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 good one I've heard: Skills Questionable Uncontrolled Inertia Displayed

also, in reference to street bikes Ive heard them referred to as "pavement crayons" or something like that

Dumbass's on bikes have been called squids since the 90's if not earlier. You hear it at the track alot more than anywhere else, at least in my experience.

Wow.

Not only did he drill through the ECU, but apparently he was having an epileptic seizure while doing the job.

Yea obviously the guy who owned the bike had no knowledge if it. He wanted it to look cooler but didn't know squat about his bike.

yeap. usually its the guys wearing shorts, wife beater, shoes and no helmet trying to do something he shouldnt.

watched one guy with cutoff shorts, a t-shirt and sandels trying to show off for some girls in a convertable mustang next to him. he was reeving it up when the clutch popped on him. teh bike shot foreword (he fell on his ass) and hit a car in front of him. the girls laughed and drove off.
