Why no Harley squids?
Why do harley riders not get called squids? 98% of them around this area never wear gear/helmets. Do this on a sportbike and you are a squid.

I thought squid was more about stupid shit someone did while riding rather than gear, like stunting in traffic.

Harley riders, by and large, are posers and accountants with a mid-life crisis that cruise really slowly to the local "bike night" and back once a week. Their life is all about image and rugged individuality, which is why they all dress like a bunch of gay pirates.

When asked if I ride a Harley, I always reply that I'm not old enough to ride one yet.
I'm 50.

The harley riders I know are older guys that insist everything must be 'merican and a harley is the only "real" bike. They don't know what the term "squid" means.

I will say this - Harley has the market saturated. And, although they have more riders that go without protective gear, they also have more riders that are willing to get out there and ride. After going across the country, there are more riders out there on the open road on Harley Davidson's than any other bike. Sportbikes say they ride. Bullshit, Harley riders do ride the fuck out of those bikes....
