matching shoes, purse, gloves and hat not mad love, just color coordinated [sm=smiley16.gif]
ORIGINAL: vspriderz

so, a guy with full matching gear is considered a poser or squid? (ex.a guy with a repsol bike with a repsol helmet and 1 piece gear) i would've thought that the rider just has mad love for that specific bike?

A Squid is a motorcycle rider who, experienced or not, rides outside his abilities and sets poor examples by attire, propriety, and general behavior on the motorcycle. Check out this self assessment test

After the first 5 questions i couldn't go any further. That test is retarted. I noticed alot of different senarios for squids. Personaly I like to match. Whether I'm riding or out haning out. If you go out for a formal your not going to look good AND match. Maybe I'm a little metro but Look good feel good. Good gear most of the time tends to be the best. Nothing wrong w/ wearing the best gear, better than no gear. Not to be mean but don't hate if you can't afford it. Ahhh just venting!!!!![sm=rant.gif]

A squid is anyone that's a danger to themselves and the rest of the world everytime they get on a bike.

My definition: people who rev everytime they stop, people who buy gear but don't wear it, people who have no experience and buy liter bikes, people who race everything that moves, people who weave in and out of traffic and lane split.

Now I do not agree with people doing wheelies and stoppies being squids. If you can perform these without wrecking, then you are an entertainer.

Also customizing your bike doesn't make you a squid, imo. Those tires arer ghey though

Also lane splitting is only ok in cali., right?

Personally I catch the shoulder for 1 light at 5 o'clock kirman rd traffic (orlando). If not it would take me 4 light changes to make it through, and I don't have the patience for all that. I actually never did it till I saw a guy on a HD do it. Its not lane splitting though, I wouldn't do that...too ignorant

So far, 15887 people (including you) have responded to this Squid Test Survey and have been tabulated. Of those responses, the average grade is 53. Your grade was

*****77****

(from 0 to 100), and 0 out of the 115 questions were left un-answered. The average number of questions answered in this test is 47.

A higher grade indicates a stronger sense of common decency, and a lower grade is an indication of conspicuous squidliness and general disregard for civilized society.

***Your score indicates that you are a halfway decent rider and wise-*** who is way too narcissistic his or her own good.
Your test answers seem a bit skewed however. Are you sure you properly answered ALL the questions on the form?***

that pic above me is f'n hilarious! the thing with me is though is i might be a squid sometimes, it's just what i feel at the time, for some reason if a have to get from point a to point b i would just rather do it on 2 wheel rather than 4.
