What kind of rider are you?

Squid: Expensive superbike, top-dollar fancy gear, race-replica helmet, can't go around the corners carrying any speed but pins it every time in the straights.

Stunta: Crapped out superbike with a flat-topped tank, rear tire mushroomed out because it's at 15 psi, wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, doing stand-up one-foot wheelies at 80 in traffic.

Squirrel: Could be any bike, minimum gear, an indecisive, wobbly rider who consistently makes poor trajectory/velocity decisions. Will sit in traffic until someone goes by lane splitting, then will often strike the first car mirror available attempting to follow.

Showboat: Polished and chromed Haybusa or GSXR1000 with neon and/or LEDs, chrome beanie helmet, Dainese mesh/armor shirt, jeans and Nike Airs, no gloves. Fast in a straight line, does a mean rolling burnout, still can\'t get the bike leaned over in a turn.

Sport-Tourer: Dirty bike loaded with luggage, footpegs ground to little nubs, bug-spattered helmet, faded and greasy Aerostich. Often found lane splitting, double-yellow ignoring, speed limit breaking, with middle finger pointing skyward while passing Cruisers on the inside in blind turns or on freeway off ramps.
