Saw a bike in a stupid accident today (no Spyder content)

[RodO]

I was headed to work in my cage, stopped at a red light in the middle lane of a 3 lane road (3 lanes each direction) when I saw a squid go past on my left side headed through the intersection on what was a very red light by that time.
He never braked or swerved and piled at about 25 mph into the driver's side front corner of a small pickup truck making a left. The plastic on the bike shattered everywhere and the rider went over the bars and the truck.
He got up right away but was dragging one foot and looked like he had an ankle injury as he made it to the side of the road. He had a full face helmet and gloves but street clothes and runners otherwise.
Can't imagine why he ran the light, but maybe he didn't see the truck making the left turn and thought he'd get away with it.
I called it in to 911 but traffic was heavy so I moved on when the light changed. I hope he's OK, and glad that he lived to try again.

Ride safe,
Rod.

Squid?

This is a 'Squid'.

 

[Arr MiHardies]

In reference to the bike, or a guy with a football capped helmet and thongs?

 

[RodO]

Squid?

Like BajaRon said. Someone unsafe on a bike.
May or may not (too often not) be wearing appropriate riding gear.

BMW's are definitely not 'Squids'.

Squid is a derogotory reference to the rider who is either very new, doing stupid and dangerous things on a motorcycle, or improperly dressed (or a combination of these). Basically a danger to himself and others.

No my friend. You are a GIANT squid. We are talking 20,000 leagues under the sea, the Nautilus and Captain Nemo giant size squid.

Just saying.

My husband was a Navy man and I thought "squid" was a submariner or at least a Navy guy/gal.

The term 'Squid' has many applications. The meaning is derived from the context.
