Squids aren't solely crotch rocket riders. I have met plenty of HD squids as well.

When we see people riding over thier heads or in a dangerous way they are referred to as "statistics".

Why do you all call crotch rockets SQUIDS?? The only squid I know is the one I eat and the nickname they give us Navy Sailors....
A squid is an irresponsible motorcyclist. The term is derogatory and common among motorcyclists in North America 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: [ul][*]A contraction of: [ul][*]"Squirrely" and "kid" (possibly taken from California surfing culture), or[*]"Squished" and "kid", or[*]"Squished" and "idiot"[/ul][*]An acronym for: [ul][*]"Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Ignorant and Dangerous", or[*]"Stupidly Quick, Underdressed and Imminently Dead"[/ul] [/ul] Note: both of these are likely to be backronyms [ul][*]Derivative of U.S. military culture: [ul][*]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.[*]"Squid" was also a common derogatory term for sailors: [ul][*]Recent inductees were called "squids" by more senior sailors, and[*]All sailors were called "squids" by Marines[/ul] [/ul][*]Based on similarity between the way a "squid" rides and an actual squid swims. [ul][*]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.[/ul] [/ul] 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 "[URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_donor]organ donors[/link
