Squid: ['Noun'] {slang, generally considered derogatory} is an irresponsible motorcyclist; generally associated with a new or reckless motorcyclist seen riding erratically and/or beyond his or her capabilities often without appropriate riding gear.

seems to be a pretty accurate description of a squid

I took that test and got an 86. " Your score indicates that you are a fairly responsible motorcyclist but a bit of a wise-"O Ring""

BTW, that test is mentally challenged.. there are very few normal answers available. I don't disagree with the result... however, the wise-assedness is mostly directed towards the stupid questions and answers available. There is a reason the average # of questions answered is 47 out of 115...
