I don't initiate a wave with anyone no matter what they're riding. On the other hand I'll always return a wave.

In case you weren't sure, waving at photographers on the Dragon is a very very bad idea.

Of course I do. I've had bikes other than Harley's and still have one.
I don't care what other people ride, and I don't care what they think of my bikes.

Sure. What do I care what brand of motorcycle they ride? Only time I don't wave, and never have is on a curve or in a situation where it would endanger myself or someone else.

I don't know if the gal in the picture on page 1 is actually waving. She may be merely trying to deflect some fresh air (much needed) down the front of that tank top.
