> I never thought of that. That’s a good point. Heck, the rake angle and trail length are the reason why sport bikes are more susceptible to slappers in the first place. I wonder if a bike squats enough to change the angle by more than a degree or two? Granted that might be enough…

it doesn’t take a lot of angle increase off of zero to yield a large increase in the slope of the tangent of the sine function.
