Do I think it is rediculous for someone to lower their bike and take it to the corner to hang out/pose or ride it around downtown, yes because it takes away turning clearance and they are most likely wanting to look like the drag race. That guy IS drag racing so his bike is set up as it should be for what he is doing.

I know the reason behind lowering a bike. I've seen many bikes lowered that have never seen a drag strip or at least very few times and their primary purpose was not to drag but only for looks. The way his bike is set up I doubt his bike is primarily for drag racing. It's a street bike made to look like a drag racer that he might take to the track one or twice ever.
