Women, who do you think you are

[Ytry2]

*Pushes soapbox into the center of the room and proceeds to stand on it. *

Women, what in gawds green earth makes you think that if you can bang 5/6 up and 1 down while upright on 2, that any guy that approaches you is only doing so to get the numbers to hook up later? Here I have something for you, here is a spoon so that you can eat my ass!

Get this, I head out during lunch to get my bikes race numbers for the SMRI race #2 this weekend and I stop for some fuel. While I am letting my trusty 1k treat herself to some fine 91, a woman on a CBR600rr pulls up to the pump behind me. She arrives in all her “ hey look at me I am girl” splendor adorn in a nice Joe Rocket jacket and gloves. However miss smarty pants has no skid lid so that everyone can see that she is a chick… First clue…ATTENTION WHORE!
I walk in and pay for my fuel and walk over to my bike to grab a flyer for the SMRI street riders track day that will be held on 6/5. *Yes I keep them in my bike, and yes I give them to everyone on 2 wheels* I turn to approach her and we make eye contact just before they begin to roll back in her head. As I get closer to her I say, “Hi, I thought I would give you” she then interrupts and say’s “I don’t need another phone number.” This pissed me off… so in my normal, charming, and smartass way I say, “first off, I have a wife that could ride circles around you. Secondly, your not as HOT as you think you are. I was simply giving you a flier for a local track day, however you can use it to fill the void left in your ass once you remove your head from it.” At that point she proclaimed some babble that was completely incoherent to me as I strapped my brain bucket on and rode away…

Just because you have baby feeders, a cock-cozy and know how to ride a bike does not mean everyone wants you… MAN, some day women will learn to look past their nipples, till then GO MAKE ME A PIE!

I will step off my soapbox now.

Sorry had to get that off my chest

Hey dude try 87 in that steed of yours. It will run better. ;) Don't need 91 at your elevation.

No, actually, unless they are truly heinous, everyone usually does want them :). And it is usually *me* that has trouble looking past their nipple :lol:. And I am old and married, so I should know better. Mmmmm, pie

There are a couple girls who I've seen ride around Aurora with upside-down visors to hold their hair in. :roll:

[Vance]

That has got to be some of the funniest crap I've read in a long time Ytry. Especially now that I'm single and would, as a factor within their (having a) personality, prefer to meet a woman who actually is a rider rather than wanting to just be a poser riding biatch... this is one comedic twist on that concept. :lol:

Oh this is so awesome.. course, being single and all I would have been looking at her nipples and the only reason I would have offered her the flyer was for a glimpse at forementioned radio dials..

I will say this though... I am apparently lucky enough to get an exceptional looking woman to be interested in me from time to time.. I have found however, that exceptional looking women have major issues as they are persued so hard over the years that they are like freakin' deer in headlights even once they agree to hang out with you.. its like they think your agenda is to cornhole them and thats it... whatever... I'm spending my time with the average girl these days.. they only seem to be mildly messed up. :lol:

Hang in there Bro... I bet you have a great wife to go home to..

Oh well, maybe all the phone number these hot chics on bikes get will pad their asses when they fall off.
I don't think it is all girls though...I sure as hell never really got numbers or that much attention when I was out riding all the time!

hmmm...... So is that all you have to do in Albuquerque to get a guys phone number ??? :idea: I wonder if that will work here because I never get any phone numbers ??? :cry: ...ohhh... prolly cuz I wear my "skid lid" and people think I'm a dood :dunno: :lol:

So .... where my gurls at ??? Let's roll out some night and see how many numbers we can get :boobies: Who's in ???? :D

Ytry2 your response was classic !!! :spit: :pointlaugh:

I get more perverted guys blowing kisses and being all nasty to me then phone numbers, I wonder if its because I flip them off :321: when they start doing that :idea:

[Sully]

ewwwww..... :shock: Last night I had this ding dong ask me if I wanted to race him.. uh hello.. rush hour traffic and he's driving an old Toyota camry ??? I guess we can all dream, right ? :roll: Not worth losing my license over... at least he wasn't... :lol:

I do remember one guy taking Amazzon's and my picture with his camera phone ... :dunno:.. not sure what that was about ???? :?

