(I don't like slamming any bike because after all, someone does own it. It's their avenue to experience dual sport riding. I think it's more important to validate the rider for participating in the sport than being critical of his/her mount.) Truer words never said. I don't care if I run into someone on a moped, harley or a wing loaded to the gills. They're a motorcyclist and that 's all that matters to me. I wave and stop and BS if have the chance. Never know what you can learn from anyone on anything. People cutting down other people's rides don't impress me none. -- Best Regards & Happy Trails Andy Chesley @ 57 and ticking in Jennings in SW Louisiana Y2KLR650 @ 8+K sMiles 97 R11RA (Amiga) @ 16+K sMiles So Many Roads, So Little Time http://members.deltech.net/aches/

You're absolutely right! Why just yesterday I waved at a group of eight Harley riders as they passed opposite me, and it didn't bother me in the least that the uppity pricks wouldn't wave back. -- bierdo "Robert T. Heywood" wrote:

I have noticed that they tend to wave back when they're broke down aside the road. 8^) -- bierdo

I wave at all bikes. Something I learned from my Dad when I started riding 35 years ago. BTW, Dad's first of many bikes was back around 1925. He was still riding a 600 Yamaha into his mid 70's. I actually get quite a few waves back from the Harleys. The ones that hardly ever wave back are the crotch rockets. Another thing my Dad taught me was to stop and offer help if I see a bike stopped along side the road, which back in the "old" days was quite often. Last summer I was riding along and saw a Harley guy stopped so I turned around to see if he needed any help. Turns out his hands had gone numb from the vibrating and he was just taking a smoke break until the circulation started back up. He was about my age and we both had a good bs session going. It kind of made his day when I stopped to offer help. Several other bikes had passed right by. Don Detloff Fair Haven, MI A14
