:laughing:

This is a squid. :squiddly:

Usually squid refers to a rider that rides irresponsibly, lacks experience yets pops wheelies on a 1000cc sportbike for example, doesn't wear proper gear.., etc., etc.,

Here it's just referring to a noob. :)

On a ride in S Cal (the Hansen Dam Ride) the squids (squidi?) were the only ones crashing. Our fearless leader, un named editor of un named well known motorcycle magazine, was on a BSA Gold Star, which of course broke. The crashing squid caused a lot of grief for everyone else, about 400 of us, and we were far from slow.

Yikes! 400 riders?

With that many there was bound to be a few problems. Was it a fundraiser or something?

Every new registrant is called a "Tricycle Squid" until they've hit 5 posts (at 6 they graduate). The idea is that no one wants to be called a Squid so hopefully they post a lot just to get rid of it. :laughing:

You can change your avatar at anytime by uploading your own photo so that at least you don't have to look at the Tricycle... ;)
