Thumbs up I have never experienced this before..

the weather was beautiful and i took the kat out for a ride from 10am till around 2'ish. I had a blast i went all around towns and just rode my bike around. From what i noticed everyone with a bike waved at me. It was awesome that other fellow bikers acknowledging you!




also... total random people would come up to me and would just bull**** about the bike and ask me a bunch of random question.

Yeah, the waving and comradery associated with a motorcycle is one of the best things about it.

It's crazy when you wave to a little kid looking at you on your bike. It makes their day.

Must be somethin' to have or ride a bike that costs as much as a house. Maybe if u get on one of those $150,000 metric bikes they'll wave at you then .

Most riders will wave. Have some fun, wave from a car most will wave back. Drive with your arm out the window and do the low wave.

i like when little kids smile and wave (no i am not like Michael Jackson!)

as i pulled into my parking spot at my t/h the other day, the guy across the street and his little 2 yr old are getting out of their car and i hear "hi motorcycle" "hi motorcycle" so i turned around and waved back and he giggled and put his head into his dad's leg....dad told me he LOVES motorcycles and has a fit when they see one on the road!

too cute

i think i will forever hold a grudge on all harley owners..... there all a-holes in my eye.... At local bike meets they always try to talk crap to me and my freinds since we ride sport bikes calling it toys, saying when are we going to grow up and get a real bike....

Women harley owners are worse about talking smack about sport bikes. I mean non of the other cruiser people are bad about it just harley

If it wern't for Mr. Harley and Mr. Davidson we'd be surfing porn instead of discussing bikes on this forum. I don't think you can stereotype all Harley owners as *******s. That's like saying all sportbike riders are squids, squid.
