Aha - I've seen you both parked there. I service all the Fire Alarms in the science buildings.

I be waving to all, unless I am banked hard over in a corner or sim
ilar

To wave or not to wave, that is the great Biker Question

I also noticed that around my area, there seems to be alot of mid age guys going through mid life crisis and buy themselves a 1000cc bike. These middle age geezers can hardly ride these bikes let alone wave at ya. Is it me or you guys notice it?

Nor me, knowing what an old fart I am I voluntarily restricted my bike to 888cc

When I was one of those kids in the back of cars looking at the bikers, I don't think I waved.

I was too busy drooling over the bike and watching it glide over the road. I was in awe, and most probably looked like a halfwit...

Thats why I've ended up going for my license. I just love watching bikes on the open road, esp when they suddenly just zip past with no effort...

Mine's 1130.... why don't we talk again when you're my age and see what you're still riding... if you're still riding

The cool thing about being had on by young fellas is the smug knowledge that you've been where they are and they'll come to where you are soon enough. That'll learn 'em.

If this doesnt make sense blame it on the booze

Oh yes. As my Dad said lo those many years ago "Experience will be your best teacher son, but I enjoy myself watching you learn the hard way" :-)

Can't fault your logic there - Harley owners are indeed not bikes.

nope... personally I have neither wheels, nor tyres, nor anything mechanical (perhaps he is referring to future hip replacements and pacemakers though

)
