Ahahaha!! Exactly.
Squid Light presents: Real Men of Genius. Today we salute you, Mr. Wheelie Zooming Stunter Without Regard for Public Safety: speeding, reckless driving, waking up the neighbors at 3am...you've done it all. Women's panties drop at the sound of your unmuffled exhaust...hospitals activate their trauma units...old people shout and point until they fall dead from a heart attack...and everyone else just doesn't get it. You're an inspiration to double-digit IQ miscreants everywhere--if they knew what an inspiration was. So crack open an ice-cold Squid Light, Mr. Crotch Rocket 'n Sandals...because without you, our insurance premiums would be affordable. And that's just effin boring...

To be fair- when I read the original post, I honestly didn't think he was describing squids per se. He didn't admire not wearing gear or anything like that. To a little kid, even a responsible rider taking off at a light is going to seem to be going incredibly fast.
I get what he's saying, is all I'm trying to say. Motorcycles do look "cool" and they sound awesome and at some point in our lives all of us were admiring riders before we knew what gear was or how to wear it. My views have done a 180 since I started riding and realizing what constitutes safe vs non-safe riding, but I can look back and remember the "OMFG that's amazing, I want to do that!" incidents.

For me:
I started riding sport bikes before they became wildly popular like they are now.
I grew up watching Evil Knievel, then Scott Russell and the AMA Super bike series, so I have different "heroes" I guess.
One thing about wheelies and stunting in general...
Once you have seen one stoppie, wheelie, etc. you have seemingly seen them all.
Like that show Superbikes on Speed. I get bored with that show really easily.

I'm a little confused....
You say that you are thankful to the squidlets who gave you the initial drive to get on a bike, and yet you say that you don't necessarily agree with what they do. It is indeed strange that the role models are not followed as a consequence into the crazy behaviour which we as "sensible" riders decry on a regular basis.
Are you being honest with your self ?

But thank you sir, for interpreting that all wrong and judging me non-worthy of being in your presence on this forum.
Many. Most, in fact.
Your admiration of squids is far from universal. Most cagers detest them. A good many riders are irritated by them. Their wheelies, doubling the speed limit, and endangering others as well as themselves create a negative image of riders in general.
I am as enamored of squids as I am of cagers who cut other drivers off, run red lights, talk on a cell phone, drive drunk and blast out of parking lots without looking. Both groups should be sentenced to riding public transportation or walking.
If you are riding because you want to be a squid, do yourself and the rest of us a favor. Sell your bike. Get a ricer with a loud stereo and create a negative image for that group. You'll live longer and we will have one less person making people think we're all two wheeled jerks.

Lol, this is too funny.
So to summarize: "Thanks to all you jacka$$es out there who thought pulling wheelies in traffic and doubling the speed limit in the pursuit of showing off to little kids and ignorant cagers was a cool thing to do. Without you I'd have never gotten a bike myself, yay me."
You want to follow a real riding example, pick someone along the line of Duhamel, Spies, etc. People with actual skill, talent and common sense, I can totally understand, as a little kid, being impressed by the cool big kids on their nifteh toys doing sweet things. But, um, your older now, right? You should recognize that behavior for the needy attention whoring squidly bs that it is, and despise it.
"When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things." Etc.
Someone shoot me I think I just qouted the bible to prove a point, damn I'm a hypocrite. Regardless, fact is dumb a$$ squids (not talking about responsible stunters here) make life alot harder for those of us with a brain, not only screwing with our reputation and safety, but also our finances. Why do you think your insurance is so high? We all speed, sometimes we all show off a little and all of us occasionally have a lil fun with our bikes, but what your describing is flatout squidly bs.
Thanks squids? Lol, F U squids, put on a fuggin helmet and quit riding around with you and your gf in shorts and flip flops, my IQ drops just looking in your direction.

stupid is s stupid does, and I am blunt to the point and honest as all get out. The behavior describe in the OP's post is just that, stupid, plain and simple no way around it. Now I am not judging or labeling the op as he did state he doesnt do all that, but only because he is afraid of f**king his bike up. Then he post how he would do exactly that if he were not afraid of f**king his bike up. So at this time he is not stupid, just wants to do stupid shyt and amires those who do stupid shyt.
I admire and respect those who do stunt etc in the appropriate places and times. Alot of them have skills most will never learn, a hand full of the of those skills can be used in the real world, but not many lol.

I Understand your confusion, I believe it comes from you inability to read and comprehend at a high school graduate level. Here let me spot light where you seem to have gotten lost.
In case that didn't help any, I'll rephrase. If I didn't care that my bike was minty fresh, I'd be hitting wheelies in lots, stoppies at stop signs, and giving drivers heart attacks by passing them at 140mph on the HW.
But thank you sir, for interpreting that all wrong and judging me non-worthy of being in your presence on this forum.
So, you believe that people expressing their opinion has no effect on others when in their post they are referring to other bikers who don't go the speed limit, and keep both wheels on the ground as squids and idiots? I'm sorry, but if anyone feels the need to go that far and call people names and judge them, it's called b-a-s-h-i-n-g.
Read the first one I quoted, and read my response. Then take a step back and read your post. Then judge who the jerk is.

Pilot: I read your OP, read the first one you quoted and your response, and found that my interpretation of what your OP said was spot on.
You want to be a squid, and don't only because you don't want to scratch your bike. I stand by my words and advice. Perhaps you should read the last paragraph again, with particular attention to the bolded print:
"If you are riding because you want to be a squid, do yourself and the rest of us a favor. Sell your bike. Get a ricer with a loud stereo and create a negative image for that group. You'll live longer and we will have one less person making people think we're all two wheeled jerks.
Note that does not say you are a a squid even though your post intimates you'd like to be one, or that we are all jerks. It only says squids cause others to think we are two-wheeled jerks.
Not all stunters are squids. Not all who ride fast are squids. Those who stunt in traffic, or whip through traffic 40 to 60 mph above the flow of traffic certainly qualify for the label though. And they do create a negative image for riders in genderal, causing many to consider all riders to be jerks.

Ok, just for arguments sake. If it was possible to make the bikes damage proof and ourselves damage proof, I believe most people on this forum, wheather they would admit it or not, would end up trying most of the "stupid ****" you big time posters bash on. But who would admit to that here in this forum when they know how these forums are run and would end up targets for you all to hate on.
