I've been riding a metric bike the past four years and only recently got my first HD, but until I read this thread I never realized that some folks are selective as to who they wave to based on what they ride. Wow, bummer.

For cryin' out loud! Your knees are in the breeze ain't they? If you can't wave while cruising on your bike, when can you? Spread the joy. Just keep that [sm=hiya.gif]big s**t eatin' grin on your face and wave. [sm=hiya.gif]

Wave?? I too busy watching out for some Dumba$$ talking on their cell, changing CDs or just not seeing bikes in general to worry about other bikers. I don't know I guess I didn't buy a scooter in hopes others will notice me and wave, bought it to relax and enjoy the ride and NOT worry about anything (other than getting run over)......beside I agree its kinda gay.

Lots of responses.....I don't ride simply in hopes of getting lots of waves. My whole point was just friendliness in general. Too bad waving or gesturing is viewed as "gay" by some folks. Oh well.....Merry Christmas and ride safe.

Found this ona creotch rocket forum:

*Ten MORE Reasons Why Harley Owners Won't Wave At Other Bikers*
Afraid it will invalidate warranty.
Leather and studs make it too hard to raise arm.
Refuses to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.
Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.
Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.
Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by those rice-burner manufacturers.
Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.
Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet.
They're jealous that after spending $30,000,they still don't own a BMW K1200 LT
