What's Really Wrong About Not Waving?
The only connection we have is that we're both on 2 wheels. People driving cars like mine don't wave when they pass. 865 mile round trip to Skyline Drive this past weekend, and I waved back at some kids on the side of the road, a guy who waved to me from his front porch, a farmer on a tractor, some people at a yard sale, but not to bikes going the opposite direction. I met a family on Skyline Drive, from The Netherlands. The kids thought my bike was the most awesome thing they'd ever seen, and I asked them if they wanted to sit on it, and have their dad take a picture. They were thrilled. I'm a nice guy, and I'd pull over to help a stranded biker, or make somebody's day by letting him sit on the bike for a pic, but I just don't wave at other bikes. Why is that so offensive to people? And if it offends you, it's nothing personal. Guess I just don't get the waving thing.

To me, not a big deal. Don't wanna wave, then don't. Or wave if you want to.
Anyone who gets butt-hurt over not getting waved at really needs to "get a life" as the saying goes.
Personally, I wave. But it doesn't bother me in the least if someone don't wave back. I'm still gonna enjoy my ride!

What !!?? Didn't the dealer tell you of your responsibility to wave as an HD owner ??
Well,.........you are supposed to wave as long as you purchased chaps and fingerless gloves, otherwise no one will wave back.
Will not.......Will not.
Dealer has to prove that the non-waving created the problem in the first place.
