Is that bike even designed to go around corners?

I believe "fap" has to do with masturbation, or the sound one makes when you masturbate. I'm 44, so the "hip" slang often eludes me, and I wasn't entirely sure what it meant.

Further prove I'm far from cool = use of the word "hip."

Damn, unless the perspective is waaaay off, I don't see any way he makes that corner if he's doing more than 7mph.

I think he cares more about looking good than stopping fast... Maybe he came off a Harley, one tiny front rotor is enough for anyone, right? Besides, if you breath on the front brake to hard, you'll flip over the bars...

What's the point of hanging off if the hard parts are still 8" above the pavement? Nothing gained.

Until that corner tightens up or something jumps out in front of you. You respond a lot quicker if you're already in position.
