A fair number of those apply to me :(
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Lol, a fair number of those apply to everyone, lol. Probably even people who don't even ride motorcycles.

whats wrong with a Canotuna? Its a perfectly good bike. Most true squids prefer supersports.

squid is less of an image and more of a way of riding. someone who rides like a complete crazy donkey (stunts on the street, high speed lane splitting, etc) is a squid.

I confess....I belong to other motorcycle forums and I've never seen the term Squid mentioned. ???

Gotcha. I'm definitely NOT a Squid! Sounds like it would awfully hard to be one on a cruiser anyway. :laughing:

Squids are not exclusive to sportbikes. I have seen cruiser squids around here that ride as bad as any sportbike squid.

Not hard at all. I was a squid long before you could buy a sportbike. You can be a squid on a 50cc scooter if you try hard enough.
