I am not calling them squids because of their lack of ability I am calling them squid for practicing on a ramp in the first place. There is no excuse there are tons of trackdays. This kind of foolishness is the reason I get so many wrecks a year. You are learning bad technique in a dangerous setting generally from a person with questionable skills all the while pissing off the general public more and more. Well done, squid.Originally Posted by R6RiderTO
whos that guy doing a wheelie in the very beginning?
Just to play devil's advocate on your post Kneedragger track days are expensive considering a suit alone is 800+ plus the bike needs to be prepped which costs even more money. So for most people wanting to cheat the system ramps would be a perfect opportunity.
A used suit can be had for $100 or less if you are willing to take something that has been down once but still useable.
In fact I will give my rashed old Dianese suit to anyone that wants to run in SOAR next season but dosn't have the funds for a suit. You just need to get it cleaned and maybe get John Bickle to look a seam to make sure it is ok.
I even have some old nexo boots I will throw in .... but you better run in SOAR.. I assume anyone reading this has a helmet and gloves already.
Prepping a bike for a trackday is silly.
Run water drain coolant. That takes 5 minutes.
See you next year in SOAR.

This is my last post on this. This is exactly the "squidly" response you get from the people who would do this.
Risking your backside on or off the track without a suit is stupid. Prepping entails some duck tape and water. One lowside or ticket will even the costs for a trackday.
You are not "cheating" anything and this is far from perfect. A ramp covered is crap surrounded by a steel gaurdrail. Cops, roadkill, gravel, liquids, armco, signs. lightposts, curbs etc..........
Not to mention people wonder why the general public hates bikes. THIS IS WHY.
Hey Fawaz how about donating your gear to the SORE two up rides?
Done!
I will bring them to the show.
I know SORE was a spelling mistake but it made for a funny visual. Thanks

Weren't you telling people that trackdays were unobtainium a couple posts ago.
If you don't know, why would make any sort of comment at all??
Do you make suggestions or recommendations on brain surgery forums too?
I was simply playing devil's advocate wondering what happens if people don't have the type of funds to buy a track specific bike and required equipment to participate.
In my experience with the devil, he is normally very well informed.
fair enough.
Does Mom know all about this? Wait 'til Dad finds out.
flawless victory
that guy actually made another one wheel pass going the other direction just before we started taping - i think he wanted to play. he was on a VFR.whos that guy doing a wheelie in the very beginning?
you wouldnt keep up.
you wouldnt keep up.
Probably not, I do my best to follow the speed limits unlike most squids.

so if I named the video 'n00b trying to get his ride on' or something along those lines would this thread have gone in a different direction?
Can't speak for others, but I wouldn't be nearly as harsh in my criticism. If I even bothered to check it out, that is.
