It must be spawning season...

#1 Unread post by kabob983 »

Because the SQUIDs are everywhere! I saw one guy on a ZX-10R drag his feet for what must have been 30-40 feet before bringing them up on the pegs when starting out. He was wearing a helmet and a hoodie jacket, no leathers or gloves or anything. Another guy in a Tee Shirt. I was quite happy when I finally saw a guy wearing a leather riding jacket (joe rocket I think).

How do so many stupid people get crammed into such a small area?

I was pleasently surprised when I saw someone else riding a motorcycle by me. I only saw him for a second or two, but it looked to me as if he had a leather jacket on and of course a helmet, didn't have time to see anything else.

The warm weather brought everyone out today. Not only did I see plenty of guys in shorts, tennis shoes and t-shirts but some guy near me is selling another Yamaha Vision at a low low price so that at least made me happy.

nope still snowy here.

I saw a grand total of one squid last time I was out riding. tank top, shorts, and a backwards ballcap riding an R1. this is of course not counting the cruiser crowd. In the interests of not starting a flame war Ill just leave it at this, wyoming is typical of states with no helmet law.

On the same day I saw the squid out on an R1 I also saw another funny sight. A guy riding an R6 in FULL Motocross Gear that was even matched to his bike
