I come from a state where we have, in my opinoin, the rudest, coldest, heartless drivers around.... and out of the 50 riders I see on a weekend, only 3 or 4 don't wave back, and its usually cause they're busy, or obviously new.


Weird how California works.

it seems like here that the only riders who dont wave back are the inner city sportbike riders....

simple arithmetic here to many on this board harley ownership= rude sob who does not wave back.  heh usually every where i rode to whether i was on my hd or my gs hd riders were the first to wave, rockets were among the last eh i personally do not care whether someone wavwes back or not. if they do, great. if not, oh well lol,
and phaedrus those electras do not vibrate like many believe. yes they do, but then again dso does about 90% of every bike out there at some point. every thwin does thumpers even more so. eh its just the nature of the beast. hd's well amny of them anyway are soo easy to ride one handed that waving lol is quite easy.  ah well.

i dont hardly wave on my kz cause with that skinny a$$ front tire, lol it sooooooo wants to fall into a turn lol the gr650 should be a lil better. my sporty it had a skinny tire like the kz but for some reason it is not as prone to "fall over" im about 8 mos. away from buying my next bike. cant decide whether anopther hd or a buell lightning. or something else. baah dammit i did it again. i apologise for the rant disguised as a threadjack   

I like Cali people... A little  most of em, but cool nonetheless. Nothin against HD riders either, they seem to be a friendly bunch for the most part. I bet the HD riders don't wave cuz they too old to move they hands like that while trying to steer a HD. The sportbike riders, well, if I was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and a helmet I'd be a cautious rider, too.

The vast majority of people around here wave though, and every one I've met has been cool.  to everyone 

i owned my jeep for 2 years(sold it for the gs) and wrangler owners take the wave pretty serious so i did my best to wave or wave back at any jeeper's that took the time to wave. and most times the driver isn't even looking they're just waving at the jeep.

so when i get confident enouph to remove my hands from the bar to wave i'll carry that tradition. be it sport bike or not. and being from CT and living in NC people in the south are a lot nicer excluding all military towns.
