You might be a squid if:
After spending your first week ever on a motorcycle, you decide that a 600 is way too slow, and you get the gsxr 1000...

....If you buy all the gear with the bike and give all the gear to your girlfriend (in the car) while you ride home gearless.

You might be a SQUID if ;
"You have to stop on the shoulder of an ON Ramp to unstrap the helmet from the side of your bike and actually put it on, because obviously Highway riding is so much more dangerous than riding down the street. I stopped with a kid who did this yesterday while cars were zipping by us at 60mph."
ArkRCMan _________________________________________________________________________________ You constantly "throttle tune" your bike at every red light
You have any fake animal fur (zebra, leopard, etc.) covering the plastic on your bike
You didn't know your bike came with a tool kit !
-dklozik _________________________________________________________________________________ - Two words: furred bike
Laura _________________________________________________________________________________ "You ride around with your full face helmet stuck on top of your head in such a way that the chin bar is resting squarely above your eyebrows." Actually saw this one the other day, SQUID on a CBR600F4i, wife beater muscle shirt, cut off jean shorts, sandals, and his helmet was resting on top of his head. Not ON his head and secure, just stuck on top of his pumpkin like it was a hat rack or something. I kept waiting for a good gust of wind to come along and take the helmet off. -Christopher T. Shields _________________________________________________________________________________
You ride in sandals
You bad mouth all "other" brands of bikes (and have never ridden them)
You tell anyone you have gone 160 on the street
Your "racing" jacket is from Wal-Mart.
You think Arai is Jamaican for OK
You don't have a clue what a Buell is
You bought a Sport bike and put saddlebags and a sissy bar on it so you can go to Sturgis.
You keep fouling plugs riding with the choke on
You have Harley stickers on your car and ride a Rebel
Your Mom and Dad won't ride with you
There is a crack in your helmet
You helmet is the wrong size
You ride with ANY safety features on your bike not working
You have a cup holder duct taped to your handlebars. - Jim Griffiss _________________________________________________________________________________
You have a fuel injected bike with DynoJet / Factory Jet kit sticker – Chang H. Chung _________________________________________________________________________________ You install race compound tires yet most of your rides consist of 10 minute jaunts across town in gridlock.
You grind down the feelers under the foot pegs with a bench grinder so people will think you can REALLY corner.
You're 100 lbs. overweight and complain that your bike just can't seem to hold that inside line.
You drive out of state to ride someplace where helmet laws aren't enforced.
Your rear sprocket closely resembles a radial saw blade.
Your brakes let out a spine tingling squeal every time you come to a stop at an intersection
You have all of your "sponsors" decals on your bike and patch

Hmm...I fall into a few of those categories I suppose. Not because I am a "squid" but because I might not be able to afford a 400$ jacket or a 700$ helmet. I love how the motorcycle elitists act like they are any different than any other pretentious snob. I mean I wear leather a heavy Wilson’s my ICON helmet that I got because they were cheap. I suppose when I can afford to but some nice gear then I will earn the right to not get ridiculed or labeled by a Motorcycle elitist. Or maybe when I decide that stunting is the most enjoyable part or riding…..

If you buy an '07 GSX-1000R and after one week of riding you switch the power selector to, "A" because you're used to the bike.
If you put your foot down in a turn because you have a passenger and your bike, "feels funny when you have a passenger."

Kind of seemed like the last SQUID listing above was from an extremely unsatisfied and grumpy person, who wanted nothing more than everyone else on two wheels to be as miserable as he was.
Funny stuff. I guess I'm a SQUID though, since I fit some of the categories.
