Believe me it was hard to keep a straight face during this weird situation. I don't wave to the point that it would be mistaken for a pistol in my hand. I just through my hand out for crying out loud. After it was all about over the cop started telling me about his Harley, he knew what I was talking about with the wave. Told me he figured there wasn't anything to it, just having to do his job. He shook my hand and we went our seperate ways.

Can't blame the LEO for that. He gets a call that some biker is waving a gun at motorists..he has to respond 110% just in case there really is some whacko actually doing it. But the guy who called is a frickin moron. Plain & simple.

Most of the Harley Riders that would carry a gun won't wave at you anyway.

We refer to them as Harley snobs in Cincinnati.

Sorry to hear of your ordeal. I'll still wave when you go by!

This appears to be about the most dangerous activity you could possibly participate in. Whenever something bad or unusualy happens to anybody, it always starts with minding your own business.

Maybe that's why all of the "RUB" and fashion threads are being started. Folks are afraid to mind their own business because the cops always show up when you do that

A person who might be caught off guard by this question might respond by saying "oh, I know what that was about, some stupid jackass cager cut me off and I flipped them off. Must have thought my finger was a gun".
