Is it because i ride a Busa? are you intimidated?

I wave if they wave first for the harley guys, always wave to the sportbike guys
NO scooters or bicyclists:rulez: I'm way to cool to be seen doing that:rofl:

I have more issues with guys on smaller bikes not wanting to ride with me because i ride the "fast" bike then people waving. Kinda sucks cause i will ride with anyone, harley guys, 600 guys as long as you want to ride i'm in. Guess people assume i'm too good to invite me or something???
 
i used to wave at riders but got burned too many times. if a rider waves i return the favor, otherwise it's another vehicle passing by. :whistle:
 
I usually give a wave but harley guys just stare like a deer in the head lights. I shake my head and laugh. We have the worst harley guys up here and it goes way beyond the wave. They won't even acknowledge you unless your on 3 tons of chrome with leather streamers with 75 hp and a sleeveless shirt with your stomach touching your knees.

Some day you will come to the conclusion that you will wave, or not wave. If a knuckle dragger waves back at you, good. If not, maybe his knuckles hurt. Don`t sweat it.
 
Or you could look at it this way...
If a woman going down the road has her boobs out (i.e. the busa) are you really gonna waste time looking at her face (i.e. the rider) ??

:whistle:
 
Haven't you heard of the Harley death wobble, from what I understand the Harley has a tendency to wobble out of control at any given moment. I believe that most Harley riders are scared $hitle$$ of taking a hand off the bars in an effort to wave back.
 
I got tired of people not waving back at me whenever I wave first. Now I don't wave unless they do it first. Childish? Maybe..but I don't care! :laugh:
 
I think anyone riding a BUSA should ONLY wave at other people riding a BUSA...

I think thats what I gonna do from now on...start the revolution...what the hell we've been nice enough for years and years and years...to people with substandard motorcycles it's time to reclaim our position atop the food chain...who's with me:laugh::thumbsup:

After all you don't see lions waving hi at gazelles before they eat 'em do you?:whistle::laugh:

Hey! I always wave to other riders when I'm on the Vespa.

The only time I don't wave is if I'm not comfortable due to road conditions, turning, traffic, etc. or if I truly don't see the other rider. I almost never get a return wave when I'm on the Vespa (even when I'm passing the HDs). And HDs seldom wave even when I'm on the R6.

Here's a gross generalization of Harley riders in our area: They all think they're Easy Rider and way too cool to notice those J** bikes or Euro bikes. Most are weekend warrior/posers and are riding HDs because of the image they think it portrays. They have the top dollar HD brand chaps and vests and 6' tassels on the handle bars. But no helmet because they're waaaaaaay too cool for that.

I typically wave at anyone and 99% wave back. Rarely snubbed by Harley riders and when it does happen I dwell on it for all of 1 second. I have never been flipped off (that wouldn't go over too well).

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but after 25 years of waving I'm personally sick of it and wish it would go away. I draw the line while in traffic or large divided highways. Sorry but you're not getting a return wave from me when you're 200'+ feet away or surrounded by cars and semis.

On top of that I own a Corvette which also involves an idiotic wave. Those discussions revolve around which generation thinks they're too good to wave at others. C2 guys think they own the only real Corvettes, C5 guys think anything less isn't worthy of a wave, C6 guys just don't know yet because they're noobs, C3 guys feel their cars are the epitome of the HP wars....
Of course those things are never said by an owner of a specific generation. It's just the butt hurt guys making up reasons why another generation didn't wave back at them.

How about some people just want to enjoy their ride and their own business?

When I started street riding 30 years ago in a smaller town everybody waved at everybody on 2 wheels, it was pretty cool. But times have changed, people have changed, and the wave is now an anochrism of another era for the most part. I only return waves anymore :whistle:
