Default The Squid Bragart Thread / Squid Stories

Well Because the Squid Image Thread has entertained me for so long I Think that we need a thread where Squids can brag about there Wheelies, Stoppies run ins with the law etc. Also if your not a Squid or dont ride you can put forth your squid run ins.

Keep in mind that anything posted here will be judged at the mercy of the HT hanging jury.

Let it begin!

4. Sans gloves

here's a thread from the myspace forums where i'm trying to help a brotha out. he's not fucked up completely, just has some strange notions about racing...

------------------------
i currently own 2 bikes i got a 2002 ZX9R and i just got the new 2006 ZX10R. i wanna start track racing but have no idea where to start. i been stuntin for about a year now and i been riding for about three. since i already have these bikes and some experience where should i start? i dont wanna take my ZX10 on the track. its just way to much power for a begginer.
----------------------------

you want to RACE? as in, get a trophy and race against other people? or you want to do trackdays?

racing: http://forums.13x.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12
trackdays: http://sportbiketracktime.com/

racing will cost you money. racing literbikes will cost you 30K up front, and probably another 10k per year of racing, if not more. you'll also be much more exposed to crashing and getting hurt, because motorcycle racing is vicious--especially in the 600cc I4 and 1000cc I4 classes.

trackdays, you can take your own bike out there and ride america's great tracks. it's cheaper, and it's tons of fun.

what you need:
proper lid
leathers
boots
gloves
back protector

read the FAQ at sportbiketracktime.
--------------------------
well what do you mean it would cost me 30k? like what would that 30k go into? cause i mean i got 2 great track bikes and i know fallin sucks i been down 3 times but not at high speeds. i been down while i was stuntin. but not doin like a 150 on a track. im dying to get the feel of it. i love hittin the parkways and duckin into the curves doin like 120 its fun as hell. i really do think i have what it takes to do good on the tracks. i could be wrong but theres only one way to find out. on the local tracksthey have races right? where could i win some money so i could start working out my 900?
--------------------------------

a competitive 1000cc race bike would cost you 30,000 dollars to build. the 30k goes into the cost of the bike, a motor build, dyno tuning, suspension and suspension tuning, tires, wheels, rearsets, dampers, the whole 9 yards. Racing is not cheap, and there's no way you're going to make any money racing through race winning until your name is nicky hayden.

it sounds like you're looking to do some trackdays. don't worry about the racing for now. check out sportbiketracktime.com and read their FAQ.

and stop riding 120 mph on the streets. you're gonna get yourself killed.

Wow... to many stories to little time for me. let me pick one.


I once had judo to toss my Z1R to the ground because the burnout I was doing through a strip mall parking lot got all tweaked and I was heading straight for a parked 930 Porsche's driver side door. I never hit the ground myself but my poor bike did... Nothing like straddling over your fallen comrade, the engine is screaming at 8K rpms, and the local stores all empty out to teh parking lot to see some ******* kid inches away from some poor smucks $$$ car

This thread was much more accepted than I thought it would be

I once wheelied past a soccer mom in a minivan on accident because she was doing 10 under the speed limit. One the no-passing zone ended, I cracked it open and the front end just lifted way up as I flew passed the driver side window. I probably scared the **** outta here

My story:
The old service manager where I work was telling me how he likes to drink and head out to some local twisties. (1st sign he's an idiot). He tells me how last night he's with a buddy at Applebee's and after a couple of Brewtus Coors Light (2nd sign he's an idiot) they go out to Hwy 28 (nice twisty road in farm country) and in five minutes of fast riding he can feel his chicken strips go away (third sign he's an idiot). So he keeps riding and at buck twenty-five and he feels his tire almost down to the metal cords (fourth sign he's an idiot), so they go home. After the conversation ends with my jaw dropped (at the sheer amount of stupitidy coming out his mouth) I go out and look at his bike. His Pirelli High Mileage rear tire has nary a cord hanging out with deep, fresh chicken strips.

This is why, friends, you do not drink and ride. It will cause you to think you ride like Rossi and tell tall tales.

I light my farts while riding, just for that cool flame thrower effect. Chicks dig it.
