I saw about 12 squids today. All wearing nothing but a helmet and t-shirt, baggy jeans, and some sneakers. they are out in full force this season

[rol1in0n20s]

I like the guys who HAVE a helmet, but leave it attached to the tail... cuz obviously it wouldn't look cool with their tanktop

Few years back, it was my $200 around town beater for a summer. I rode with gear though, not a bear hat.

Damn wish i was able to take a pic of a guy i saw the other week at a stoplight stopped there like he was the living definition of badass let me paint the pic, new style R6 no shirt(gotta get tanned somehow), shorts, those cheesy ass 99cent flip flops you buy when your living in the dorms to shower with, no eyewear or gloves, AND a cigarette for added rebellion. I ride by he doesn't give the downward arm this mother straight up waves it wasn't the side to side motion of the arm this was the vertical flipping of the wrist. I just started laughing

A squid is an irresponsible motorcyclist. The term is derogatory and common among motorcyclists in the United States and is generally associated with a new or reckless motorcyclist seen riding erratically and/or beyond his or her capabilities, often without appropriate riding gear.

The origin of the word is varyingly attributed:

* A contraction of:
o "Squirrely" and "kid" (possibly taken from California surfing culture), or
o "Squished" and "kid", or
o "Squished" and "idiot"
* An acronym for:
o "Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Ignorant and Dangerous", or
o "Stupidly Quick, Underdressed and Imminently Dead"

Note: both of these are likely to be backronyms

* Derivative of U.S. military culture:
o Newly-inducted sailors based in San Diego in the '60s would frequently buy an inexpensive two-stroke motorcyle for transportation while on shore, whether they'd ever ridden before or not. So, there were large numbers of unprotected, inexperienced "marine life" squirting through traffic in a hurry and leaving a trail of black "ink" (smoke) behind them.
o "Squid" was also a common derogatory term for sailors:
+ Recent inductees were called "squids" by more senior sailors, and
+ All sailors were called "squids" by Marines
* Based on similarity between the way a "squid" rides and an actual squid swims.
o Squids can appear unable to change direction while swimming without first coming to a near complete stop. However, once the squid does stop and change directions, it can very quickly accelerate back to its regular swimming speed. Beginning motorcyclists commonly have trouble negotiating turns, and must slow down to unnecessarily slow speed, while at the same time have a tendency to ride very fast on the straight sections of the road.

Often young, squids are identified by their reckless abandon (speeding, wheelies, stoppies etc.) and by their inappropriate attire (shorts, backwards ball caps, flip flops, wifebeater T-shirt, etc). Such a rider eschews all or most of the protective gear worn by many riders (helmet, gloves, leather jacket, riding pants, and boots) and the social and legal norms of riding behaviour, and as such is looked upon with derision by experienced motorcyclists, who also refer to them as "organ donors", "Zip-Splats", "a Stillie", "Skin Crayons", "Sausage Creatures"<1> and "soon-to-be-ex-motorcyclists".

They could also be called "squids" because of ambulance drivers' slang for motorcyclists. In a bad accident without leathers or other good protection, it's possible for the torso to become detached from the legs. At that point, the intestines can drag along behind the torso - thus giving a grisly "tentacled body" appearance.

At the end of the month (May) we should take all the picture here and poll them to see who is the squid king or whatever...
