Motorcycle riders love curves, it's what drives most bikers. We'll go out of our way to ride them. But for the serious curve riders, the ones that like putting their knees down, there's now an iPhone app that allows you to record the event.
Italian Aspidea have produced an app (for non-geeks that's software), called Kneeslider  , that runs on the Apple iPhone that will record the roads you take with many curves. It allows you to measure your performance in the curves, either on the public roads or on tracks. The app records the lean angles and acceleration that the bike is subjected to during the ride.
The data is displayed with a map, so that you can record your favorite roads, but you can also specify which part of the curve you like best. The best trajectories can be displayed against different motorcycle models, since you can specify which bike you are using. This way you can compare the performance of each bike.
As a souvenir, you can tell your smartphone to take a photo of you in a specific part of the curve, for example, place the iPhone in a holder on your handlebar, and instruct it to take a photo of you in the middle part of a specific curve; the place you know where you'll have your knee down.
All this data can be shared with other on their official Facebook page.
The app can work sitting in your pocket or tankbag, but it's not recommended if you want a proper recording. Best is to mount the phone on your handlebar and place it in a horizontal position.
Price: €1.79 / €1.49 / $1.99
