Title: You might be a squid if... (lets make a top ten)
Post by: KYGS500E on June 08, 2006, 07:51:28 AM
Hey guys... Just thought I'd see if we had any comedians out there... I'll start with my "YOU MIGHT BE A SQUID IF..."  Please join in for fun!!!

-If you think that you might just take your neighbors cbr
-If your riding gear includes flip-flops or basketball shorts
-If that corvette just had to have NOS... and you weren't REALLY trying anyways
-If you think counter steering has something to do with livestock
-If you have a $500 helmet that looks great hanging from your bike as you ride
-If you tried a wheely instead of the MSF
-If you think this post might be about marine life


Thats all I got for now... hows about you guys????

- If you think you look cooler stunting gearless.
- If you tried to learn to wheelie before you learned to counter steer.
- If you think helmets are for sissies.

Well I understand generally understand that a squid is refering to a stupid ass person, but whats the real definition?  And I started riding to satisfy that craving for speed and yes, sometimes chicks love it.. haha I need a bigger bike.

if:
-you think it takes too long to say "busa" so you're often times heard referring to your sweet "bu"
-you don't wear a jacket because no one offers them in flashy chrome
-you feel its a big assumption that just because you're wearing flip flops and a wife-beater that you're not still "armored"
-you remember the good old days: back when you had skin
-its not a farmer tan - its a biker tan
-you wonder why people keep talking about the importance of both tires...you only seem to need one
-when you say 40 it doesn't refer to a speed limit (who would go that slow), rather ounces...the breakfast of champions
-your blood type is asphalt
-you ride faster than a chuck norris roundhouse kick

--or--

If your idea of a good road is wide and straight

If you go 100 miles an hour on straight roads and 001 mpg on a sweeper

if you have posted asking how to wheelie at any point.
if you are waiting for the "learn how to wheelie" tapes off ebay to sell for 5 bucks including shipping.
if you had to have that muffler and jet kit instead of some protective gear.
if you've ever blamed an imaginary animal for you own stupidity.
if you thought acking squidly was something from sponge bob square pants.

and I should amend that to say: if you think you can ride out of the way of a chuck norris roundhouse kick

Alrighty after careful consideration.....

10. You say that you didn't shake after the first time you went full throttle
9. Flip-Flops
8. A-shirts (slang term is "wife beater")
7. You have GSX-R 600 or 1000 and lose to a GS500 because you went 1st Neutral 2nd
6. You spend a more time in front of starbucks than actually riding
5. You go plenty fast straight, but drop BELOW the posted speed in turns
4. Have sliders that clash with your bike (i.e. pink on green bike)
3. You have a colored windscreen (i.e. red or purple)
2. You have ever considered fur a valid modification for your bike. (http://moblog.co.uk/blogs/1549/moblog_77bf272b321e7.jpg)
1. You care more about what other riders think than how riding feels

  If you think resurfacing your driveway is doing burnout's and doughnuts on it!

  If you ride around at 8,000 RPM's all the time so your at your peak power!

  If you've removed your GS's turn signals to reduce air friction and weight!

  If you think being an experienced rider is because you can do a wheelie!

I wonder if the mods are aware that its gotten out of control?

- you think a tank bag is some sort of kinky sexual position.

- you asked the dealer why 22's with spinners dont come stock on your new Busa.

- you still think a quick stop is another name for a nooner.

- the new carbon fiber 2 tooth sprocket from e-bay you ordered doesnt match your carbon fiber GSXR 1 piece racing suit.

- "I eat pieces of shaZam! like you for dinner" ........ "You eat shaZam! for dinner!" :laugh:

- finally you were able to replace the air in your front tire with helium... An once told you it helps get that beast on one wheel in 6th.

- you tinted your visor with mirror film on the inside because you couldnt stand to look at all the other squids.

- you avoid rear tire huggers like the plague because you dont swing that way.

- your ring tone is the sound of your bike at rev limit.

- every time you get on your bike the theme song from Night Rider plays in your head.

- you replaced the stock horn with the General Lee's.

- your bike has an air freshener.

- you drilled holes in your helmet to reduce drag.

- you painted your tires to match your bikes paint job.

- your name is Jared.

- you post on forums about your motorcycle, asking in depth questions, giving expert advice, giving reviews of cycle gear and modifications you have made, tell the other forum members off for giving good advice.... and you have never owned a motorcycle in your life.

I could go on and on... lol
