Scary numbers out there. Palomar MSF is running 3 classes per am and 3 per Pm every sat and sunday- that means 288 new riders hitting the roads. although many of them are actually long term riders who had to take the course due to DUI or something else, there are also a lot of newbie unexperienced riders coming out of these classes. Also consider that Southwestern and other colleges in Orange county are also churning out 100's of newly licensed riders every week.CHP reports tell us that in 2005 there were 38 motorcycle fatalities in SD county alone and over 1086 chp investigated biker accidents. That does not count local pd or sheriff responded accidents. So be very careful not only of cagers but also of other riders. Newbies can hurt not only themselves that those of us ridng around them.

Well I am new to the west coast so please don't think low of me when I ask..........What is a squid?

Wikipedia's answer

I just rode with a rider this weekend who was new to getting back on two wheels. Did a Telegraph, 94, old 80 run to El Centro to eat. I'd go at my pace then turn around and get back behind him every 10 minutes or so. He did great by staying at his own pace and didn't "push it" to keep up. I just offered slight tips to improve his posture. I didn't want him working on too many things on a unfamiliar road. He thanked me for coming back to hang with him.

Yes, it was hot in El Centro and Sonic's is still pretty good food.

If the steets were only a motorcycle place they woudl be crazy enough with people going each and everyway but cars hurt and trees and other big things hurt when you hit them.

I say drive a car and cruise on your bike when you ride em. I love bikes like you all do but other drivers can be scary sometimes (in cars)

Guns don't kill, people kill who do not know how to use guns right.

It is not the bikes fault it is the person not usuing there head.

ok my rant is done. SOrry folks

Squid, a carnivorous mollusk belonging to the same class as the nautilus, cuttlefish, and octopus (see Cephalopod).

The squid has a large head and a relatively large brain. Its body, stiffened by an interior cartilaginous skeleton, is spherical or cigar-shaped, with two lateral fins. Around the mouth are eight sucker-bearing arms and two contractile tentacles with spatulate tips; on the latter are four rows of suction cups encircled by rings of chitinous (horny) hooks. The contractile tentacles, longer than the rest, are used to seize the prey and pass it to the shorter arms, which hold it to be torn by strong jaws shaped like a parrot's beak. Squid can swim faster than any other invertebrate by rapidly expelling water from the mantle cavity through the “funnel,” which can be turned to direct movement. Many deep-sea squid are bioluminescent. They shoot out a cloud of dark ink when pursued; one genus secretes luminescent ink.

In the male squid, one smaller arm is modified for the purpose of planting a packet of sperm (a spermatophore) in the female's oviduct. In some squid, such as the common squid of the east North Atlantic coast, the sperm can also be deposited in a vesicle below the female's mouth; the spermatophore, already opened by the male, releases the sperm as the eggs are produced. The females fasten their eggs to seaweed or to the ocean bottom by a viscous filament. The eggs of deep-water squid are free-floating.

Squid species vary greatly in size. The common squid of the east North Atlantic coast is 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 in) long, and the giant squid, at least 18 m (60 ft) long, is the largest aquatic invertebrate. It lives at depths of 300 to 600 m (985 to 1970 ft), where it is the prey of sperm whales.

Scientific classification: Squid belong to the order Teuthoidea of the class Cephalopoda. Squid that secrete luminescent ink are classified in the genus Heteroteuthis of the family Sepiolidae. The common squid of the east North Atlantic coast belongs to the family Loliginidae and is classified as Loligo vulgaris. The giant squid is classified in the genus Architeuthis of the family Architeuthidae.
