ive learned that old harley guys usually dont like to wave back, along with the mid-life crisis guys that just bought the bike and think that they can ride. i hate those guys specifically. they are usually a bunch of arsholes.

 

I think a good wave between geared-up sportbike riders is top-shelf. It's like a totally plutonic, super-short one-night stand--it lasts only a second, but the payoff is magic.

Also top-shelf are the true motorcyclists that wave like they mean it, no matter what they ride. I respect that, and try to be the same...'cept scooters--they ain't playin' this game.


Full gear and you can tuck all you want to...anything less and it's kinda silly. Still fun though.

 

1) Yes

2) I only tuck above 90-95 unless cold.

 

I like to wave, but I can't always, so I try to do the head nod as well. Sometimes if you have the clutch in or you can't let go cause your really moving you can't take your hand off the grip.

I don't wave to scooters. Ever. I'll wave to harley guys if they wave first, always to another rider in full gear on a sport bike, unless it's a squid gixxer.

My leg doesn't go numb, ever. Sometimes I get the tingles in my hands, but not numb-ness, ever.

 

I hate harley guys....they never wave. I wave to all sportbike riders and the other riders if they wave first. Leg never goes numb. Whats this thing about full gear? I understand its smart to wear it...but there are days where it's ***** hot and with the stop and go traffic of pittsburgh i wouldn't be in anything more than my gloves and helmet
