I think some people a BSing here. When I ride my Harley I get waved at by other HD riders 95% of the time. When I ride my other bike I rarely get waved at by any HD riders. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just an observation.

Twasn't me. LOL I have no problem waving at anybody, but I do sometimes wait to see if they are getting ready to wave at me or not.

That must be catching on. I've seen more than one dude around here with an extremely loud scooter (like with straight pipes), leather jacket, half shell helmet and goggles. Wicked!
