I'm guilty of only one. "You rode fast in a hard rain." When I was 16 I rode fast in hard rain & hard hail storms to & from Tomales High School all the time in the winter on my little Honda Nighthawk 450. On a very twisty dangorous road to boot. (Message edited by metalstorm on June 27, 2005) |

You are a guy and you ride passenger with a girl There are quite a number of "girls" I would ride passenger for... As to the extremely long list of remarks at the bottom, there are quite a number of them a squid does not make...there are some that are dead balls accurate, but quite a number are just wrong. |

You don't acknowledge other riders when they wave or nod. THANK YOU! |

Its a pretty big list. The question should be not if you have done these, but when. If you haven't done at least one you most likely don't ride a motorcycle (as much as we may not want to admit to any of these). |

You ride around with your $500 SHOEI bungie netted to your rear seat. I didn't see that one. I'm guilty! Except it was a $300 Shoei. Though the only time it was bungied to my Zephyr was when it wasn't hanging off of my elbow. In the summer of 94' I was a squid. But I'm all better now |

Dammit, I never thought of myself as that much of a squid... I never thought I was a Squid period. Guess I was wrong. Calimari anyone?? |

I have had a bad week. Now I find out I am a squid. C'mon now, that is a harsh list. I was all fine in my little fantasy world when I found out....... |

I think the only way NOT to be a squid, According to that list is to ....... not ride at all (Message edited by along4theride on July 01, 2005) |

you can't describe a squid like that. only a squid would think he can. there are squids that have been riding for 50 years and newbies that aren't squids. not to say that time in the saddle does or doesn't denote squid status. sometimes squids are painfully obvious, other times you can't quite put your finger on it. but there are things not on that list that are squid specific. the list will never be complete. and there are things on that list that don;t make you a squid...such as riding on factory suspension settings for instance...not me ...i mean some guy might do that and not be a squid...right......right guys.........that wouldn't necessarilly make a guy a squid would it ............guys..............i mean the factory settings could be perfect........right? |
