I am thinking the Harley "clone" rider is a miserable sort, the kinda guy that has sex with a blow up doll. He wants the real thing but just cant seem to figure out how to pull it off...

Not as miserable as the ones that joined the M8 sumper club. I wonder if they wave? When the bike isn't in the shop I mean

I don't wave but I will give an occasional head nod. I bought a Jeep Wrangler last year and son of of b!tch, I now have another group I have to ignore.

Because for the last 50 years the HD riders have looked down on them as not worthy of acknowledgement

Try waving at a HD rider while riding a rice rocket, full faced helmet and reflective armored jacket.... They don't respond.

So when I am riding my Concours14 and wave I am sub human, when I have either one of the baggers out for a ride I am a member of the club.

Keep waving, maybe you can start the healing process
When its possible to wave I do wave at anyone and most wave back (So Cal areas). Its the new Blacked Out Bikers (little boys) you know the ones that follow the new TV shows that portray the 1% biker clubs that think there s h ! t doesn't stink that think they are better then you. I myself think of them belonging to the "Little Boys Club" but I still wave.

I don't wave at anyone, but I'll always return one.

I am not as rich as you I am sure. I have spent money on things I am sure people question. But I am also a tight ***, or atleast want value for my money.

I just think the idea of factory custom is a joke. If you want to spend that amount of money, why not customize a bike? But its America you have the right to do it, we have right to make fun off you, and you have right to tell us to fuc off. Great country that way.
