^^Wow, anger dude. But there are stupid riders on every make, just seemswe hear about more on the GSX-R's.

On parking I work with about 15-20 riders and we squeeze 4-6 bikes in per spot , right by the front doors, otherwise the managers want us to be way out by the street(1/4 mile away)so customers don't loose their precious spots. They are ok with it as long as more than 1 of use shares the stall. KInda sucks that I'm the only sport biker though.

On a postive note most of the other riders herehave all bought helmets in the last month or so. Finally! I told them I wear all my gear because I dress for the wreck, not the ride(thanks to whoever it was from this forum, it's well said). And some of the guys are getting gear like mine because the cruiser world doesn't have armor, and they dig my Icon motorhead in black. Hell I just got a new helmet(AC-12 carbon)and one of the guys did too(midline HJC), but now he wants my helmet! LOL, Glad to be a good influence for once.

 

I love the mention of national squid months. Its so true though. I have seen more paper plates and lack of gear in the last month than I care to even talk about.

On that note the owner of our company wrecked his harley and himself yesterday. He was coming out of his driveway (its really a road to his house), which is kinda twisty because it surrounds his private lake, and his son was coming to his house. I dont know which one wasnt paying attention and not looking at the road, but he had to swerve off the road and hit the grass where he laid the bike down at what I would guess to be 20mph. He is fine, but fairly bruised up. Havent seen the bike yet, but shorts and t-shirts he found out arent very condusive to lay your bike down.

 

hahahahah suzuki riders man. just beware some ppl here will get mad if you clown squidzuki riders, but the fact is from what ive seen 9 out of 10 fit the stereotypical profile, ive only ridden with one kid on a suzuki that could really ride, and he was gooooood. squids like the R6 and r1 too ive noticed. i guess its cool to say "gixxer" or something, i spend hours yesterday tryin to change a damn suzuki tire, their caliper is on the bottome of the swingarm? thats gay. +1 about the no gear and minty bikes i see that **** too, those bikes usually wind up being picked up by stunters after squids rash the plastics and cry about it cause its not perfect anymore. probably no different than any normal year, although sportbikes are growing in popularity IMO, keep on squiddin'

 

i know a few guys on suzukis and for the most part there good riders and wear most of there gear. but then again they dont ride gxxers.

its not even really the gear that gets to me i figure hell it there skin there life and there descision to wear it and i find it stupid but not my problem.

its just people doing stupid crap why would you come up along side of a rider and not know him or have him know your there i could have turned and would have turned ugly

 

nicely put bmg.... agreed 100%

 

Amen.

Lately, when I see squids, I just shun them off. They pull up to me at stoplilghts, revving the **** out of their engines (wearing their Hollister gear) and I just keep my visor down and shake my head and continue on as usual.

 

I mostly ride alone.

 

I don't think squids and Gixxers happened on purpose.

For the last few years, GSXR's have been the bike to beat, on track and off. Before that, it was the R6 and R1.

Now that the CBR600 RR is back on top again, and stays on top long enough, (2 years)...people who only go with what's popular will be squidding on the RR.

Just wanted to point out that because someone uses a tool incorrectly, you don;t bitch at the tool...you bitch at the user.

The RR moniker will finally work commercially...as Honda now has THE bike to back it up.
