First track on my Bmw yesterday! Awesome bike... Don't know how you manage your lean angles lol

I dont trust the lean angle thing, it told me I had 50 degrees on the way home from buying it haha.
 
i had 56 degrees on sunday on the road and i will tell you now, i wont be doing that again.lol the front went and after a slide i managed to kick it back up with my boot. ive now got a very scuffed side of my boot.

just had a look at my boots and didn't realize just how close this incident was. these boots were unmarked and all the scuffs was from the front end slide. I have seen 58 degrees before with no issues but this was a right hand bend that went down hill a little like a corkscrew. I think i was leaning a little too much as the ground leveled out as this is when the front went. these lean angle indicators may work out costly. :)





 
lol, forgot to take a pic when we got to the next stop i had 54 on the left and the 56 on the right. dangerous game though.lol
 
thats what i was thinking although ive just seen a few in the 60's on track. wonder what people get on track with slicks.
 
I had 59 deg on Supercorsa SP's. I was loving it and didn't think i was leaning that far tbh. I'm out on slicks in Spain in two weeks so shall have another look. Like Ryan has said to me before, i need to get off the bike more so as not to lean the bike so far for a given speed.
 
Just out of interest are you using std footpegs or got raised rearsets?

How long do you get when you hire it out? Been up for a nosey but never managed a shot of it due to working on track dates.

I think Baz maxed out at 63?? degrees when he crashed. He certainly knows what the limits are :).
