Too low an rpm can cause too little oil to reach the connecting rod bearings. That means that when the engine fires and the piston gets slammed downward by the explosion the end of the connecting rod is also slammed against the crankshaft journals. In time they literally get pounded flat. Then, if your lucky, you replace the crank, the rods, etc. If you're not so lucky the motor gets pizzed at you, siezes up, sticks a rod through the cylinder into your leg and severs an artery. But that might not matter 'cause you're sliding on your azz down the friggin' interstate during rush hour and eleven-teen cars, three pickups, fivety-two SUVs, and twelvety-four 18-wheelers run over you.

Put another way, if you lug the motor, you'll ruin the bearings eventually. Now, even if you have cash to buy more bearings and pay exhorbitant repair and replacement fees (assuming you're still alive after the severed artery or the 18-wheeler enema), that means less money to buy bling. What the *** would you be thinking to do that?

I doubt he would put a rod through the sidewall if he rides at low rpms. Throwing a bearing, bending the crank, scoring the hell out of a cylinder, etc. I would think is much more likely. Of course if any of the above happen, he is probably going to go down when the motor seizes and all of that other stuff, i.e. 18 wheeler enema, can very well happen.
