    I thought it was a police/paramedic term for a motorcyclist that has had a high speed prang, and has broken every bone in their body-hence limbs become limp and 'squidlike'!! I could be wrong!

    Good to see that for years everyone has been using this term, but actually no-one agrees what it means and for why.

    Tried to get my "squid rating" from that link, but that is the world's longest survey! Gave up after 6 hours. I thought cosmo quizes were in-depth, jeez.

    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    I started to do that survey, and I couldn't answer the the first DoD questions because i don't know what it is. But then they start to ask more of them as if I did know.
    What the fuck is DoD?

    * 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.
    Aww man.. that was me for my first 2 months... It'll probably be me again once I get my bike back, because I'll be scared of crashing again (after getting nailed by someone not giving way and coming the wrong way down a one way street).

    Is that the new opening for the next Tui advert?
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    From the fricken long survey if you make it that far!

    Have you ever taken a friend's key out of their ignition at a stop light and
    then ridden off?

    Funny, I'd hate to have it done to me but would be classic to see, Hobson St at 5pm anyone?
