I used to squid around on a Yamaha Nitro (Aerox for some countries) scooter. No gear, just a helmet..not even gloves!

One day on my way back from having the exhaust fixed, I took a fall and got really nasty road rash! My hand was full of cuts and my whole arm was one big road rash, also tore some ligaments in my forearm and shoulder.. I had to learn the hard way.. :dundun:

 

Bunch of pros on this board - no one else ever squid'd?

 

My squid moments a few years ago... T-shirt, basketball shorts, and flippy floppies

 

Wrecked my bike in a freshly sealed parking lot trying to show off for some girls.

Hurt my wrist pretty bad from the violent tankslapper the bike went into before going down, and taught me an invaluable lesson about the consequences of acting like a jackass.

 

Hailwood - did you hit a piece of tar and go down?

Babymilo36 - that's excellent SquidWear! Nothing says "125mph on the highway" like basketball shorts! LOL thanks for sharing!

 

The lot had just been sealed, and I think it was probably still a little oily from that. My tires were also cold (and aweful tires) which I think was also a contributor.

Those are just backdrops to me choosing to act like a dumbass though.

 

I was born pro...:dunno

 

I once rode a gsxr…











The End.

 

:2bitchsla

Not sure I had a "moment" but there was a short period of time where I rode with a t-shirt, jeans, and steel toe boots. Only "gear" was some shitty gloves and my helmet.

 

Something like this?

 

lol!

 

So I was riding my 2000 R1, riding to the mall to have lunch with my sister. Get into the parking lot and I see 2 hot girls walking out of the mall. So I decide to show them my mad wheelie skillz... I grab the clutch, rev her up, let the clutch out and up and up and up and up she goes all the way over. I didn't even look at the girls as I was just soooo embarrassed with myself. :shake

That's MY squid moment!

 

I thought yours had something to do with breaking a guys ankle with your frame slider sideswiping him :crash

 

Tshirt and shorts, weaving through traffic my brand new to me crossplane that I wasn't even licensed for yet :shake

 

only squid moment about 15years ago,

At the starting gate,full throttle 2nd gear but forgot to put the front forks into the anti wheelie lock.

Gate drops, bike made a looping in the air.

that was my only squid moment from that moment on, it all went hardcore.

 

Back in 04, on my zx10r...pulled out of my employers parking lot, noticed some ladies eyeballin me, showing off & thinking I was a badass, I let clutch out with to much throttle & damn near looped it. :icon_eek::icon_eek:



Embarrassed & about to shit my pants, rode straight home, parked & curled up on the couch like a little bitch.

 

This made me laugh for about, no i'm still laughing

 

When I go to the beach, its hot and I ride with just shorts, shirt and helmet.

 

A very new YZF1000, a front disc lock, a new slip-on exhaust, a parking lot on the beach in Carlsbad, and a pack of hot chicks about 100' away.

I fired the bike up, did some throttle-blipping, put it in gear and made it about 2 feet when I fell over on the left side. I made no effort to get out of the way of the falling bike because I didn't want to fawk up the plastics. :lol

Worst part, some older lady runs up to me screaming "OMG!!!! Are you alright"!?!?!!?!??! :shake

I got up, picked the bike up, took the lock off, and got the fawk out of there without making eye contact with anyone. SO got damn embarrassed.

 

You got that old bags number didn't you? I bet you like drinking that spoiled wine :ugh

 

I'm sensing a running theme here. Newbie + Bike * x amount of chicks = full on derp

 

 

ok here it goes
am 16 and riding bitch (i can't believe am admitting this)
we are cruising and the babes were looking
am not holding on to any thing just being a bad ass :lol
my friend had to brake really hard to avoid hitting the car in front of us.
the breaking force stood me up on the pegs so hard the only thing i could catch was his fawking neck. am laughing so hard :lol
the chicks were cracking up.
embarrassing

 

LOL! Now wait a second, you were riding "bitch" to go pick up chicks? For sure blame that on being 16 years old! That's usually when we have lost any sort of sensibility and decency in our lives in the desperate chance of attracting a girl... That's a funny one - if only you had that on video!

 

dude am still laughing at my self on that one.
i think i hid that one deep deep in the back of my brain :lol
no vid, unfortunately for you guys and fortunately for me.

just think mid eighties :lol

 

Mid eighties? That makes it so much better... what model bike was it?

I can picture New Wave hair, upturned collars and Miami Vice facial scruff riding 2up on a Honda CBR. LOL!

 

every time before track day. after getting bike prepped i'll ride around corner to get gas, maybe a mile round trip. in whatever i'm wearing, generally shorts, tshirt, and crocs or something similar. i imagine it looks pretty ridiculous.

 

eighties

nah
i had long hair, in good shape. at the gym 4 days out of the week
just the fact that we were two up was gay :lol
it was a honda 750

 

not really a squid moment but embarrasing moment.
first motorcycle. vstar 650 silverado. going down the road, pass a school bus, come to a stop sign so come to a stop...put my foot down.....pothole....dropped the bike right as the school bus drove passed me

 

I'm thinking and thinking but I can't come up with one. Since the day I bought my first bike bake in 2008 till now, I've always worn my gear. Shit, actually I just though of something. Back in 2012, I lost a good buddy of mine in Afghanistan so I made it a point to go out to the funeral. Well, on my way back from the dry cleaners, my fuel pump took a shit. So, I weighed my options and came to the conclusion that is wasn't going to miss his service so I jumped on my bike, mind you, I'm in my dress blues and ride 2 hours down the road for the funeral. To put it into perspective of how good of a friend he was to me, we want to high school, basic and AIT together and got together as often as we could. He was like a brother to me. That's my story

That's a tough story. Good for you for making the funeral, I'm sure it was a real comfort for your friend's family to have you there.
