why wave after dark?
weather was REAL nice down here before it GOT HOT.
and all fair weather bikers were out, riding thier shiny sport bikes, HD, and choppers to the Mall or Starbucks or where ever people with chopper payments go.
anyways, they are all waving at each other after dark, seen it from my truck,
was like, what the heck?
are they just trying to reach thier quota of waves to get thier RUB card signed off? does the HOG club have a quota for a pin, like the boy scouts?
so finally, got away from wife and got me in some riding after dark, when it cooled off, and sure enough, saw a few guys wave at me in the dark, barely see it as they go bye.
wassup with that?

I usually have a death grip on the bars because I dont see too good in the dark. Especially if I'm wearing my too-cool-for-school shades cause I forgot my clear ones.

It's a safety thing. If your hands touch while waving, you're too close............ cause it's totally un-cool to remove the sun glasses after dark

I have a momentary switch hooked up to my headlight and am able to send messages using Semaphore.

If you see me waving after dark, don't wave back. I'm actually trying to wave off all the fukin' bugs that are out. I never remember them being this bad.

I bought some new ones today... they have the foam around the eyes, but you also get clear and amber lenses. You get a little pouch to carry the lenses with you. Of course, I will either lose the lenses or forget to carry them. My old shades broke and they were out of them. The new ones aren't as dark, so I'm kinda bummed about it.

I got the Bobster set with dark, mirrored, yellow and clear lenses. And removeable foam. Changing out the lenses is a PITA so I bought another set of clears.
