Do you think people who illegal street race are ‘bad people’?

    Motorcyclist here. Pretty much everything I say except stunting is also applicable to car drivers as well.

    Speed is so damned much fun, especially on two wheels. Hit the straight and twist that throttle, and you are GONE!!!

    That said, we have a name for people who do that on the streets - squids. They are the bane of our community, and give us a bad reputation in the general population.

    Want to go fast? Hit up a track day and get some instruction to go with it. Or book some track time just to unwind. Or maybe - just maybe (depending on your local circumstances), find a paved secondary highway with no traffic.

    But street racing? Stunting? Showing off? GET THE FUCKING FUCK OFF THE FUCKING ROAD YOU FUCKING FUCK!!!

      ‘Squids’ is a good daily-driver descriptor. I prefer to go straight to ‘organ donors’ usually.
