More grip if you corner faster?

Submitted by GeoffonTour (not verified) on January 13, 2008 - 16:54.

I recently had a discussion with someone about whether or not a bike has more grip at a higher corner speed. I argued that it did not, but he said something about the bike's lean angle making it dig in more if you went faster.

I'm fairly sure the effect would be negligable but he was adamant it wasn't.
