Granted, he only knows so much, but there are no loose parts, the discs don't seem too worn out, and there are still grooves in the tires. Better than a lot of the options he'd seen at the scrapyard. ]

Turns can be particularly tricky. Your tendency will be to slow down too much, and to fight the gravity pull, and both of those things will definitely make you fall.