[AshliRider44]

I went riding with a few guy friends last year and these dudes in a big ass truck pulled up next to us and screamed at us that guys who ride bikes do so because they have small ummm ya know... and I always thought that was what people said about guys who drove big trucks :lol: But my favorite line is when guys ask for a ride from me, can you say MAN-GINA?!?! :D :321:

lol, I don't ride with my seat on anymore cuz I have had people, guys included, just get on at lights and shit. Last guy that did that I left sitting on his ass in the intersection :lol:
My fav line was also the ever classic "is that your bike?". I usually responded with no, it was my grandmas. Or that I stole it and had no idea how to ride it.
Had a car full of little boys all waving and hooting at me on the way home last night...they seemed quite perturbed that I could not wheelie for them.

[Dysco]

oooh! "Do a pop-a-wheelie" is my FAVORITE. I always oblige. :D

So went riding through the springs to go to lunch/Dinner on Saturday...look over at the gas station as we are sitting at the stop light and see about 8-10 squids and semi squids getting gas. And one girl on a blue Honda (I think) who was DESPERATELY seeking attention in her tank top. Even like leaning over, and asking the guys to look at things on her body or bike, like I could totally imagine her saying "oh, I think a rock hit me right here, right on my boob...do you see anything? look closer, did it leave a mark?". Like she was just oh so cool or something. As Christine and I roll by in full gear...me in black jacket and riding pants, black helmet with a tinted visor, black boots, black gloves....aside from the purple on the bike, you would probably never known I was even a girl!

you mean WOULD not.....whenever someone makes "the wheelie gesture" i always just shake my head no, as if to say..."silly pilgrims".

i think people who don't ride think wheelieing a motorcycle is easy and you should be able to rip one right in front of the king soopers entrance (the most recent request i have had)...ya know...cause that would be safe, right.....(of course not).

Just stick around the world of sportbiking for a good while. You'll learn your own definition eventually, and it may just change a few times, along the way.

Yeah i know but my 18 hour days kind of wear me out for standing in line for tags. And i'm still kinda new to this forum too, and this is the only place where i heard of squids and cagers.. so squids are guys on bikes w/ no protective gear looking for loose chicks and cagers are people inm cars right? @ least thats what i've been seeing so far.

RE: SQUID

From about.com:

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? You've seen a Squid.
No one is quite sure where this term came from. It is a naval term for a young sailor. It may be an acronym. Some examples are "SQUirrely kID," "Stupid, QUick, and Inevitably Dead," or "Super QUick, Inadequately Dressed."

[McVaaahhh]

My Def:

A squid is a guy who rides a sportbike and not only doesn't wear gear, but straps his helmet to the side of the bike instead of on his head. (Shoei frame slider)

I especially laugh at the guys in full gear, except a helmet. I saw one guy a couple weeks ago in a racing suit complete with knee pucks, but no helmet. :squid:

Saw the King Squid down in the Springs on Saturday...

Blue R1... POLISHED (and I mean FRESHLY) frame, swingarm, rims,... bling bling Icon jacket, doubly blinged matching Ti Max gloves, Tommy Hilfargagnugen jeans, $500 fresh out of the box Nikes (no sports-oriented shoes should look that clean), overkill Euro-sunglasses, NO HELMET... but... TWO top of the line full bling paint-job Arai helmets --- one on each side of the tail. That's over $1000 in frame sliders alone!

Now THAT was squidly beyond squid.

Calamari anyone?

[Anonymous]

Nice story, TC! :lol: I'm glad I took the time to read this! :D

[RAGrote]

Funny story man....

A squid, however, is not defined by what "it" wears or doesn't wear. Squids tend to wear less than what we would consider "normal".
Squids know how to go fast in a straight line but lose their spine (like a squid) when the road turns - in any way, shape or fashion.

Posers may be squids, and vis versa but not neccesarily.

Good riders can be posers but can't be squids. I.e. - insert bike brand here - matching leathers, gloves, boots, helmet... Nothing wrong with a little functional BLING as long as they have the goods to back it up!! Bling without ability is just posin...

