I wear full gear almost all the time...but I am not a wanna be racer. I wear my leathers, gloves and boots everytime I go into the canyons as a measure of safety. On the street I may replace the leather pants with jeans, but the boots, etc are still there, and then only for short trips. I really feel naked and vulnerable now without my gear, I am so used to wearing it! lol
I have done some trackdays, 3 actually, but I stay in the beginner group and just have fun with friends. Trying to get CB out to one soon! It is more the atmosphere and hanging with friends, BBQing, etc that I go for. A few of us may hang together if we are about the same speed, but we rarely pass eachother...just go through the turns together and have fun!
I will never race. I just don't have the nerve needed for that kinda crazy stuff, plus I am too old now....I know its gonna hurt if I fall, and I don't bounce so well anymore!
They are the guys who...
Pass on a Double Yellow Blind Curve Or Rise.
Hit their Riding Buds Kill Switch at an intersection just before the light turns green.
Pull 12 O'clocker's on "Main Street"
Do 3 Alarm Burnouts just before leaving the local bike night burger joint...with an officer parked in the adjacent lot.
Blast the straights at WOT redline in lower gears then get off and walk their bike around the curve.
Demonstrate to everyone at bike night that their motorcycle does in fact have a rev limiter...2 seconds after firing up their completely cooled down engine.
Chop their friends lines on group rides.
Call other experienced riders who DO show good judgement...."slow".
Don't truely enjoy motorcycling unless they're traveling in..."Schools".
Put aftermarket wingnut thumbscrews on their front fork pre-load adjusters.
Think "Trail Braking" is: eating a granola bar in a national forest.
They NEVER lost a race to anyone at anytime.
Can't understand why any motorcycle manufacturer would even bother wasting their time, money and energy making motorcycles OTHER THAN...the wonderful one they own.
Count on their printed out dyno-charts to win and end races before they actually ever race.
That's about all off the top of my head...for now.

“Squidâ€
Definition: Have you seen a motorcycle rider who does not wear protective clothing, darts into and out of traffic at high speed, seems to need some motorcycle training and, in general, acts like he/she doesn't know what they're doing?...or even worse..DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING (New Rider). You've seen a Squid.
As an acronym.... a few examples are "SQUirrely kID," "Stupid, QUick, and Inadequately Dressed," or "Super QUick, Inadequately Dressed."

I love it when a Squid is riding with the helmet straped to the side of the bike..
Could be wrong, maybe they can get the helmet on in the event of a water landing

Well to my amazzzzment I can now say that I know what SQUID is, and what is even more unbelievable is that I see this around here all the time.
Where I live there are all kind of sport bikes mostly in the 600 750 class range I'am one of the only ones around with a busa I have seen one other and I've been told that there are 2 others but I dont know I do know that I see people riding around all the time without gear and yes just the other day I saw a rider with a tank top shorts and tennis shoes on. He was riding a red sportbike but I could'nt tell what at any rate one of the first things I did after getting my bike was buy all the riding gear to go with it its all intersport stuff I never had gear before but then my last bike was a full dress goldwing so I always thought just a helmet was enough.
Boy was I wrong we go riding all the time and I always wear my stuff track raceing here is a mute point we have only one spot that I know of and that is at midohio and the only allow "non pro" riders on the track 2 times a year as far as I know in time I will find some other spots close buy that we can go to until then we street it on all the country roads around here and that can be alot of fun lots of twisty spots to play on and some of our straight roads are way long, but it still would be fun to get on a road course to hone my skills:blush:
Besides that MR. LAWMAN is always out there just waiting to write a ticket for someone doing 135 M.P.H. over the speed limit
