Worked out rake and trail from ‘the photos I could glean’

To be fair, you can learn quite a bit from pictures. For example, you could probably have a decent guess at lean angle from the rear tyre in the picture in the opening post of this thread.

I hear he is that good he can see the difference between 23.5.and 24.5 degrees at a glance......and as for for reading trail he can see that from 100 metres.... let alone being able to distinguish between ground trail and real trail..........

It’s crazy to see the level you are at by how excited you are about chicken strips …when you have been doing it for years you realise it’s just a gauge that you could get rid of at any time!
impressing the little Billy’s in your novice group by excessive lean angles isn’t high on the priority list .. in fact spending as little time as possible on the side of the tyre is much more beneficial to a lap time than thinking you are billy big bollix!

No chicken strip in rear is 100% pre-requisite to go fast these days. This is something you just need to accept and work on.

No one is perfect, I had lots of crap days after crashes when I can't throw the bike into the turn at acceptable speed.

One step at the time.
