You aren't very friendly when you ride, are you? :laughing

Squids are squids because of how they ride, not what they're riding or what they're wearing. I've seen plenty of ATTGAT'ers swing wide on turns as well. Oh and I could see his turn signals just fine, especially since the left one was blinking. And I'm sure he couldn't be bothered to dress up like a power ranger just to go to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Why didn't you just split to the front?

 

[Whisky_Richard]

So you're upset because a guy asked you a question, someone turned wide while you turned tight (with a car on the inside lane), and had non-visible signals that were clearly visible in the vid?

It's the through-the-intersection-with-two-feet-off-the-pegs that gets an automatic squid nomination from me.

Squid 1) Wife-beater shirt, no gloves, sneakers.

Squid 2) Feet off pegs, blowing the white line.

Both inexperienced riders or it's what they think is 'cool'.

Yeah, I'd LOVE to ride nekkid, getting that all-over tan, if it wasn't for 1) weather 2) road debris 3) damage to my body when I fall-down-go-boom 4) being pulled over by LEOs for public indecency.

:teeth

While I think that's stupid and unnecessary, I don't think that makes them a squid.

Anybody that has to take their feet off the pegs when they stop is a squid in my book.

I think the word "squid" has been overused somehow. The lack of ability and confidence dont make people squid. The guy just barely put his toe on the ground . Whatever people call me, I would put my both feet on the ground if I feel comfy and secured.

I want vid of you fueling up your bike without putting a foot down. :laughing

 

[Rel]

I'm more concerned that the OP likes to ride in the middle of the lane where all the oil and crap is...

:barf

So now we can add "doesn't do track stands at stoplights" to the definition of what a squid is. Riiiiiiiiiiiight...

 

[Loki1000R]

The first one, maybe...the second one looked ok. Well, other than being a midget

 

[sanjuro]

I can't hear anyone talk when I ride, so expect a head nod and a wave and that's it.

I'm not too worried about missing the white line, but the shorts/tank top is funny.

 

[Rob]

AkatomboRR... you are one of the most painfully boring video posters on BARF.

Please stop wasting bandwith with your videos and judgements... squid.

:rolleyes

 

[Cincinnatus]

BARFer fight... opcorn :laughing

It's the intarwebs, don't sweat it. :thumbup

 

[primo_mike]

gimme back my 3 minutes!!

 

[Abyss]

I see people like that pretty much every time I go out on the bike. Nothing that squidly.

I'm wearing ear plugs... can't hear good :|
