A couple of us here took it at lunchtime with a more relaxed frame of mind, the results:
Your grade was 19 ...
Your score indicates that you are an imbecile of epic proportion and a danger to everyone and everything nearby. Your test answers seem a bit skewed however. Are you sure you properly answered ALL the questions on the form?


heh heh heh, I can see that phrase becomming a bumper sticker, "an imbecile of epic proportions".

>>>>>>>Explain to me in a logical sense why you have to wheelie or stoppie on a motorcycle in order to have fun, Rocket, and maybe I'll begin to see your point.

Just because Buells are good at both doesn't make it necessary to do either in order to have fun - they are only necessary to impress those with IQs that have to be multiplied more than ten times to equal the displacement of their bike's engine.

Those that can do, those that can't dream LOL

obviously if you don't like Wheelies or Stoppies that is your perogative... But trashing others just cause they like to do them...

I just think that if the ability isn't there in life.. if it is wheeling, or anything else, you will want to disscredit those that can.. hence the quote.

Stoppie if you want to stoppie, Wheelie if you want to Wheelie, but enjoy the ride, and ride safe. Don't ride to impress, or cause you think it is cool.. like most squids do....

ENJOY THE RIDE!!

Enough! Enough! I am from Michigan, you know Red Wings Hockey and all that. Haven't any of you guys seen what happens when a Squid(calamari)(octopus) gets thrown out on the ice? It looks just like the guy that just finished riding way beyond his abilities. Legs and arms flopping around at interesting angles never thought possible on a human. I recently had this same discussion with my 17 year old son about riding his Buell Blast:
"Son I don't want you to grow up and be a Squid",
"Dad, whats a Squid?"
"Well son, Blah, blah, blah",
"OK dad",
"Great son, I'll be proud of you"
You see, a Squid is something you do, not something you are, sort of like making a snow angel. Now does it make sense? Don't go make a Squid out of yourself!
Any other questions? Happy Holidays!

So far, 5654 people (including you) have responded to this Squid Test Survey and have been tabulated. Of those responses, the average grade is 51. Your grade was 49 (from 0 to 100), and 0 out of the 115 questions were left un-answered. The average number of questions answered in this test is 47.

A higher grade indicates a stronger sense of common decency, and a lower grade is an indication of conspicuous squidliness and general disregard for civilized society. Your score indicates that you are a pathetic example of incredible stupidity who shouldn't be let out of the house unsupervised

A 49?? I was hoping to get it a bit lower:D

What about people on old choppers that wear leathers and no helmet? Are they squids?

I ride with two guys that do this and have built their bikes from the ground up. One will hit about 105, the other about 80 at the MAX (It's a Triumph TR6). Both are hardtails. They tell ME that I have a DEATHWISH for buying a bike that does 140. I wear a helmet and leathers. I asked both of them to run down to the end of the driveway as fast as they can, When they get to the pavement, take a dive. Neither of them would. I don't get it.

I never took the test. What's the point? I know what I like from a bike and I know how to behave on one. Some days of the week I might do something completely stupid (like most of us)whilst riding - but stupid in whose eyes? What really is stupid?

Common sense should prevail but that shouldn't impede stunting. We're all aware of our own talents and limitations and it's when one steps outside of these parameters that stupid takes over otherwise nothing should stop the chic posing on a Blade wearing a thong if she's capable of doing so which she certainly is - the picture itself proves that.

In any case the chic on the Blade would be beaten hands down in the stupid stakes by those many guys and girls in the south of France who ride for hours on end day in day out on anything from 50cc Gileras to Hayabusa's wearing nothing but T shirt shorts and flip-flops whilst navigating the awesome coastal twisties between St Tropez and Monaco during the summer months. I know, I've seen 'em with my own eyes and you know what - no one flutters an eye lid - it's a common activity not frowned upon by anyone really, not even law enforcement.

So someone point out to me that the chic riding a Blade with only a thong on her lower half is stupid and I'd say you've lost your sense of humour. Obviously she doesn't ride a Blade dressed like that all the time but more she probably posed for that shot for no more than a minute or so. Cracking job on her part if you ask me and pardon the pun.

Wyked I'm not flaming you at all nor anyone for that matter but I'm sick of hearing those politically correct comments which is why I said what I said. I mean it's not like any of us need telling to wear the right gear or ride sensibly. Fuck that I make my own choices and no one need tell me who's fault it is when I'm gravel rashed from binning it and leaving the back protector at home for the cat to sit on.

No one doubts the integrity of riding safe but the BadWeB is supposed to be fun too and your pic represented that well.

Simply - just another point of view.

Speaking of stunting, has anyone seen the Marzocchi front fork, which will allow MX Freestylers to do complete bar spins? The next level of stunting is upon us.

Yes Bill my opening line was kinda serious <grin> wasn't it. In truth I didn't take the test because I needed to insert my own answers <cheat then> - thus my score wouldn't work next to yours

Rocket...I read the test and did the LMAO thing. "None of the above" would have been the correct answer for most of the questions.

Hey, now don't go bustin' Wycked about safety apparel. Somewhere on the board, he admitted to not wearing gloves and that is your first line of defense. LOL
