|  Motorcycle cops and the biker community
I'm sure some of the forum members are motorcycle cops so I'll take a shot at a naive question I can't ask anyone else. I'm newly endorsed and I love the feeling of the biker community about as much as I love riding. In that spirit I make a point of waving all bikers unless I don't notice them in time (which I take as a sign I wasn't being aware enough of my surroundings). In doing that I have waved several times at cops on bikes, I was almost surprised the first few times to see they responded in kind. A couple times this happened while I was speeding and I got the wave back just the same. So... Is there some kind of more open and tolerant relation between bikers and officers on two wheels or I'm just tripping? When I was a kid (in France) I was dreaming of being an American motorcycle cop and ride a Harley all day... I didn't manage to pull that off, but I have to say that these guys waving back to me went a long way in making me think they are every bit as cool as I thought when I was a kid. |
