That makes the leaning angle not directly proportional with the speed of the bike. That means that between 20 and 30 degrees accommodates a wider range of speeds than between 30 and 40 degrees. At 45 degrees, the horizontal force pushing the tires is equal to the combined weight of bike and rider. If not acceleration is happening, around 40% of that force tries to skid the front tire and 60% the rear tire.

Those are the same people not wanting to have chicken strips in their tires

Hello everyone! The school is too far for me, but I have just joined to learn from you all. I have been a full time street rider since 1978 (started in Cuba, where I am from). Now I live in South Florida and I love discussing the physics and mechanics of motorcycles. After all those years of riding and repairing bikes, I believed I had accumulated much knowledge (mainly for surviving on the streets). Well, Keith's books and the DVD have proven to me that that knowledge of mine was not much at all. Although I will never probably be on a track, I like the California Superbike School; therefore, I will enjoy the discussions in the Forum. I'll see you at there.
