Not really into the whole waving thing...too many riders now & arm gets tired. I just tool along like a tool & ignore all the happy bikers...

Cool Wave

ON A RIDE OR IN A DRIVE ON COUNTRY ROADS IN MY AREA, SEEMS LIKE MOST MALE FOLKS WAVE. I BE ON THE BLACK BEAUTY OR IN THE BELOVED DAKOTA, THE ONE WITH 5,000$ HAIL DIMPLE DAMAGE FROM RECENT STORM, A WAVE SEEMS THE NORM. ABOUT ALL ONCOMING TRAFFIC, FOLKS ON THE PORCH, FOLKS DOIN' YARD/FIELD WORK WAVE. SOMETIMES I WAVE FIRST! AS I AM LEAVING THE RURAL AREA, MOST ALL WAVING STOPS EXCEPT THE TWO WHEELERS BACK AND FORTH.

Rural Texas when I was growing up. Rural Louisiana when I was at Grandparents. Everyone waves. I don't care if people wave or not. We still wave and if it bothers you ---so what. We also pack. We drink beer. We stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and we pray. Yes ma'am and yes sir is a polite way to talk to everyone. Please and thank you aren't signs of weakness. It we have to we will pray over you. This is my speech of the day.
