Don't thank Harley for riders in Africa that waved to you, thank your fellow residents.

Because the are so cool though, they all chose to ride Harleys. Cool people, cool bike.

A perfect fit.

Thanks for the post!

Some riders wave, some don't.

That's just called good road manners to show appreciation. Why wouldn't someone do that? Not to be confused with the "camaraderie" wave.

I was playing with my PV while autotuning yesterday (parked on the side of the road) and a sport biker stopped to ask if everything was okay.

That was very cool.

Same as if your trying to pull out on a busy road, guy leaves a gap so you can merge into traffic. He gets a wave of thanks.

I only wave if, under the same circumstance, I would do so while on foot. Such as if I'm on a 1 or 2 lane road, riding under 60 mph, there's no concrete divider and I can make eye contact.

Default Harley-Davidson of Johannesburg

Was in Johannesburg a few weeks ago and visited the H-D shop there. Got to meet the owner and he was one of the most friendly guys I've ever met. Now I just have to convince my good friend in Alberton to sell his Hayabusa and upgrade to a Harley!

The Hayabusa is a serious quality machine, the best bike Suzuki makes. I don't think Harley is an upgrade. Cooler? Yes. But not an upgrade. Not in my opinion, for what that's worth
