Top Ten Reasons Why Gold Wing Riders Dont Wave
10. Wasn't sure whether other rider was waving or making an obscene gesture.
9. Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip.
8. Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm.
7. Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him.
6. The espresso machine just finished.
5. Was actually asleep when other rider waved.
4. Was in a three-way conference call with stockbroker and accessories dealer.
3. Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen.
2. Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature, and satellite navigation system.
1. Couldn't find the "auto wave back" button on dashboard.

Speed can be had here...ahh Speeding can be had here. Leos are thin but can get into supplying government wealth. We acutually have paved roads with one or two straight stretchs...LMAO.
Sorry we digress....

Excellent Post and have to agree with a lot of the reasons... Saw a Pair of Goldwings yesterday riding in perfect sync knew better than to wave but their noses were so high think some snot blew my way ...

Last year I did the March of Dimes ride here in St. Louis. A really nice old man pulled up next to me on his Goldwing. Good gosh. He had velvet cross hatched stitching. Seats heated up. Heck - I think he said his wifes vibrated. Controls. Shoot - he had more controls than a cockpit of an airplane. I am sitting there on my Sporty - only gauge I have is the speedometer. He went on and on. Heck, I think he had A/C and was brewing a pot of coffee. I was never so happy to see his line leave in my life. He was nice - but annoying. I had nothing to say - "yep I got two wheels, a seat, handlebars" but beyond that - my bike is just a bike. My perfect Sportster.

Great post... hilarious!
I wave at everyone, heck... even young'un's on dirt bikes!
I figure when I was that young it would've thrilled me for a guy on a big Harley to wave at me. Besides, they may grow up to be a Harley owner one day too!