Mostly I don't consider those who ride without helmets or in shorts, wifebeaters and tennis shoes to be squids...although they MAY be. (probably are) They're (in my book) just too stupid to know any better.

Girls who can ride???? Hmm... I'm not going to TOUCH that.

[Keyser Soze]

Don't know who she is... so obviously she's not hanging with the "boys".

Kudos to her though... I'd like to get matching equipment and see how much faster than me she is.

Of course if I had THAT equipment I'd never leave the couch!!! :oops: :D

[Keyser Soze]

She's obviously good enough to get put on that kind of equipment. Not talkin trash...but if you were as good...wouldn't you be put on the kind of equipment?

[Gallep]

Thats funny stuff about arai frame sliders :lol:

[Hoopty]

She (Jessica Zalusky) was running close to my times at PPIR. So in other words, YES, she can ride, but no, she's not on par with the other guys running AMA, especially not the front runners. I think she was running about 1:02's, maybe 1:01's. The fast guys were doing 54's and 55's.

[RAGrote]

She's obviously good enough to get put on that kind of equipment. Not talkin trash...but if you were as good...wouldn't you be put on the kind of equipment?

Only if my inclination was to sacrifice all to this particular end.
I would never pretend to say I'm as fast as her.... or EVER even close.

Again...kudos for her and her sacrifices.

Do you think we'll ever see her (or any woman) on the podium? Of even close?

I don't want to piss off every woman in the world but there has to be an acceptance that the chasm between men's testosterone driven competitive driving ability and women's ability is pretty large and at the world/AMA level the woman that can run with today's front runners hasn't been identified yet.

Faster than me? That's no accomplishment... you'd get more satifaction out of tearin up the ol' doood in the motor driven wheel chair. :D

Thread hijack noted.... :oops: Sorry.

To be precise, she qualified with a 1:01.546 and turned mostly 1:01's through the race, with a few 1:02's:
Jessica Zalusky's PPIR Formula Xtreme results (http://home.ama-cycle.org/prorace/raceres/rr/indtime.asp?cls=fe&snct=p7235&type=f&rnum=1&cmp=727&year=2005)

I actually kind of like this squid. Not that he realizes this at the time, but he's actually doing the smart thing....

If *she* takes some road debris to her dome, then it just hurts like a bitch, and maybe leaves a mark. Besides, she's somewhat protected, by being behind him.

If the roles were reversed, and he was helmet-less and takes a big debris to the dome, they both potentially wreck.

IMHO, it's always better for the operator of the motorcycle, to be the one wearing the helmet.

Until you both go down, she takes a concrete pole to the head, you survive but shortly thereafter you put a gun to YOUR head out of guilt. :roll:

Jessica is fast, for a girl... will she podium... not likely running 1.01's etc... does that offend me as a girl that rides... not at all... I believe a girl will get the recognition she deserves once she deserves it... what makes me laugh is the publicity and the setup shes got from Kawasaki BECAUSE shes a girl that rides... amazing, if only I could run some 1.01's at PPIR... imagine the possibillites ;)

I'm not sure I follow? Sure, I understand that an accident can definitely happen, and a wreck for both people can take place. Maybe a car cuts ya off, maybe the rider blows a turn, maybe somebody turns left in front of you... Accidents happen, yada-yada.

And sure, if you let your imagination run wild, there's guilt, and suicides, and mournful family members who makes attempts on your life, blah-blah-blah.

But my point still remains the same... All things remaining equal, it is much smarter for the operator of a motorcycle to have the helmet, rather than the passenger. They are, afterall, the one controlling the vehicle.

Now Mel... you angle for Suzuki,
Ashli angles for Yamasquash,
Christine for Honda,

How fast could she be if she rides a Kawasaki? Answer: Not very. :evil: :lol:

So I'm a squid because I am still afraid of the turns but I can go fast? But I've only had my bike for like 2 weeks so does this silly label still apply? I wear all my gear too and I don't ride like a tard ass (wrecklesly weaving and such) but does "squid" mean noob or does it mean queef head? From everyones replies I take it to be the latter of the two. By the way thanx for all the def's guys :)

Newsflash, she had Kawi corporate sponsorship long before she was running 1:01's at PPIR. Last year she was much slower, still riding under the Kawi Motor Corp banner. It isn't all about speed! I've seen fast riders who couldn't get a sponsor to save their life, and back markers that have their entire seasons funded just because they understand marketing and how the game works, and how to bust their ass for their sponsors.

