You might be a squid if:

After spending your first week ever on a motorcycle, you decide that a 600 is way too slow, and you get the gsxr 1000...

....If you buy all the gear with the bike and give all the gear to your girlfriend (in the car) while you ride home gearless.

You might be a SQUID if ;
"You have to stop on the shoulder of an ON Ramp to unstrap the helmet from the side of your bike and actually put it on, because obviously Highway riding is so much more dangerous than riding down the street. I stopped with a kid who did this yesterday while cars were zipping by us at 60mph."

Actually saw this one the other day, SQUID on a CBR600F4i, wife beater muscle shirt, cut off jean shorts, sandals, and his helmet was resting on top of his head. Not ON his head and secure, just stuck on top of his pumpkin like it was a hat rack or something. I kept waiting for a good gust of wind to come along and take the helmet off. -Christopher T. Shields

You ride in sandals

You bad mouth all "other" brands of bikes (and have never ridden them)

You tell anyone you have gone 160 on the street

Your "racing" jacket is from Wal-Mart.

You think Arai is Jamaican for OK

You don't have a clue what a Buell is

You bought a Sport bike and put saddlebags and a sissy bar on it so you can go to Sturgis.

You keep fouling plugs riding with the choke on

You have Harley stickers on your car and ride a Rebel

Your Mom and Dad won't ride with you

There is a crack in your helmet

You helmet is the wrong size

You ride with ANY safety features on your bike not working

You have a cup holder duct taped to your handlebars.

[font=arial][b]You install race compound tires yet most of your rides consist of 10 minute jaunts across town in gridlock.

You grind down the feelers under the foot pegs with a bench grinder so people will think you can REALLY corner.

You're 100 lbs. overweight and complain that your bike just can't seem to hold that inside line.

You drive out of state to ride someplace where helmet laws aren't enforced.

Your rear sprocket closely resembles a radial saw blade.

Your brakes let out a spine tingling squeal every time you come to a stop at an intersection

You have all of your "sponsors" decals on your bike and patch

You might be a squid if you use the word squid for any other reason than to buy bait.

Hmm...I fall into a few of those categories I suppose. Not because I am a "squid" but because I might not be able to afford a 400$ jacket or a 700$ helmet. I love how the motorcycle elitists act like they are any different than any other pretentious snob. I mean I wear leather a heavy Wilson’s my ICON helmet that I got because they were cheap. I suppose when I can afford to but some nice gear then I will earn the right to not get ridiculed or labeled by a Motorcycle elitist.Or maybe when I decide that stunting is the most enjoyable part or riding…..
