I have a harley....

I wave to everyone
Since I am in a traditional motorcycle club and ride not only sport bikes and a harley.. I got a interesting perspective on this..

I find myself on my bike with my MC cut on getting waved by all riders.. Without the cut.. mostly only sport bikes.... on my harley- by everyone..

I don't get why alot of people on cruisers think they are too cool to wave...

It's a respect thing so I will wave to anyone that waves to me.. however I do not wave to Trikes and scooters
'
thats just me :D

As I ride both kinds of bikes.. I notice that alot of ppl wont wave to sportbikes on cruisers.. and I think there dicks...

I wave to all sport/sport-touring bikes and they generally wave back.
I only wave back to Harleys and Cruisers if they wave first.
Safe bet :)

First, I do and don't mind. Second, I had an Aprilia Atlantic 500.. and a silverwing, both of which have a higher top end than this bike, also, really are you too good to wave at a scooter? Why? :confused:


I went farther on the Atlantic than on this bike :eek: and was more comfortable!

My first bike was a 275cc scooter and plenty of people still waved at me, so I still return the favor when I see scooters.

still way better than those lame Can Am three wheelers. Man I can't stand those things. If you're too inept to ride a Goldwing, and I've seen some pretty frail old people on those, than don't pretend you can actually ride by getting one of those things. Nut up, or get a convertable.
You wanna tell my paraplegic friend that owns one to nut up or shut up?
