Ducati Monster Forum

I was doing a bit of research on the term "Squid" that Sean loves to use. Until a couple of weeks ago I was totally unfamiliar to this then I heard Sean refer to a bunch of guys on rice burners as "Squids". He told me that it was a term used for the guys who don't ride with proper gear, flip-flops, etc...bla bla bla! Check out this site and see if you know anyone who maybe one or...hmmmm...maybe you might be one yer self! And don't forget to take the "Squid Purity Test"...haha!

All I know is when the wind is blowing through my mullet, flip-flops, and wife beater, then I am truly having a good time on my motorcycle. I especially love that my sunglasses protect me at around 200mph (which my 99 monster does with ease)!! [laugh]

 [moto]....but other than that, I don't know any squids myself??!!

I would be lying if I said I was Mr. Safe Rider. I have some squidish tendencies ;) and as for knowing squids I know a handfull, because who else will teach me to do wheelies and stoppies properly [cheeky]

I'd like to find that squid that cut off Cory mid-corner and turn him into KTM calamari. 

Oh, is that what happened? I thought he just went into a corner to hot?? ???

He pulled an inside, out on Cory.  Cory passed him ahead of the corner, the KTM rolled up behind and came inside on him right at the apex.  Cory went wide, on the shoulder and went straight keeping the bike up on the gravel and trying to stop. 

WTF??? you guys racing in the canyon?  [bang]   Passing in lane?   Truly bad form guys  :-\

i'll be the first to admit... we need to take it to the track.

so, smitch... you being in the "biz"... talk to me pops, and the other guys at the shop, and try to get a track day going for us.

its times like this that i really curse the bastards that shut down PPIR... i say, open it up to paid (and profitable, since its just sitting there  :'( ) trackdays!

 it was discussed that this was a no-no on the ride that i attended on the 18th of may.  although, anything above deckers seemed to be a no-holds-barred type of RACE.  i've never experienced anything like it. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, I wasn't there but it didn't sound like the KTM rider was one of ours. I hope we know better than to pass someone in lane in a corner, on the road.

You are correct bro...

What kind of KTM was it? A supermoto???

Just remember everyone, it is early in the "Season"...keep it cool if you have not been riding hard lately.

900sp... you are definitely not kidding about those 3 links!
do not eat prior to viewing...  [puke]

Ya...I'm thinkin the Supermoto 690 SMC!
