I also wave at everything on two wheels, LEO, and little kids with their nose pressed up to the window "looking" - never fails to get a big smile...

In his opinion, a "true Harley rider" is someone that isn't a "poser or a RUB or a Newbie." A "true Harley rider" to him is someone that wears their colors whenever they ride, doesn't need a windshield, and doesn't wear a helmet.
We're still friends ... I just prefer to ride with someone less discriminatory.

Ah another thread on da wave. Can we really have too many of these?? LOL. Funny thing I noticed this past winter. When wearing my new modular ff helmet very few Harley riders waved back. When wearing no helmet or my shorty most Harley riders waved back. A little immature I thought. But who cares.

Same experience here. Guess some folks just prefer to ride alone. Heck, I wave at dogs and horses. Probaby ought to keep my hands on the bars more!

I toot my horn at livestock in the pastures but they never seem to wave back, just stare. Probably wishing they could come along.

I, for one, do not think that you are immature just because you wear a helmet, although I do not wear one.

If you wave at me I'd wave at you. But I wouldn't go out of my way to wave first unless I knew who you where. Then again if I knew you and you where riding a Honda 250 Rebel I'd probably point and laugh my a@@ off.

RE: The Harley "wave"
I find myself waving at lifted vehicles and motorcycles no matter what I am driving. Some of the looks I get are funny. When I was on my Intruder, one of the guy's called it a girlie bike, I asked one of the other guy's if his bike compared to the Intruder makes my Intruder a girkie bike, does my Ultra Classic compared to his makes his a girlie bike. Same with my XJ, see someone with a TJ lifted and they turn there noses down at it, I wonder what would happen if we were on the same trail and they couldn't climb what my XJ can. People are funny aren't they.
