I wave to all on two wheels, and to cages that wave at me
no reason to try to stick to someone else in my book.

If you think you are superior because you chose HD, that's your issue. It's all good.
i agree a bike is a bike

The Goldwing is the one that looks like a spaceship.

I personally wave if it's a Harley sometimes Goldwings, but never to crotch rockets.

Nope.

I don't wave to anyone. Doing my part to discourage this contrived, silly, and retarded riding ritual.

"Look! It's another person riding! Let's wave!! HI!!! We ride, too!!! Goody! They waved back!!!! I wave at all bikers!!!!!!"

Puss.

Who the frick cares. I know you're riding, I got eyes. I can see your frickin bike approaching.

Join BAW (Bikers Against Wavers).

I don't give two buttcheeks what you ride, I ain't wavin' to you.

Enjoy riding your Harley, but stop waving! You'll only encourage more.

Just doin' mah duty.

I wave sometimes, sometimes I don't. Depends how much crap I have going on at the time. Like changing gears, scratching my n*ts. Who cares? Wave if you want, or don't. There's more stuff to think about than what someone rides if they deserve a wave or not. Get a life. Jr.
