The stupidity that the human race is capable of never ceases to amaze me.

 

hmm, I have done something similar when the helmet law was first introduced. 1987 I think for Oregon. I strapped my lid to my leathers and went riding to the school. More defiance than anything. What next?, seat belts to sleep in your own bed? Yes, I wear my gear. But someone telling me that I HAVE TO do something kinda irks me. Kinda like saying giving up my arms. F-you

 

urban dictionary's definiton......

Squid:
A young motorcyclist who overestimates his abilities, boasts of his riding skills when in reality he has none. Squid bikes are usually decorated with chrome and various anodized bits. Rear tyres are too wide for their own good, swingarm extended. Really slow in the corners, and sudden bursts of acceleration when a straight appears. Squids wear no protection, deeming themselves invincible. This fact compounds intself with the fact that they engage in 'extreem riding'--performing wheelies and stoppies in public areas. Squids wreck alot. Derived from 'squirly kid'

another one, where the term came from......

'Squid' is a contraction of "Squirrelly Kid", and comes from So Cal racers who were also involved in the Surfer culture.

Though the term is now widely used to describe street riders of questionable cornering skill, questionable judgement in demonstrations of horsepower and braking, questionable judgement in the protective clothing worn, and very questionable judgement in his/her friends, the meaning was actually developed at the racetrack.

Back in the day before trackdays (an organized event to allow anyone with a motorcycle and the price of admission to gain familiarity with a racetrack and learn to ride faster, more safely than on the street) were common and new racers frequently had no track experience - hence their unpredictable behavior and unsteady lines led to them being labelled "squirrelly", as unpredictable surfers (or surfing conditions or surfing equipment) were also called.

From there, the term made it to the canyons of Southern California (a popular means to risk one's hide while demonstrating riding skill at speeds well over the posted limit), then out to the rest of the world that reads about So Cal in magazines and apparently strives to be just like So Cal.

 

Dayyyyyyyyum. Got the college answer wow!! As far as F-You. I'm betting nobody really cares if you wear a helmet or not, if you're a SQUID, stand up and be proud!!!

I can tell you who is a squid. Did any of you see that episode of Pinks where Rich Christenson, with no helmet or other protective gear, hopped on that sportbike to go down to the other side of the track? As soon as he took off, he lost control and went down. Apparently he learned his lesson though, but it was a really stupid move.
