I'm pretty sure I understand what the OP was getting at, and I was giving my take on it. That's what we do on the forums, right? We discuss things relevant to the theme of the forum?
For sure

It will always be the place where my bike spends the most time (since its unavoidable).

So that's me and why I am. Someone wants to call me a squid? Personally I think they need a better definition.

PS

As soon as it opens up, I plan to sign up for the 2010 MSF Experienced Riders Course. When I get a 2nd bike, I will take on both track and stunt classes. The Poconos prolly have some decent twisties I can play in. And Pennsylvania is a huge place to explore. But all that is for the weekend. And anything I learn there I will still focus and apply on what's 24 / 7: the street
Everything about the above labels you as a "squid" just wanted you to know that.

And your attitude defines you as "negligible". Just thought you should know that

Talking easy killa

wair your tentacles proud Kuro... what has been said in this thread can be used for your benefit, read what you wrote... in one sentance you mentioned a safty course, track lessons, and stunt classes.. thats a big plate , slow down , enjoy riding for what its ment to be , FUN , peeps opinions of your "riding style" will always vary and your very detailed post of your life history will olny be used against you ,(sad to say). Dont worry about impressin the crowd , my best riding happens when theres not a soul near me to see it, and when you get off the bike and your knees are a little wobbly from addrenelin and your in one peice, youll know your doin it right. wear good gear , whatch out for cages, and work up to track/stunt. oh yeah , get used to body work if stunting is in your future. Peace bro

Sounds to me that he has found a new interest and is passionate about it.

Passion is something that is lacking in so many people today.

If that makes him a squid, then I'm a squid as well.
