NO  At the point at which you ride a trike you might as well just get  a convertible car

I found that the yuppy HD owners will wave,the real bikers give ya the finger,and the wanna be real bikers just ignore you.That's just in my local area,tho.

I return their waves.  but I return everyone's waves.  well i'll wave at them if their obviously crippled or something...sometimes you ride the only thing you can...

i hate the finger thing.  We're roll models you fucktards....

Yeah, if they wave first I wave.  And if it's an obviously disabled of very old person on a trike I wave.    I one fingered wave at anyone on a sport bike with no gear on though

the "nod" seems to be the go here with the sportsbikes.... ya gotta watch carefully sometimes it is more like a twitch, blink and ya miss it    I wave, doesn't bother me if they wave back or not, as someone else said it is all about karma  I'm just happy to be out there doing something I love....

first wave I got on the bike was the day I picked it up, riding up a 3 lane highway and this woman cager tries to take over my lane and the front of the bike with her.... I brake quite hard and continue along behind her, she waves and looks through her rear view mirror to apologise, so I waved back at her  ... what can I say...  I just picked up me bike and was happy

I dislike how most Harley riders don't wave to me. On the other hand, it was a new rider on a shiny new Harley who stopped and helped me out when I crashed.

Scooter people here are usually DUI cases with 3+ convictions.I just raise the front of my helmet and  my a$$ off.If it's a kid I just shake my head.However,if it's an older person just enjoying the good fuel mileage and a cruise around town,I give them the thumbs up.If they are next to me I chat sometimes.


OK on with the good stuff.I rode my bike to check it over after doing some adjusting.I pulled into a corner store next to an old rough harley.I walked in carrying my brain bucket.He asked me what I was riding.I said a piglet.After I checked out,and went out,he came out while I was gearing up to leave.He threw his leg over his bike sat down.He looked at me rather str8 faced,then said piglet?That ain't no harley,but it is a wee little thing.I just smiled and rolled out.His bike was freaking massive.The seat had to be 16 inches wide at the narrowest point,a foot and a half longer than my bike,and weight 800 pounds plus.All I knew for sure was it had a knuckle head engine,and need a wash.

I wave to everyone. If I don't it's because I am doing something else, occasionally its just not a good time to take a hand off the bars, or just didn't see you.

Posers on Harley's is the problem. Actual riders who have been riding for years may disdain someone else's choice in bikes, but respect that you are out there in the wind.

The nastiest crustiest most disreputable looking biker will be the first to offer a hand to a fallen rider without caring what he is on. Real riders belong to a broiherhood and the wave is our way of saying hello.

It's not harley riders or ricky racers or cruiser riders that don't wave it's the posers who haven't learned that we are a big family who fail to wave.

It's about respect.

Maybe GStwin members should adopt the "hello kitty" wave near the end of the vid!

Welcome dude.

Love the badger avatar.

I am rather fond of badgerbadger.com

Badgers?  The good part is the guy from Rejected.  "My spoon is too big.  My spoon is too big.  My spoon is too big!"  "I am a banana!"

If you have no idea, then you've missed out.  Go to http://www.bitterfilms.com/rejected.html.  It's easy enough to find in the internet.

I walk around doing the "my spoon is too big" reenactment all the time...kalee gets mad at me anytime I actually come across a big spoon...

Cheers Egaeus. hadn't seen that before 
Silly Hats Only is my fav so far tho.
