Ooops, didn't mean to jack a post...About the wave, about everyone in my area seems to wave except a couple of old whitebearded sourpuss Harley Riders. When I was on my HD, it sorta surprised a few of the crotchrocket kids, but then they started waving first! I am 68 yesterday, and I will still in some way acknowledge anyone on two wheels. Whether they return is up to them! And about the Harleys, well, I have been up and down, owned 5 in the last two years and they have an appeal I will never get over, but if I had to do a long trip and had a choice, it would be a 4 cyl japanese bike of some kind! Regards all!

I was a correctional officer for 7 miserable, sucky years. There is not a worse job on this earth. And it was not always the inmates that made it bad. I don't mean to jack the post either, so I will say that I do the wave and usually get a wave back. Even the guys that look like bandidos will wave even though I am not dressed in the local cruiser style. By that I mean I wear a silver modular helmet with built-in sun shield, mesh jacket and armored gloves, no matter the temperature. You would have to ride many miles here to come across another cruiser rider with a helmet, mesh, etc.