Jessica was nearly last in FX. She didn't evan qualify for Superstock. Yet her pit had a line 30-deep waiting for autographs. During R2SL her pit was so popular you couldn't even walk past it. And yes, some of it has to do with her being a girl in the pro AMA circuit (duh!), but if that gets her sponsorship more power to her. She's still faster than most of the people on this site...

So I'm a squid because I am still afraid of the turns but I can go fast?

If you wear your gear, then in my eyes, you're not a squid. You're just a newbie. If you were a newbie and *didn't* wear your gear, then you would be a squid (in my book).

But I don't see how you can be afraid of turns, but also say "I can go fast". If you're fast, you're fast all the time. If you were talking about being fast in a straight line, that doesn't count. I only say this, because anybody can do that. It's like the "free space" in Bingo.

[Vance]

So I'm a squid because I am still afraid of the turns but I can go fast? But I've only had my bike for like 2 weeks so does this silly label still apply? I wear all my gear too and I don't ride like a tard ass (wrecklesly weaving and such) but does "squid" mean noob or does it mean queef head? From everyones replies I take it to be the latter of the two. By the way thanx for all the def's guys :)


Funny story man....

A squid, however, is not defined by what "it" wears or doesn't wear. Squids tend to wear less than what we would consider "normal".
Squids know how to go fast in a straight line but lose their spine (like a squid) when the road turns - in any way, shape or fashion.

Posers may be squids, and vis versa but not neccesarily.

Good riders can be posers but can't be squids. I.e. - insert bike brand here - matching leathers, gloves, boots, helmet... Nothing wrong with a little functional BLING as long as they have the goods to back it up!! Bling without ability is just posin...

Mostly I don't consider those who ride without helmets or in shorts, wifebeaters and tennis shoes to be squids...although they MAY be. (probably are) They're (in my book) just too stupid to know any better.

Girls who can ride???? Hmm... I'm not going to TOUCH that.

No, no, no... no squid... you're a noob. A greenie. A gravel virgin. A 2 incher. A rolling statue... :lol:

This may be true, but for guys to be sponsored by a FACTORY team, you need to be fast, and have good results. She has the sponsorship she has because she's a girl. :|

She doesn't have a FACTORY bike, either. At least, not in the sense that the top riders do. She is helped by a lot of companies but it isn't like she's sporting a $250,000 superbike either.

And yes, she does get the attention she deserves because she's a girl. So what? Sponsorship isn't about honoring fast riders. It's about the sponsoring company using you to market the f**k out of them any way possible. Bottom line, Jessica brings a LOT of attention to her racing efforts, despite being a back marker by AMA standards. Any way you shake it, results mean nothing if you can still bring focused exposure to thousands of people in a race season just by being there. If she wasn't sponsored I would be very surprised.

You seem pissed, or at least annoyed, that this isn't "right" in the world simply because she isn't racking up podium finishes. However that isn't the way it works my friend... Companies do this to make money - and Zalusky makes Kawasaki money.

[ebazyl]

So you are saying that you need to run 101 track times to get a Kawasaki sponsership? Not saying that is EASY by no means, but she is not the only girl out there who could do that....

Ralph you got a point. Riders with better people skills will tend to do a lot better then complete assholes...

BUT, Jessica gets a lot of TV/Announcer/Magazine time, because she is a chick. I specificly remeber at Barber during Superstock Group 1 (slowest 1/2 of the feild): There was 15 riders in that field, which included Jimmy Moore (washed up, 2 time AMA superstock champ), as well as a TON of local riders. She got ALL of the air time. I mean 90% in the least with a small break for someone that crashed, and she was not even remotely close to qualifying. She got more love (figuratively speaking) from the announcer then Hacking then ended up on pole in Group 2 (fastest 1/2 of the feild). Now she might be taking care of her sponsors, but advertising is all about airtime, and even though she sucked her advertisers got pleanty.

