I decided to create a stupid section created for very special (real or unreal) squid stories. Let's see your writting and imagination skillz go to work. I'll start with one since I'm bored to death.


So this kid turns sixteen and for his birthday his dad takes him to the motorcycle shop. Sure enough pops is going to buy him a motorcyce now that he can drive. They started looking at Ninja 250's at first, but the trustworthy salesmen convinced the boy and dad that a Suzuki Hayabusa would be a great starter bike. Go figure there was one for a special price that day. The salesmen even thru in a free powercommander and some Muzzy pipes to add another 20hp to the bike. After the kid got it home he decided to clean it up a bit before taking out for his first ride, that being bike night of course. Mostly he wanted his tires to look good, so he put three coats of "Armour All" on the tires and added some to his seat and grips for shine. Once the boy was finished he hopped on and started towards downtown on his new bike. He hit the first corner and lost it......sliding and rolling down the street. He soon awoke in the hospitol lying in bed, thinking to himself.....thank GOD i had on sandels and a t-shirt or this could have been worse. While stuck in bed for two months with broken bones he ordered a Turbo kit for his Busa and a K&N air filter. The END.

 

I got one!


One day a kid, we'll call him Squidly Jameson, decided to go riding on his new'ish Gsxr 6. He decided to try to show off for some friends, and take his bike for a spin around the block and rip up some power whoolies. Well as Squidly was heading back towards his house, he decided to pass a slow moving 83 Caddy Brougham. As he passed, the Caddy made a right hand turn, striking Squidly and sending him flying into a white picket fence.

 

I may be drunk but that sounds like Flip.

 

Its not flip, Jarsh said the name was Squidly Jameson!!

 

Oh damn, I've got some stories but no time right now. I'll have to hope back on here when I get drunk. It'll make for good posting.

 

Here's a good one 100%true I swear-

Last spring I ran into this younger fella (18-19 I guess) who expressed an interest in riding. He had saved for a few months so he could afford a down payment, but kept getting turned down on bike loans from the local dealerships. On his way to work one day he spotted a clean early 90's suzuki rf900 sitting right out in front of RPM auto sales here in Clio. He stopped in, forked over his life savings, and in a few hours they had him "approved" on a loan for this fine machine that wasn't worth the money he gave them for the down payment. Let me remind you that this was his first bike-zero riding experience, no registration, no insurance. His dream of owning a motorcycle was finally realized when he signed the paperwork and the keys were handed over. He was gonna take it on a nice long ride through the twisties to get a feel for the bike, but instead he only made it a few blocks before he wrecked it bad at the corner of vienna/clio rd. Cops show up and write $500 in tickets, impound his bike, and old boy ends up taking the ride of shame in the back of an ambulance.

Funny thing is he ended up fixing the bike and still rides it to this day.(although it has a really bad cooling system problem and can only ride it for 10 minutes at a time before it overheats)

Ran into him the other day at the gas station (saw a cloud of antifreeze steam about 1/2 mile away I knew it was him). I told him he'd be better off letting RPM repo the pos and start saving for another but he said
"I couldn't do that. I love that bike!!"

 

One of my non-riding friends was thinking about getting a bike, he asked me what he should get, with one stipulation, it had to look fast, but not be fast.... There is a new market for the japanese bike makers to target..

 

Tell him to buy a 1000 series bike and only use 1st gear.

 

They already have one thats close........Katana.

 

The kan-a-tuna is the hotness all around! Ok squiddy stories and interestingly enough this one involves a tuna...

So my friend purchased a brand new 2001 Katana as his first bike. It was the only thing he could get with no credit and whatnot. It didnt matter cause at the time he didnt know any better anyway. So one night we were riding downtown through the club district and for some reason he feels compelled to sit on the tank for a bit. So he does and he ends up hitting a pot hole, loosing all stability, swerving, and slamming right into the back of a parked truck. Ironically enough one of our friends happened to be in the same area with his big blue pedophile van. We ended up shoving the entire ****ed up bike into the back of the van with as much plastic and spare parts we could find strewn about, and driving off just as the fire truck and ambulance came around the corner. I stayed and had to talk to the po-po and explain how I "happened" upon the accident and stopped to help, whereupon the crashed rider took off. The best part was that there had to be a crowd of at least 200 ppl around since there were like 5 clubs within a block. AND no one disputed my claims.

 

 

The best part of the story is the tuna got turned into a "stunt bike" Geared 1 down 5 up, and you still couldnt wheelie in first even with reving the **** outta it and dumping the clutch. Did I mention he rode it all ghetto style with bent to sh it forks for more than 8 months?

 

ok this was me
Got me brand new 2 fidy with no riding experience been riding for 3 days when my mate decided he'd take me for a ride through the twisties.. smashed the **** out of my brand new bike redlineing it at 160kms down the highway.. thaught i was hot ****.. the next day went to the rta to upgrade my car licence (lost it speeding in my car on my way to get the loan for me bike) where my mate who had been riding for about a month met me.. jumped on me bike and tried to "hang" of it going around a corner at 30kms not even looking around the corner... peg hits swervs one way then flicks back the other throwing me half off the bike then hits the gutter and the bike slides along with me under it:YEAH

pick it up bent the leavers back in place and rode home with a very brused ego

 

I got one..

So this dude on his 02' 929RR decides to go see his buddy after his vacation. He has been trying to do standups for sometime now and hasnt gotten very far. He decides he is read to pull one up at center and davison roads. He gets it up and then over at about 70mph.. breaking his leg.

Opps.. wait nevermind that dude is a stud.

 

 

Does every new squid buy a Katana, It must be a magnet for newbies or something. I remember first getting into sportbikes and thinking about getting one, thank Goodness I escaped that one.

 

For some odd reason newbs and cheds love the tuna!? My first bike was a '98 zx7 it was such a piece but at least it wasnt a tuna... If I had ever got one before I knew what I know now, I would have chopped my nuts off.

 

story: Me and mike were at this light and there was party..so i told him to race me to show off for a block..he says yeah so start revin our quiet stock mufflers... vroom vroom..or rather...buzz buzzz


so the light turns green and we rev up to about 4000 let the clutch go and we both lurched forward about 3 feet and stalled...

the lurch was enough to send me tea baggin the gastank.. so now we got the toga party people lookin..mike laughin..and i have to sit in the headlights of the people behind leanin over my tank till my voice came back..

the we drove off..buuuzzzzz gooooooood timez!!

2 weeks 1300 miles!!

 

p.s. hey i'm new and knew better than a katana....beer goggles suk...it's never good..at the bar or shoppin for bikes!!

 

Where were you Friday? Should have come out for the ride.
