Umm... until your on your side and all forward or rearward movement is lost. (really.. have you technically rolled if your sidwalls can still move you? <G>) After you hit that, just back off a little.

Mines around 45-50 degrees, probably more but with a crawl ration of 45:1 things are moving too fast going beyond that.

Yep, I bet I can do 180, pretty easily.

I bought one of those tilt meters about 15 years ago--I just found in the back of the locker in my garage yesterday still in the box. I'll have to look at it closer but I think I could peg the meter! Back then we thought 30 degrees was a lot! Now I know I can go beyond 45 degrees--my truck will start smoking and I have to hold the gas at about 2500 rpm and it still runs rough and surges because gas has starved the jets when things tilt over this much!

Yeah I bought one of those tilt meters and mounted it on the dash back in high school. You know because those mud fields got really off camber:rolleyes:
It's still in there now just for amusement. I tell people when it pegs we are gonna roll over. Then I keep going another10 degrees and my rider is about to shit themselves. Works better with girls in the passenger seat :flipoff2:
