don't look like this...
