Too me, being a squid has nothing to do with age, however, many many times it can go hand and hand because their are so many naive 19 year olds buying a Gixxer 1k for their first bike, and cruise around without knowing much of how to ride, thinking stunting down a busy street is the thing to do, and sans gear of course. A squid can be 16, or 60, age doesn't matter. This is a nice statement that you made...it has a lot of truth in it. Many squids are poseurs I like to say. They can cruise and show of their candy bike "real" nice in a straight line.