...just my $0.02.

Well, yes! That's sort of the point. She has a certain marketable feature, a niche if you will, that all other AMA racers lack. So, she gets airtime because that stuff sells. She is sponsored out the arse because she gets airtime, because she's a girl. I think that probably pisses some people off, but this is capitalism at it's finest...

[~Barn~]

The "Bottom Line" kicks ass. And Jessica's bottom is pretty kick-ass too.

:yumyum: Capitalism.

[Hoopty]

No, I'm not pissed or annoyed about it, jealous yes. :D AMA racing and top level sponsorship is all about going fast and getting results, that is how they make money, by all the guys that read the mags and watch the races, buying up the hot bikes. Having a rider that is good with people skills and marketing their products will obviously be better, but not necessary. Race products should sell themselves when they do well. Look at Yates, the guy obviuosly is not a good salesman (drop kicking lapers etc :lol: ) and look at him, he's got full factory support, as well as numerous other sponsors. Believe me, he gets paid and taken care of, and Suzuki still makes their money. My point being is how many other factory riders did you see out there this weekend that were backmarkers? That's what I thought.

In club racing, that's a new ballgame. After all, the guys in club racing are there for a reason, because chances are they aren't competitive in the higher class stuff. :)

[Hoopty]

I'm not doubting that she makes Kawasaki money, I'm sure she does. My only point is that it's because she's a girl, not because she does anything differently than any other racer out there. :)

Jessica is good on a bike, not the best, not even close to a lot of the guys, but she is good enough to get big money behind her. And she started her sport bike riding on a Ninja 250.
Now, she can market the hell out of her self, and still race on a bike. She is not the only girl out there who can do that, she is just the only one lucky enough to get a sponser to do it.
Anyone got the number to Suzuki? I may have to do some "marketing" myself! :D

[The GECCO]

It was the same as with Angel Benvou (sp) in the Prostock NHRA dragbike..... You could not go anywhere in the pits with out seeing her name

I'm not even gonna come CLOSE to bustin' on Jessica because I know her and respect the hell out of her and what she has been able to do. However, this is NOT an equal comparison. Why?

Because Angelle has finished in the Pro Stock Motorcycle top five for eight consecutive seasons; her 35 wins is the most ever for a female driver in NHRA history and the second most in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle history.

Now, this being said, I still say they both deserve to be where they are at because they have used their talents to get there. Is Jessica the most talented roadracer out there? No, but she is one hell of a marketing machine and she has used that talent to get where she is.

As for those that imply that she is so slow because she was at the back in FX, take a look at the Middleweight Superbike results from the MRA round. The rules in MWSB are all but identical to FX, her laptimes would have put her solidly in the top 15 of a 31 bike field. As has been pointed out here, that's faster than 99% of the people on this board.

i dont doubt that Jessica is fast. i was out on the track with her on wednesday of R2SL. she blew by me more than once, i'm not ashamed to say.

i dont think her being a girl has so much to do with her marketability as her being a very good looking girl. how many butt ugly people do you see out there getting sponsorship in any area of entertainment?? the spot just doesnt fall on them as readily...

she's hot and though she's not as fast as the fastest guys, she is fast and that makes her VERY easy to market. kudos to her for taking advantage of these things. more people need to get over themselves and use what they have like she has.

I agree, I am not saying either one is slow. What I am saying is, most of us on this board has some idea how hard it is to market our selves and our sport. We only get a taste of it and we quit/stop/go to work etc.

Sponsors want someone to work hard and represent the company well. Angel does it for the NHRA (she has been doing this longer then jessica. give jessica or any woman 10 years and seat time seat time seat time)... Jessica for the AMA... Ms Fitzpatrick for IRL and the list goes on and on... in my opinion, the biggest marketing advantage a woman has, they do not act like spoiled brats and have temper tantrums. I think sponsors have been burned to many times men that can not control their tempers, that act out, that drop kick people, that seek retaliation, and overall act like children * Well Glen is just as short as a child, but that is ok ;) *.

