just to add to the case that lean angle is not to be used as a guide to safety:
did a Donington trackday yesterday.... first time i did the full course/track...
went out on the first session, did a 1:46 without pushing it..
then on second session the chilly wind picked up and blew right into the garage on the warmers..
went out but they kept us waiting for 3 minutes.
did three laps on a 1:52 because of traffic... then pushed it a bit higher..
lost the front under normal lean as that side of the tires had cooled off as there are almost no heating lefts on Donington... joined the Craner club. No warning, no slides, nothing... front just went away....
just to say....
outdid myself this time at 204kph... pffffffwwww...
fractured wrist and bit bruised..... got lucky i guess...
