I'm afraid to wave at non HD riders for fear of voiding my warranty.......

There should be an entire website dedicated to waving....If I had $1 for each waving thread, I could cover a few rounds for the entire site and retire...

Of course, I'll wave to everyone during my retirement parade!!!

I used to wave, but now every time I see another bike I start to think about it, is that a HD? should I wave? what if they don't wave back? should I give a low wave? Maybe a high wave?

By the time I am done, they have gone by and its too late...

I try to wave at all bikes, even mopeds, Heck, I waved at a little girl walking down the side walk and she gladly waved back, this not waving at 'non-harley', sportbikes, mopeds, whatever it is because its not a ***Harley Davidson*** sucks.....

We're out in the boondocks, everybody waves at everybody - bikes, pickups, cars, trucks - whatever. Just the friendly thing to do. Of course the traffic isn't exactly heavy, if you did the same thing in the city you'd have to bolt a plastic arm and hand on your bike.
