You Might Be A S.Q.U.I.D. (Some Quick Unimportant Immature Dumbass) If ...

Take the following test and find out ... If you say "Hey! That's what I do !" to more than a few of these statements, you're in serious trouble! Rehabilitation isn't out of the question, it just takes a lot of effort and a lot of maturity on your part.

37. You ride around with your $500 SHOEI bungie netted to your rear seat.
38. You drag your brand new $300 AGV boots in order to simulate years of hard cornering use just so you can brag about your 'years' of hard cornering use.

112. You think neon is cool.

ROFL... didnt you post this thread? jk! I had to do it!

is a Squid basically a bike poser?

 

squid = dumbass who tries to impress others with tricks and such but who has very limited skills. Usually the last peeps to wear protective gear.

poseur = dude who buys the latest greatest (lotsa bling) hoping peeps will be impressed with the ride. These peeps will talk smack about what their ZX12 will do but they won't race (street or track) to back it up. Chicken strips of at least 1/2".

 

too long a list for me to look at to b honest, i got lost halfway through but i know the type you mean. They usually bye the most expensive up to date bike and ride like a total grandad. then tell everyone how fats they are.

 

so as you all may know, i do not have a bike right now...i have too many 4 wheel projects....but anyway...i have a friend who has a late model 1000RR...who goes ON and ON about how he will "destroy my car"...which is true...i know that he will. my car runs mid 12s...but even when i offered to PAY his admission to the track..he backs out.
