I've only bought one new bike and I thought it was a big waste of money. Much better values buying used if you are careful.

80+ posts and the motorcycle haters haven't come out yet. I must say I am pleasantly suprised.

Nothing annoys me more, when I'm out riding my tricycle, than a motorcycle driver roaring by waving at me like they're my mom.

Yeah I know I look cool on my sweet ride ... but come on, what's up with that?

Ok I must admit.....every once in a while when driving home (I live at the top of a hill) if I saw someone struggling to get up the hill I would pretend to be "pedaling" up the hill on my motorcycle.

Note: I only did this if I recognized the person.

Funny you mention the wave.

For all the toughness so many bikers try to portray, I never saw anything mentioned more than the wave,who to wave to, how to wave, blah blah blah when I was reading a popular biker forum.

Is it two fingers straight down? Do you wave to Japanese bikes? Do you wave when your hand is on the clutch? Do you stop waving at bike rallies or wave at 400,000 fellow bikers?

Totally lame and although I love my HD, I will wave to, talk to, help and try to respect ANYONE out riding and enjoying the lifestyle.

I give a few fingers to anyone regardless of what they ride but some on cruisers don't wave back (I'm on a sportbike).

I give the low wave to everyone, HD or Honda, Cruiser or Crotch Rocket, American, Japanese, German, whatever. I liked the link, Mark.
