Oh... He's a straight up newwwbbbb

You shoulda seen him open a beer bottle on the door hinge of his trailer and get popped in the eye by the cap. I was almost falling out of my chair I was laughing so hard

I should give myself an achievement for that "Bust-a-Cap". Stories like this are why good times around bikes are priceless.

And... how do you expect me to keep my swagger with you tellin' stories like that?!?!?!?!

I figure it'd be fair game considering the "chone dubstep" video

That question is subjective. Like when a make a mistake and my non moto friends think it was a rad stunt. Or when I think I was dragging knee and my track junkie friends explain to me my lack of good body positioning.

When I am around my non moto friends - I am Pro
When I am around Squids - I am mature and experienced
When I am around the my piers I am a humble hobby rider
When I am around the track junkies and motorcycle touring crowd - I am n00b

But mosty I dont give a rats rear end about titles

you know what you know, you dont know what you dont know
its how you carry yourself and what you do with it that ya are judged by.

I have been riding for over a year, but there are things that I still learn every time I ride.

I don't know about putting the label of 'expert' or 'master' on myself but after 6 seasons on the Ninja and 50k miles I'd say I'm a 'seasoned' rider. I have on and off experience prior offroading and riding overseas.

Not much really throws me off nowadays, I don't really get nervous or on edge. However I think that will change when I eventually get my supersport.

I'm just turning 25 and I'll save the title of 'veteran' for when I make it into my 40's, if I do. Then I can call myself a master. Its not just about how good you are or how hard you can lean, if you can't stay alive its doesn't mean diddly.
