I live in a small town where everybody knows everybody else by the car they drive! There's 1 guy I know (actually never met him, but know who he is) who doesn't speak when I see him on the street, doesn't say hello in the grocery store, doesn't wave when he drives by in the car, but he waves when he passes me on his bike. What's up with that? There are a couple of other people who I've seen in the grocery store, and they didn't wave or speak, but they wave on their bikes. Who/what are you wavers waving at? The rider? The person? The bike? Is that where this so-called "brotherhood" is --- just because somebody's riding a bike? I call BS hypocrisy. Discuss!

 

Next time you pass these ones, flip them off instead and see what sort of reaction it gets.......hey, maybe I will try that this morning with complete strangers. LOL

 

Lmao! Thats funny ****!

 

Yep, that's the answer right there. It's almost like being bi-polar for some people.


cheers

 

Bwaaaaaahahahaha! Good one! Bet if I gave them the finger, I'd be able to get them to speak to me!

 

There could be a few reasons.
Are you earing a helmet and glasses?
He doesn't recognize you off the bike.
He's waving at the motorcyclist
He's waving because of the Harley connection

If I'm waving to another biker, it's usually the cyclist connection. Usually hard for me to recognize the rider.

 

So if I'm one of the nicest people you'd ever meet, would give you the shirt off my back, would pull over to help a stranded motorist, a non child molesting, law-abiding citizen, but didn't wave when I passed you on the bike, it wouldn't matter to you, and you wouldn't think anything of it? People get all bent out of shape because some of us don't wave. Just not feeling the "brotherhood" here. (Not "you" in particular. It's a collective "you.")

 

Can we see a picture of you dressed to ride and one dressed for grocery shopping?

 

I happened to stop at the grocery store on the way home from a ride one day earlier this spring or summer. (I don't keep my bike at my house, so I was in the car.) In the store with a Harley shirt on. Walked past this guy & he never spoke, even with my Harley bar & shield as plain as the nose on my face. If he saw the shirt and didn't speak, shouldn't that be grounds for dismissal from the brotherhood?

 

I flash my ****.
