I'm not talking about someone sitting at a light (I understand that, if both hands are holding levers I head nod) I'm talking on city streets, etc. So, what I've started doing is to throw a wave out there and not look for the waveback. But frankly, I'm about to stop this little pleasantry. As ya'll can tell it is a peeve of mine. Now about not using blinkers.......

I agree...I'm starting to think that this whole wave thing is just plain silly.

Won't matter much longer anyway. There is a bill in congress (CA) that will ban cell phones in cars and hand waving on bikes. The only thing that is hanging it up is the clause about nad scratching while motoring.

No...in the case of the multiple scooter line up....just hold the wave untill the entire entourage passes by...and remember DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT..those "scooties" will turn on you like a band of Wolverines...I have seen it...it ain't pretty!!!

I have and will ride with people on the forum over the last two years. Seems the more they love to ride the more they get along with all riders.

Don't know any scooter riders but, have met a heck of a bunch of good people on different bikes than what I sell and ride. Many for that is all they could afford. I just can't find it in me not to show a kindness when one is given.

What's next only wave to Fatboy riders? People under 40? Only to people that ride red bikes?

Fellow named Paul wrote something a while back. I try to think of it each day. " Be ye kind one to another:" I would like to get that part right in my life before I check out.

advice from some who fell off his donkey on his head? only doofs and other people with faith would listen to that

Side note does anyone know how to get a big burned chunk of rubber off of pipes ... I accidently touched the pipe with my pink flipflops one the way to work this morning.................

they are not waving, they are fanning the air because of the smell of burning flip-flops

If there's two wheels and a good time being had, hell Yeah, I'll wave
