RE: riding is riding
Hi all,
Well first, Raptor, it's not really a wave as much as the left hand held out sidewase by the left knee. I like to think of it as a "Low five" :-)
When riding in the cities I adopted the "only wave to sportriders" credo because so many of the cruisers were so rude.
NowI live in rural northern California and all riders wave to each other...like it should be as a nice happy two-wheeled communal gesture of respect. It's really quite nice.

No, I'll just be nice.
I see at least a couple hundred bikes a weekend around here and a large percentage are cruisers. At least 90% wave. *shrugs* I guess we have great people here. hahaha, what a great place to live.

RE: riding is riding
Lol....this thread (and its concurrently worsening posts)is rediculous. You are actually going to take the time to be pissed off because a rider didn't wave back?
Are your feelings really that fragile, that you would want to bother to be upset by something so trivial?
Might want to thicken your skin some.......I ride both a Harley AND and a Honda CBR. Its a completly different experiance, but we are all enthusiasts of the samelifestyle facing the same thrills and dangers. I wave to everyone. Its no skin off my back if they don't wave back.

I wave all the time. There are a couple that I miss (because I'm concentrating on traffic and whatnot). I figure that most of them are doing the same, trying to keep the cell-phone driving jackass off their tails instead of worrying about waving to me.
I wave, and if I don't get one back, no biggie. In the end, it's just a wave. It doesn't matter if Harleys/Cruisers don't wave back........I waved to them and that's all that matters.

ok you know when you are riding down the street and you see another bike you give a him a wave, well where i live if you ride a sportbike then all the cruisers dont give you the wave, espically harley riders. i think that riding is riding no matter what you are on, it pisses me off when im passing a guy on a cruiser and i dont get the wave back like they dont consider what we ride real bikes. im still gonna give them the wave but not first, im gonna wait and ill return the wave if i get one, just my thoughts.
