A nice article on "The Wave"

I think GS'ers might get it a little more than some people.
Rich, RIP.

The part where they stopped and gave a rider an old pair of gloves gave me a nice warm feeling inside. :)

I also thought I was the only "idiot" that stopped and turned to look at my bike.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Excellent article, should be placed on FAQ or main board.

Excellent article. I finally got my first returned wave this morning. From a sport-biker in shorts and tshirt no less.

Awesome article.  Thanks for posting it.  Sometimes I go in my garage, crack open a beer and stare at my bike.  Beats the tv.

Riding on the left we normally nod but recently riding in Europe I got to do the wave, I was quite alarmed when, in Germany, quite a lot of cruiser riders replied using both hands making a pointing gesture "east & west"

Awesome.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
