Although i havent yet had the confidence to try this yet.. but how far can you lean into a corner on a road bike before you're another road rash victim?

i sometimes try to go for the whole motogp knee down action, but i guess i must only go over about 30 degrees max.

anyone here mange over 45 degrees?

Watch some of the descending on Le Tour - I'd imagine those guys are the best at it and get to about 40-45 degrees (my estimate).
