Ive not seen them either but I've heard of days being "the day" the riders hit the streets.

Do you use Bull Moose Guns for your transfers?

hahaha

one hit a tree here in Eastern NC...while awaiting the amberlamps, someone jumped on his atv and drove off with it!!

Darwin won that round.

No helmet, 2200 hours, on an atv, C&R, (tox hasn't come back-but I'd wager a months pay that there was alcohol)..

I guess I'm a heartless bastard, but fuck 'em...drive like an idiot; you get what you deserve.

Flashguy, Squid is a term for navy personnel but it has another meaning as well. Living in the Norfolk, VA Beach, Chesapeake VA area for years I can't help but wonder if the Navy type squids had anything to do with the creation of the term squid regarding motorcycle riders. I know many Navy Squid types are also squids on motorcycles.

The way I understand it is that motorcycle riders, specifically sport bike riders, look like squids after the crash. It has to do with broken bodies and inners becoming outers.

What I wonder, is there any way to mark these riders during a pursuit so that when they are not running they can be picked up? For example, an officer has some way to 'paint' a bike. when the cyclist parks or is stopped, another officer can arrest for riding a bike that was used to flee a stop. I think the nonsense would stop if the cyclist had to be in flee mode every time he mounted his bike. IDK, whaddayathink?

Extends to dirt bike riders (esp new ones - novice class), you can see them at the track causing mayhem, bad body position, no bike control, lots of crashing. Squirrely kid = squid.
