Just this morning I waved at an old lady riding on a electric wheel-chair taking her poodle for a walk !

She waved back and smiled.

She kinda had that look in here eye that she wished that she was there on the back of my bike riding free in the breeze. Probably like she used to do 50 years ago.

I wave at all riders regardless of type of bike they ride, of course that does not include mopeds or mini bikes. But normally get waves from all riders that I wave at, some dont, but that may not be their thing...

When I drive my Dodge Ram I wave only to Dodge trucks.....but when I ride my bike I only wave to Screamin Eagle Street Glides.....
Yea waving seems a waste of time to me so I simply turn my head to the right and pretend I didn't see them...but never wave to "Metric" bikes..........I'm just not feeling it...
Does that mean I am an a$$hoe.....mom said I would grow up to be a big one.....

Do you wave at everyone when you are walking thru a store? Wave at every car driver when you are driving a car? wave at every beer drinker you see when you are drinking a beer?
You think I act toough and bad because I don't wave at someone I don't know, who would probably sit down next to me at a table I was at first(in a restaurant)....or heck, probably stand at the urinal next to me (instead of at least one away) and start talking to me....oh hell, he might as well gonna ask...if he can hold it for me.....the answer is no.
