Childish Riders
Sometimes people are just plain funny.
Out riding in the snow flurries the other day. Just puttering around. Two other riders come onto the road, which was rather surprising. The front rider on an Electra Glide, the rear rider on a Wing.
Gave them a quick wave. Apparently that was a bad mistake. They had been staring at me, but instantly broke contact as soon as I gave that wave.
At the next traffic light they pulled up beside me. And like a couple of bratty school children, spent their entire time there turned away from me, staring at the shoulder of the road.

Wave or not, it matters little to me. Some folk are friendly, others are not.
But to go to the effort of scooting around on your seats in order to turn your backs squarely to me? Really? They did not have an easy time of it either, as the light cycle took several minutes. Ever try to hold a bike up while sitting twisted sideways in the seat? It's not comfortable or easy!
My son used to do that when he was little. Stick his lower lip out too, and cross his arms. Couldn't see the faces of these two, but as hard as they were staring down at the curb, their lower lips might have been stuck out.
I dunno, might have been a club thing. They were both boutique riders, with perfectly matched bikes, helmets, jackets and pants. Didn't recognize the name of the club, but I did wonder if the name was intentially able to be misinterpreted. My leathers are well worn from many years of riding, and my helmet doesn't color coordinate. Maybe that offended the heck out of their sense of esthetics.