If I could, I would be Shana’s general manager and quite racing. I can market her far more easily then I could market myself.

Saw the King Squid down in the Springs on Saturday...

Blue R1... POLISHED (and I mean FRESHLY) frame, swingarm, rims,... Hmmmmm....funny how you make such a big deal out of the polish, mentioning it first and all. Why does a polished frame automatically make you (and others) think "Squid"?

FWIW, this is my streetbike:

POSER!!!! Learn how to ride that thing Glenn! :lol:

[Anonymous]

I consider polishing a bit too "bling" for my liking, but I certainly don't equate that to the squidliness of the rider by itself. When establishing "Squid Value" I tend to evaluate the entire package and weight each criteria towards a "Total Value of Squid".

For example, let's say you can rate squids from 0 to 100, with 100 being Street Sushi, and 0 being the best rider in the world. Now, 0 is a purely unattainable value but sets a high mark of achievement, whereas 100 is completely scoreable for a number of people I've seen. A rating system would then be useful for determining the value here.

- Rider not wearing helmet while riding: 10 points
- Rider not wearing any other gear: 5 points
- The only thing thinner than rider's chicken strips are the straps on his back-seat-betty's thong: 10 points
- Considers one pair of Oakleys to be adequate protection for both he and his passenger (cause they cost as much as a helmet, right?): 10 points
- Polished everything, including his greased-back hair: 5 points
- Thinks stickers make them more impressive: 5 points
- Tried *riding* once, it scared the sh*t out of them: 10 points
- Considers riding to be hanging out and posing at [insert favorite gas station name here]: 10 points
- "Riding Gear" equates to pants which can simultaneously hang below the swingarm while not losing their chromed cell phone at 50mph: 10 points
- Believes wheelies down I-25 at 65mph while weaving through cars, school busses, and vans full of nuns is a sign of pure and absolute skill: 40 points
- Crashed a bike doing something stupid, didn't hurt anyone else: 5 points
- Crashed a bike doing something stupid, hurt someone else: Instant 100 points
- Has ever ridden uncontrollably, broken laws, etc: 5 points


As you can see, it would be possible to exceed 100 points in some rare cases. However these are hopefully rare in the sportbiking world. I threw the last one in there because that stuff isn't wise, but I don't think a person on this board can say they haven't done that one. Of course we could also subtract points based on the rider's skill but that's a whole other post.

I put it on there because Rob Muzzy makes good stuff, it makes great power (ask the dyno at TK), it was inexpensive (brand new full system for $375 on ebay), and it fits the look of the bike.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but something about this has been bugging me since I read it.

While this is true:

If *she* takes some road debris to her dome, then it just hurts like a bitch, and maybe leaves a mark. Besides, she's somewhat protected, by being behind him.

If the roles were reversed, and he was helmet-less and takes a big debris to the dome, they both potentially wreck.What are the odds of "big debris" actually hitting either of them in the head (unless he's following a dump truck too closely)? :dunno:


But my point still remains the same... All things remaining equal, it is much smarter for the operator of a motorcycle to have the helmet, rather than the passenger. They are, afterall, the one controlling the vehicle.
But if they do crash, then the operator is no longer in control, and the passenger is more susceptible to a head injury than the operator.

I guess I have to disagree with you Barn - in my opinion, I think it's smarter to let the passenger wear the helmet - even if it is ill-fitting :| - perhaps the lack of a helmet will be a reminder for the operator to slow down and take extra care.

[~Barn~]

It may verywell be the more caring thing to do, I'll give you that. It's defintely the chivalrous thing.

But no matter what, I would still rather have the pilot of my rig have all the protection they need to maintain control, rather than not.

If it were between me as a passenger, and them as an operator... Have at it, if it makes you a more capable rider.

Granted, if our fate is crashing, then hindsight is 2020, and I would swap of course. I think it's just that I would rather plan for something bad, proactively, than expect something bad, and plan reactively.

Both have their pros and cons, but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, as to which is better.
