Motorcycle roadracing term for the angle between the center plane of the motorcycle and the vertical plane. The more the motorcycle is leaned over, the greater the lean angle. High lean angles are necessary when cornering a motorcycle at high velocity, but too great a lean angle results in loss of traction and often a crash. Riders employ a technique called hanging off in order to alter the rider-motorcycle system's center of mass and thereby minimize the lean angle necessary to negotiate a corner at a given velocity.
Establishing and maintaining the correct amount of lean angle is a balancing act that a motorcycle roadracer must master in order to ride fast.

Motorcycle roadracing term used to describe a crash in which the bike is leaned over while cornering and falls down towards the inside (i.e. the low side). A low side usually occurs when front wheel traction is suddenly lost.
The flip side of this (no pun intended) is a high side crash.
Billy lost the front going into Turn 1 and low sided.

The act of willfully and purposefully murdering a human being in a cruel manner and with the assistance and sanction of state authorities. schiavoΓ’ΒΒ’ing, schiavoΓ’ΒΒ’ed

Term used to describe the act of riding a high performance motorcycle through a corner (or curve) of a closed race track or road course. An expert rider is able to corner his machine at high velocity by increasing the lean angle of the motorcycle while at the same time hanging off of the machine, a technique that is often accompanied by knee dragging.
Cornering is the most difficult skill to master in the sport of motorcycle roadracing.

The act of urinating in the shower. Results in what are quite possibly the most relaxing moments that any of us will ever experience.
"Dude, I showurnated this morning and almost fell asleep standing up."
21π 3π
Term used to describe the cornering technique used by motorcycle roadracers in which they position their body to the extreme inside of and below the normal riding position while riding through a curve in the race track at high speed. By hanging off of the motorcycle in this fashion, the rider alters the center of mass of the rider-motorcycle system and in so doing minimizes the lean angle required to negotiate the corner at a given velocity.
The key to cornering a motorcycle is hanging off in the correct manner and to the proper degree.

A form of intestinal distress brought on by retention of water in the bowels and resulting in butt coffee of varying density and consistency. Characterized by periodic gurgling and/or rumbling noises emanating from the lower abdominal region, and frequently accompanied by cramps. Usually caused by ingestion of bacterial pathogens.
"Shelly sneezed on my macaroni salad, and next thing I know I'm percolating butt coffee!"
