Nice to have a Harley wave back!

[Armitage Shanks]

The old joke was that the only reason Harley riders don't wave at you is they're too scared too take their hands off the the bars.....even a helmet nod is rare well, have to say I'm impressed . Got a few nod's and hand's up today coming back from Hanmer , Excellent and responded accordingly ....

Or is it the Bike they're waving at ?

K6 Hayabusa - Black and K8 Hayabusa -Black with Yoshi's ....Be nice to know

[reofix]

you get what you give... the "i,m so fuckin cool i dont wave bullshit" is a sad indictment on harleys marketing crapola

[98tls]

For the....fuck so many ive forgotten ...time wtf is it with this waving shit,after 30 something years of riding if id waved at every guy on a bike my farkin arm would have fallen off,its like pimples some burst some dont.

[Virago]

I ride a crusier. How the fuck do I get a sprotsbike rider to wave back...? :confused:

[AlBundy]

Can't be because of the bikes... We all know, only Squids ride GSXR's...

I've been watching the training video (well, Once Were Warriors) over and over again, but I still can't get it quite right.

I think I'm too white...

then thats that then.....i'm farked....the old buggers will swear an curse at me for not waving anymore...the bmw riders will wonder why....the newbs will post more "why don't sprot bike riders wave" thread's, an more chickens will die for the sake of our bellys....but i will not waver...

[hmurphy]

I don't care what the bike is, I wave or nod. It's wicked to see other riders out there enjoying the weather! If I don't get a wave back or a nod, no harm done. I had a handful of Harley riders wave today, I warned them of cops I saw too.

[98tls]

[Virago]

Hey! I've just had a great idea...

How about we develop a special KB wave...? :lol:

[hmurphy]

All good mate, I figured you were. Mostly everyone is sarcastic on KB! Wasn't trying to come off snarky. Sorry

[stify]

Hey! I've just had a great idea...

maybe you should get a harley instead...would be just like a "special" wave :wari:

[scumdog]

I waved to yah... you didn't wave back :(


then again you were in a cage... :scratch:

[H00dz]

I wave..... its a personal choice thing, just like the bikes we ride........ each to its own

Dont start on the KB wave theres already an official wave (Spank Me Authorised I think) although I thinks its impossible to regonise let alone do when yor riding

[stify]

Hmmm...

Would that help me with that "upwards nod", d'ya think...?

only one thing comes to mind......Y M C A......:blink:

[Rob Taylor]

You guys need to ride a Harley some day and see how bloody hard it is to get other riders to wave...:bye: Even the Harley riders dont wave to Harleys:yes:Just let it go boys and get on with the business at hand "RIDING":wari:

[Armitage Shanks]

I Guess the look of a Busa's frontal parts approaching you must scare you Cruisers into submission and the wave is an acknowledgment of the aforementioned ? Hmmm

[Virago]

I waved to yah... you didn't wave back :(


then again you were in a cage... :scratch:

Pish.

When I'm in the cage, you don't expect me to wave to a biker, do you?

Peasant...!

[98tls]

I Guess the look of a Busa's frontal parts approaching you must scare you Cruisers into submission and the wave is an acknowledgment of the aforementioned ? Hmmm Or possibly the site of such a whale coming toward one means the wave was more "keep that lard arse thing in your own lane please",ive often mistaken approaching Busas for TLRs but nope there even uglier.:shifty:

[Virago]

Crusier riders have bigger "frontal parts". Proven fact...:rolleyes:

[stify]

Crusier riders have bigger "frontal parts". Proven fact...:rolleyes:

"frontal parts" should read as "belly's":Punk:

[raftn]

Oh no...............another waving thread.............ground hog day here we come.

[rocketman1]

Yes I notice that only 1% of Harley riders wave back, and i think that is only when I maybe have mistaken the Harley for a Japper Cruiser!!
Anyway I think I may just buy a Harley one day just to go around waving to real bikers. Brake the mould so to speak, and laugh try and break the reality.
I passed a bunch of Harley's the other day going the other way, about 40 of them none waved except for 1 biker in the middle of the pack gave me a wave, well done I thought, had laugh to myself.
It really comes down to the tough guy image thing, gangs and all that you ride a Harley your too cool to wave at any body that rides anything else but a Harley, its sad but I dont let it worry me at all, its all their problem not mine. It shouldnt worry you either, I wave still wave at Harley riders, I think God does love them too. Someone has to.

[bart]

Ha ha ha. I find it very amusing, because no bastard waves at me on my road legal dirt bike (even sports bike riders, and I've owned a few of those). I must be lower than pond scum. Funny thing is................I couldn't give a f*ck.

[scumdog]

Fuck off, what is a 'real biker' ya tosser???

Bloody trolls.

[rocketman1]

Sorry dudey I dont like knocking any other bikers, I apologize.
Talking about Tossers, what do think that most sport riders think when Harley Riders never wave back, ....cant think... it arrrrggg....starts with T

Damn ...how the hell did I miss this thread :bash:

Yep I am one tough 'guy' and i am way toooooo cool to wave at anything because I am far too busy being a poser :yes:

[Ally67]

Yeah I got the hang of that easy :woohoo:

Motocross helmet @ open road speeds.

Gettin the chin back downs a bit of an effort though:gob:

[DarkLord]

I got waved at by a whole group of Harleys a few weeks back...I was riding the desert road heading South and it was f$%^#%**&%$#ing cold and wet, and about 20 Harley/cruiser riders came past me heading North, and saw me ploughing through the weather on my yellow 250cc Hyosung....

I'm thinking their waves were either out of pity or them saying "hey, there's someone else crazy enough to be out riding on a day like this!"

:cold:

How the fuck did you manage to warn them that the constabulary was in close proximity whilst on a motorcycle passing in the opposite direction??

[Lissa]

Let me see, hmmm well if you are a Patched Gang member and you are riding around on your Harley with or without your mates do you really think they give a shit about waving to others? Esp Jap Sport Bike riders who are riding around in their expensive racing leathers even though they probably have only ever done a track day, and are on their way to a cafe for a Latte and a gourmet burger? :lol: I think you will find they think you are all gay and soft.

(I dont think you are all gay though) :dodge:

Other wise my man has a Harley, we wave only cause we want the world to see that we WILL not be sterotyped, or labelled so bloody wave back you. :sunny:

[Cajun]

Damn ...how the hell did I miss this thread :bash:

Yep I am one tough 'guy' and i am way toooooo cool to wave at anything because I am far too busy being a poser :yes:

Hey you tough harley rider

not once
but TWICE

I have had patch members wave back at me, but they are more likey to wave when i am on the aprilia than the gixer.

[Lissa]

I should actually edit that: Not all Patched Harley riders are in GANGS but in Clubs, but are now classed as Gangs.

Best I stop wearing my KB shirt when on the Harley then :innocent:

[scumdog]

Well I waved at quite a few sprotsbikes today on the way back from the Magpie Madness - so should get a shit-load of approving posts here from them "was waved to by a Harley rider today' etc etc.

I'm intrigued....
