Welcome to Squidville!

I saw something Sunday that you rarely see from a BMW rider. This guy (Squid) was on a BMW with shorts, short sleeve shirt, and flip flops, no helmet. On top of that he was driving like a mad man.

 

maybe i'm just getting too old, but why would someone take such a risk of wrecking a perfectly good bike.i personally don't see the thrill of doing a wheelie on one of these. ahh.. i am getting old

 

Stuka:

I watched that video a couple times and I'm still not sure what happened. That didn't look like a particularly challenging turn

I think "turn" would be the important part. Those gentle leans 'll get ya every time.

 

Good point Sam, slow steering input with some target fixation!

Still, based upon what I could see, not a particularly challenging turn.

Gotta feel a little sorry for the squid in this vid, not only does he look a fool he sounds it next to the Cruser Riders.

First, how does one just lose control of the clutch?
Second, what the hell is he riding? A streched Ninja 250?
Third, what a little girl!

 

dig those loafers and ankle sox. That guy needs to ride without a shirt more often. he is seriously in need of a tan.

 

You've got to watch this. This will make you want to wear a helmet for sure. Listen when he makes contact with the ground.......

the bike hitting the pole makes me ill everytime I hear/see it. It smacks so hard you just know it is bent to the frame. Screw the rider, that's what he gets.
There is a video after that one where a dumbass wearing jeans and a t shirt jumps his bike clear over a foam pit and munches himself and his bike. ass

 

Today on the way home from the MSF range, I saw a total ragged out POS CBR with two GUYS on it. Both were wearing the $4.82 soup-bowl-with-a-chinstrap helmet, shorts, t shirts & sneakers.

I wonder what's worse?

1) The alarming lack of PPE.

2) The shocking violation of Man Law.


This is still the most asinine thing I've ever seen involving a motorcycle.

For listening to his mate saying " you can go twice as fast " makes him a dope of the highest order.

 

I don't know, the guy on the bike is the dumber of the two I think. Both should be honorable mentions for the Darwin Awards.

Holly F%&k man. Some people at work think I am insane for riding to and from work in below freezing temperatures. A couple of them ride dirt devils. From time to time I get caught in unexpected snow so I have to nurse the bike into the shop and usually spend the night in a hotel. But after seeing some of these squid vids, I am convinced I am one of the most sane people out there. And quite frankly, that is a scary thought. Airplanes fly, Helicopters fly, even pieces of paper on a long string fly. Bikes have two tires intended to stay on the ground. The only time two wheels were supposed to leave the ground was when the Wright Bothers intended them to.

My rant of the day. I feel for the bikes though!
