tank slappa
Yeah thats a REALLY OLD joke but in the case of some of those old models it really was vibrating to the point of waving being dangerous!Originally Posted by Oscar
I don't care, I have ALWAYS either nodded or waved to ANY bike, its about 'brotherhood/sisterhood'

I'd have to say that I think it's getting better. I'm starting to get more wave's back from harley riders. Except for the real bad arse's with patches and German helmets!!
Hardcore Biker
I rode back from up north last night saw plenty of bikes,about 6 harleys not one wave,all the other bikes waved,i,m on half a harley,i still wave.
It's OK...I've got a spare!
It simply comes from people that know f*ck all about bikes.
They only ride to pose and their bike is a fashion accessory.
On the other hand, there's no greater fun to be had than winding each other up about your ride, as long as you're all laughing with me, as I'm sure you are!

BACTERIA
All you Buell riding, harley defending people, you don't need to! I would hardly class a Buell as a Harley anyday.
Btw, doesn't anyone feel bad for ol' Mr Davidson? No-one calls an H-D a Davidson...

Well it's tough going eating an ice-cream, riding AND waving all at the same time - not just on Harleys

Immature and proud of it.
In the 60's there was still a lot of people who remembered the war and the atrocities the Japs committed. (and still haven't apologised for)
The old diggers wouldn't touch Jap goods if the lives depended on it.
Now we have no option.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

Jap Crap was quite a valid saying,the quality was worse than what we see from China now.It was an American who put the Japanese on the right track,coaching them to focus on quality rather than volume.He tried to preach his methods to the Yanks,but they ignored him....the Japanese didn't.
Motorcycles were one of the first Japanese products that we saw where there was real quality...I remember as a young teen ogling at those beautiful blue and chrome Yamaha 80s and 100s,but they were tiddlers and scorned by real bikers,just a kids bike.The bigger Jap bikes came with a rush,some people just didn't want to change.
I was sort of in both camps,I rode British bikes and was well into the scene,but I also bought my first Japanese dirt bike new in 1971....I led a traitorous double life.I feel kinda sad when I see riders hide bound and blinded by image,whether it's the ''Live to Ride'' or ''I'm a racer really'' type....both a narrow outlook on bikes.

Not meaning to offend any Americans/Yanks here but...
That's bloody typical of the Yanks. The "I know better" attitude. When will they learn that they know stuff all? Most vehicles that come out of America are big and heavy and in the rest of the world, it's not really necessary.
My mum drives a Holden V6 station wagon - the sole reason being that it's big enough to carry my drumkit. If I wasn't a drummer then she'd want something smaller, flash and probably sporty (Her dream car being a SAAB of some sort)
No I don't have any problem with Harley's or cruisers or any bike for that matter. I'm with other people here saying that as long as it's got 2 wheels and an engine...who cares!!! Yes I bag off about other makes of bikes etc but in all honesty - I ain't being serious. Cruiser's, Brit bikes and Italian bikes aren't my thing but if they're yours then go for it. I like my Jap bikes and I'm proud of that fact.

Still plenty of Yank Tanks from the 30s in daily use,try that with a Corolla in 60 yrs time.The Americans and British totally lost the plot in the 70s...lots of reasons for that,but they have never really got their act together since.

I've never thought it was about the bikes. I think its the more money someone spends on their machine, the more of an anal retentive they are. You ask any scooter rider how many waves they get from gsxr1k owners for example
