anything more than a couple of miles from home gets the jacket.
but i have worn shorts before in my retard younger days.

RE: Cops are they squids too?
I would say No. The officers in thepicturesdoing wheelies, I would say they areacting squidish at the moment. I believe if you are going to ride hard, stunt ... then you need to be smart and gear down. I believe that the minumium gear that should be worn is a Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, and Boots. Most Officers I know riding do wear the previous mentioned gear.
I equated the term "squid" or "squidly" with a rider riding in a fashion that will get him or someone else hurt due to their poor judgements that could have beeneasyly prevented.
If you like to ride wheelies.... gear up and do it on an empty street/parking lot. Otherwise, you're getting deemed a squid by me.
If you're dragging knees... gear up anddo it where you can see othersare coming. Otherwise, you're getting deemed a squid by me.
And if I offend someone with this next statement I don't care.
If you don't wear a helmet...even if you're going 40 feet up the road. YOU ARE A SQUID!!

The best safety gear is your brain, you can wear all the leather, kevlar bulls**t you want, when it comes down to it the best way to survive your ride is to ride safe and alert.

that's your problem right there. you assume that everyone who is not fullygeared up is a squid. i figure as long as someone has on a helmet, gloves and shoes anything beyond that is personal choice. hell during the msf course they dont even tell you to wear a jacket just a long sleeve t-shirt."squid" is a term that gets thrown around wayyyyy too much.
