What is a squid anyway?

[teddy037.2]

 

the squid test told me this:

Your score indicates that you are a halfway decent rider and wise-ass who is way too narcissistic his or her own good.

DID YA MISS ME? I SEE YOU SPENT ALL THE TIME I WAS AWAY TALKING SMACK ABOUT ME RATHER THAN RIDING OR GIVING USEFUL TIPS ON REPAIR OR ACCESSORIES. 

SQUID: SOMEONE WHO SPENDS $12,000 PLUS ON A HOOLIGAN BIKE CALLED A MONSTER, ONLY TO RIDE IT AROUND AT 55MPH BECAUSE ANYTHING FASTER WOULD JUST BE DOWN RIGHT ILLEGAL. FOR SHAME!!!

JUST SO YOU KNOW.... CHRISTIAN PHEIFER STUNTS A MONSTER, WITH A LITTLE BACKING FROM DUCATI. THEY MUST BE PART OF THIS CONSPIRACY OF SQUIDS. Edit: I think he jumped ship to BMW, and they are giving him money too!!

AS FAR AS ME ONLY HAVING INTERNET KUNG FU, I OFFERED TO GIVE MY ADDRESS TO ANYONE WHO WANTED TO STOP BY TO PLAY ON MY TOYS. BUT I GUARANTEE YOU, YOU WONT COCK OFF TO ME UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!

AS FAR AS DUCATISTI BEING MORE MATURE(BULL$HIT), YOU ONLY HAVE MORE MONEY. NOT MORE COMMON SENSE OR SKILL!   THERE ISN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE RIDING BIKES YET FOR YOU PEOPLE TO BE MAKING FUN OF OR POINTING FINGERS AT, OR CALLING NAMES JUST BECAUSE YOU RIDE A MORE EXPENSIVE BIKE. NOT MORE POWERFUL, JUST MORE EXPENSIVE. NOT FASTER, JUST MORE EXPENSIVE.

I'M NOT SOME KID WHO STUNTS MY SCOOTERS. I DO HAVE A CRF50 THAT I STUNT UP AND DOWN MY STREET, BUT THAT'S IT. I ENJOY EVERYTHING ABOUT MOTORCYCLES, EXCEPT THIS $HIT. YOUR NOT BETTER THAN ME, OR ANYONE ELSE THAT DOESN'T RIDE... WELL.....SLOW, SAFE,? SO I TAKE OFFENSE TO ANY ONE WHO ACTS LIKE THAT. YES, I KNOW THAT IT IS STUPID OR DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN SHORTS AND FLIPFLOPS AND DO WHEELIES DOWN THE STREET. BUT IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. "WE" ALL PAY THE "POLICE" TO MAKE IT THEIR BUSINESS. LET THEM ENFORCE THE LAWS. IF YOU WANT TO DO IT GET A BADGE! WE ARE TOO SMALL OF A GROUP(MOTORCYCLISTS) TO BE BASHING EVERYONE ELSE FOR HOW THEY RIDE. I PERSONALLY REFER EVERYONE I KNOW TO TAKE THE MSF COURSES. HAS EVERYONE ON HERE? NO! I HAVE NUMEROUS TIMES AND ALSO INSTRUCTED WHILE IN THE AIR FORCE. SO WHY CAN'T WE ALL GET OUT AND RIDE, STOP BASHING AND WAVE TO EVERYONE ON A BIKE AND STOP TRYING TO BE SO ELITE BECAUSE YOU RIDE YOUR MONSTER RESPONSIBLY. WHO CARES, JUST RIDE IT AND LET EVERYONE ELSE RIDE THEIRS.

Okay Hitler, I hope I wasn't too offensive, or too abrasive. or too vulgar, or too threatening?

I don't think anyone here is trying to 'enforce' the way people ride.  This is a group of people that mostly agree on a particular style and approach to riding, or at least what they *think* is not safe and careless.

Besides, the definition of a squid isn't unique to this board, you know that. 

If you want to get banned, do a better job at it.  I can think of waaay better ways of pissing people off    Your kung fu is weak sauce.  You can...<oh, maybe I should yell this too> YOU CANNOT TAKE THE PEBBLE FROM THE HAND. 

If you are truly offended at a community not reveling in the squid's approach to riding, this probably won't be a good hang out for you.

I think I am!!! I think you are ineffective as a debater. You lack the skill and eloquence to make a point without resorting to threats, name calling, OR ALL CAPS!!!! You should go now, perhaps we can discuss further after you've completed puberty and your hormones settle a little bit.

Hahaha "weak sauce"!!!

I was waiting for the Kid Squid carnage  Is that bad of me 

[Speeddog]

Chaos 321,
You're making quite an impression.
Please tone it down.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

[Kaveh]

I was waiting for the Kid Squid carnage  Is that bad of me 

He was wearing a t-shirt...

I actually wanted to see him do a nice long stand-up

It would be sad to see a kid that young get scarred for life because he was doing 30mph on a pocket bike that went down.

Don't those pocket bikes do 50mph with adults on them?

This is one of my favorite Squid Movies

BWahahahahahaha

This guy should check his fork oil, I think it might be a little low.

No, he needs to check his brake fluid 

[kutter]

Uh, ok I freely admit that I am not the sharpest tack in the box, but, umhh...did the little brat get banned,....again,....for good? I can't see any of his post for some reason.  Besides he is just trying to make his e-penis bigger and I would gladly go to his house and have a chat with the lad although he might be caught a little unaware since I don't believe in unarmed combat.

[Scottish]

Looks like he either got banned or removed himself. I did go over to TOB just to check him out. I considered saying some nasty stuff in someones elses sandbox. I was going to include Lukering too( Gawd that guy is abbrassive), eventually I decided it wasn't worth it and didn't want to add anything of any effort to that place so I left peacefully. I definitely don't shy away from retaliation as a rule, I'm not good at turning the other cheek, but sometimes the person your dealing with isn't worth it.

[jdubbs32584]

You know, I tried to respond to Chaos with reason and I tried to keep my cool but I have to admit that once he started throwing insults, man I was pissed. I gotta work on my anger management. 

[Ducatista]

I find that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_(motorcycle) has the best description I have found.

I love it that we have a board member immortalized in this entry:

A "squidly" rider eschews all or most of the protective gear worn by many riders (helmet, gloves, leather jacket, riding pants, and boots) and the social and legal norms of riding behaviour, and as such is looked upon with derision by experienced motorcyclists, who also refer to them as "organ donors", "Zip-Splats", "a Stillie", "Skin Crayons", CycleWorld, March 1995.</ref> and "soon-to-be-ex-motorcyclists".

Stillie is the one formerly with the infamous upside down GSX-R.
