WTF is pointing at the ground about? When I first started riding it was fun to acknowledge another rider with a wave. Seems like most riders have changed this to a point to the ground and I haven`t been briefed. I`m really curious about this.
I think we've have had at least 6, maybe 8 whole days where it's been too wet & cold to ride! I'd bet it never got past 68 degrees on those days! I HATE WINTER TOO!!
PS: Wave most of the time, depends how much I'm feel'in like a "Bad A$$"
well Soos, I would have to agree with all the other members from the midwest... this blows! I really want to ride my scoot, but the salt and the cold will keep me in... and at least my bike is stored at the dealer so I dont have to look at it cause that would really **** me off!!!!!
Those of you that can ride, enjoy and keep the rubber side down!
Rode for the first time in 2 months last saturday 45 degrees, today 2 in of ice and sleet, all I do is stay on the forum and find things I think I need and spend $$. Been practiceing my "lo wave" thing tho....
I "point" all the time, most of the time they "point" back except crotch rocket riders, they will drag their fingers because they are laying down forward on their B*lls.
I used to wave at fellow riders until the first time I sat along the road broke down,not one of them stopped.
That sucks HUGE. I have been just stopped along the side of the road, even at rest stops and had riders stop and ask if everything was cool or if I needed help. I have done the same. Just last week I came across a guy stopped looking at his bike using a pair of pliers. I carry a decent set of tools, asked if he needed anything and he was very grateful. I like to think what goes around comes around. But back to the OP's post, I usually wave and it is quite common in these parts. There are those, usually on custom choppers that are just tool cool so I usually sign them off. Even sport bikes wave in these parts.
I did a little waving last week, on my first ride of the year. It's always the low wave, specially to those Beemer, Goldies, and Sport Bikers. I wave at everyone. Even the scooters. We have a major University in the closest town, and there's a lot of scooter commuters. I always wave at them, and they get the biggest smile ever, and wave back like they were on a float in the parade. Life is good, and it'll be better when spring officially gets here and we can ride every day.
I'm with ya boys. I've managed to avoid the garage for the most part, but lately, I can't stay outta there. Whether it's installing the new speakers, applying Mother's "Back to Black" to the inner fairing, or just sitting in the saddle with the ipod going, I can't wait to put the knees in the wind!
