lean angle

Does anyone know what the maximum lean angle is on a given bike?
I'm just reading that that Hoggley's new bike can "lean to 40 degrees". I
have to admit I've never gotten the protractor out mid-corner to measure how
far over I was going but it'd be interesting to know how far away I am from
a GP rider (ie. not even remotely close)

 

If you constantly scrape your boot , your close to max

If you scrape your elbow , your ready for motogp

If you're scaping your elbow, it's either because you're running slicks or you're sliding down the road.

 

The Pilot Powers advertising says they'll do ~50deg in the dry and
40deg in the wet

 

Yes but I bet Rodger Ramjet could do better

TB
ignoring the fact that he pops pills of course

 

Pilot Powers? He got shot down over Russia didn't he?

Well that really depends on what parts HRC makes a-VALE-able to you, no?

Bearing in mind that that stuff is all published by their marketing
department, not their technical department, and isn't maximum lean angle going
to be a function of both the tyre on the bike and the actual bike the tyre is
on? ..so one bike with this tyre may be capable of 50° lean but another bike
may not be.

No, I think they are talking about the tyre on its own.
