I even wave at people on ridding lawn mowers, harley ridders didn't wave even when I had the 95 flstn guess my yellow modular and yellow ridding mesh jacket confused them or they were afraid to let go of the bars for fear of wrecking or voiding their warranty.

 

wouldn't have it any other way

 

Bet that's the first time you been called that

 

if I had a dollar...............

 

I wave at everybody on two wheels. I get snubbed better than half the time. I think I'm just too damn dorky to rate a wave from the cooler riders out there. And my fellow dorks are prolly just taking pity on me. I think I'm fed up with that B.S. You know, half of those that see me wave, and don't wave back, those dudes are just playing the "I'm better than you" game. That pisses me off. I think I'm going to beat them to the punch. I'm done waving with all of my fingers. I think I'm going to start waving with just the one. That way, I'm only doing half of those I encounter wrong, and I'm getting over on the other half before they can get over on me. B.S. on karma.

 

Listen man, don't take it personal. I would imagine waving started as a way of saying "hey brother isn't it great being in the wind, and I commiserate with you on some of the dificulties we have to go through sometimes". But now on nice days, there are too many bikes to wave to, and sometimes it interferes with your situational awareness, so after a while waving becomes more of an obligation than a joy and some guys say screw it.

I will wave when I have good traffic conditions, more likely when bad weather, as a way of acknowledging dedication to riding. So wave when you want, but don't waste time looking for response. Could get you killed watching opposing traffic, and decreasing your situational awareness of your lane.

 

I waved at a postman on a moped yesterday. He waved back.
