P.S. A kid just moved in up the street w/ a hyosung gt250r. I think it has about 31 hp stock and doesn't break 100 w/ him on it, he's 180, 6'0" or so tall. I might just race him after I get to know the guys better, I invited him to ride today but they just moved in yesterday and are still un-packing.

Yeah, but you need to ride slow lopee so every one can see you GS.

if it was a cop, he couldve slapped you with a ticket for "display of acceleration".  but congrats on smoking a stang!

last week me and three friends displayed acceleration for a cop and burnt him on a country road.  Of all my friends I have the smallest bike but i can keep up on the high way.  The gs has some real good zip.

Here in CA, they call it "Engaging in a speed contest"  Doesn't matter how far out you take it.  It is a very expensive MISDEMEANOR ticket...  Got one 24 years ago, cost me $607 of my hard earned cash.  I only made $3.35 an hour back then... We had a 1/4 mile marked off on a street in an industrial district.  I beat the guy though...

A young motorcyclist who overestimates his abilities, boasts of his riding skills when in reality he has none.

Squid bikes are usually decorated with chrome and various anodized bits. Rear tyres are too wide for their own good, swingarm extended.

Really slow in the corners, and sudden bursts of acceleration when a straight appears. Squids wear no protection, deeming themselves invincible.

This fact compounds intself with the fact that they engage in 'extreem riding'--performing wheelies and stoppies in public areas.

Squids wreck a lot. Derived from 'squirly kid'

1-ive got enough skill to know how to ride at high speeds and do hairpin turns doing 90km/h. once i get helmet cam, ill post a link to a video for you.
2-my bike has absolutely no chrome, only mods on it are led turn signals, tank pad and mirror.
3- as stated previously, i take my turns just as fast as my straights, and i wear helmet, leather jacket/gloves, 3/4 length boots and jeans
4-i do not know how to wheelie, nor any stunts for that matter
5-i have never wrecked my katana OR my gs500.   

so i dont know who youre calling a squid, cause its def not me.

and you have to remember, 120km an hour is slower than lopee's 115mph. dont forget the conversions!

J/K bro but don't ride too fast for you to not be able to deal with any probs that may and will arise. 

Just to show what I had said "J/K BRO"




Calm down I was just giving you a hard time.

  hahah sorry ...i didnt even see that bud.     

Well geeeez 

I LOVVVVE putting those lil high school punks with their lil tuners in their place!  I find a high entertainment value when tha lil punk with his lil honey in shotgun pulls up beside me revin his stock 4cyl Honda which is all rusted ta shaZam! (but has $5k in rims, $3k stereo, $500 chrome can, and a dollar store gold chain on) and when the light turns green and its go-time... the look on his face when I ride right beside him while he's tryin ta beat me.... its a beautiful thing when I look over, see the frustration and embarassment in his face, give a lil 1 handed  then speed off waiving 

I used to love letting them get all excited at red lights, having them think I'll race them, so they keep revving, the light changes, they take off, and I just gently cruise off the same speed as the rest of traffic, and they end up just looking like a jerk to everyone else around.

Not for the faint of heart but I'd been told that "squid" was derived by the fact that said rider looks like a squid after crashing:

Lines of entrails behind an eventually stopped body.

The same idea though: riding beyond abilities, no gear, etc.

hahah   i never thought of that.   ill def be doing that next time! haha

The trick is to catch them with the GS mid-range acceleration, not the 'off the line' speed.....I let them get going, then catch up and just keep on accelerating into the distance, while they get smaller and smaller in the mirrors..........

The way I look at if a cop was egging me on then he would be breaking the same law as me which in the state of Florida he could also be ticketed because he was not enroute to the scene of a crime. 2. He was also comitting entrapment which is (By definition, entrapment is the act of inducing a citizen to commit a crime that he otherwise wouldn't have considered.)

Not like I do it all the time. But, once in awhile I like to shove their kazoos where the sun don't shine. Of course my friend did it to a beaner once who had the borricua mirror and can. He had a corvette Z-51 coupe when we left I was blowing on a Kazoo. Funny as hell becuase it sounded just like the other dudes car!
