Hi, I just bought my first Harley and I need to learn what is the proper etiquette while riding. For instance, if I am approaching a stop light and a bike is allready sitting there waiting for the light to change, do I pull up beside the person or stop behind him?
Also do most bike riders wave to eachother when passing?
Now for the big question. The bike I bought is a 2002 Sportster 883 Custom. A lot of people refer to them as bitches bikes. Well I am a 37 year old male. I bought the 883 to save money and plan to eventually do the 1200 conversion myself. This is also just a starter bike for me since I have not ridden a bike in 17 years. What I want to know is are the guys going to give me a lot of **** for riding a 883 Sportster?
These may seem like dumb questions but I really would like to learn and not look so stupid when I get out there.
