Rode to work today on my zx12r. Street Glide down with stripped shifter shafts and leaking front brake line.
Anyway on ride home passed a lot of bikes( about 1 hr ride). Thru my hand out,no acknowledgement from any Harleysville riders. The metrics waved, but not the ***** Harley riders.
They don't know me or what else I ride, kinda pissed me off. Sorry asses probably can't even service their own bikes.
Okay, I'm done.

I'm a '***** Harley rider' that doesn't wave. I don't discriminate as far as who I don't wave to - I don't wave to anybody. Don't much care if your (OP) feelings are hurt either, and I make no apologies.
I've been waved to from across 5 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic by morons that think they HAVE to wave to everything on two wheels. One of them was probably you (OP).
Stop whining and ride your bike.
Now I'm done.

However, exactly! I passed a guy I knew going the opposite direction in a busy roundabout. When I run into him later he gets all pissy about "What! Can't even wave at a friend?" $hit! I didn't even see him, not like I was going to wave anyway, traffic, roundabout and all, but sheesh, call the cops and report me, why dont ya?

Speaking about waving to other bikers I passed another biker one day and I laughed my *** off. He had this big night colored hand that was mounted on what looked like a spring clipped on the left side of his handlebars. He kept both hands on his bars and this big hand was waving side to side as he passed me. He obviously was sick and tired of waving to everyone so this was an easy solution. I don't know if he made it or bought it but it sure made me laugh.

I could market it, and call it the "Biker Buddy"
