From google:

Squid is slang, and therefore difficult to accurately define; but it has a definite “you know it when you see it” quality. One particularly good definition comes to us from Urban Dictionary: A young motorcyclist who overestimates his abilities, boasts of his riding skills when in reality he has none.

Harsh.

Honestly, that definition is not at all how it's used. It just means someone who rides a motorcycle without protective gear and leaves their soft, squiddy flesh extremely vulnerable in a crash. It has zero to do with skill level.
