Default Do you know what a Squid is?
The term “squid” was derived from the typical motorcycle-riding behavior of new, unskilled sportbike riders: an inexplicable squirt of speed followed by an equally inexplicable bout of slowness.

But, it’s become a catch all term for bad riding behavior or more testosterone than sense. A such, I feel this video really sums things up.

When done right, you make a circle.

While wasting very expensive tires.

No squid thread is complete without mentioning this guy:

The string of BS that comes out of his mouth, plus the HILARIOUS ending.

I generally think of a squid as someone who rides like a tool AND doesn't gear up. The guy in the video (which has been circulating various moto forums lately) is just a dumba$$.

Here ya go:

My buddy that owned a chopper shop considered squids to be the weekend riders, white collar type mostly.

The guy in the video is just simply a retard.
