I can see the incentive to have be good, or is that what they are missing is incentive to......be....?

I'm just impressed that the youngsters managed to organise themselves enough to all be in the same place at the same time. It must have been like trying to herd cats. :yes:

I had a stunt rider wanting to put on a show at our Quake Ride but I chose not to go with considering the bad publicity if anything went wrong.
I would however, consider it for the next one.

Mean skillz

Something to aspire to

[Teflon]

Very talented riders. If I had their skills, fuck I would pulling stunts everywhere to.. but I don't.. so I'll stick to my little power stands.... thank fuck for horsepower

Their skin, they can wear what they want.. who gives a fuck about anyone else, just worry about yourself..


This is one of the better ones. I believe this was the 2006 ride and yes they shut down the highway and do it every year.

"Squids from a shallow gene pool" maybe?

[Grubber]

So many wankers in such a small place. Has that ever been done before?

Remind me again what SQUIDS stands for?

[Geeen]

Um, I suppose you have to do something to make that road interesting

I don't think it stands for anything, it's more a reference to what they look like after they come off.. pink and red with bits coming out everywhere.

From urban dictionary:


1. Squid
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 alot. Derived from 'squirly kid'


Example of use:

We were suddenly passed by a chromed out R1 and then when we rounded the bend, we saw the squid wrapped around a tree, he'd probably be alive if he was wearing a helmet.



2. Squid

An extremely rare animal with a short lifespan. Usually a new sport bike enthusiast with the reasoning of a lunatic, whom you might see thrashing on an R1 wearing sandals, shorts, and a tee.
When found lying motionless on the pavement, this creature transforms itself into a stream of blood, exposed flesh, and broken limbs. Hence the squid moniker.


Example of use:

Did you see that guy leave the showroom on the R6? Did you see what he was wearing? What a moron. That Squid.
