Waving - the neverending saga (multiple threads merged into one)

[pritch]

Harley Davidson offer free new rider training, but they call it boot camp

That's probably clever marketing, if a little late to the game.

A while back lots of American military personnel were returning home to the States with big bank balances, there having been nowhere in Iraq or Afghanistan to spend their pay. Many, being young and single, purchased toys and, it being the USA, a new motorcyclist can buy a Hyabusa and ride it sans helmet. It was said at one stage that, for US Marines, the casaualty rate from motorbike accidents was higher than from either war.

So to offer training using a dash of military terminology like "recruiting" and "boot camp" is probably not a bad sales pitch.

Im too busy looking where lm going these days.
Bike waving is a fad....one weirdo acknowledging another.
I wave at cars( "cages" to KB hipsters) instead. Much more sensible people.

You dare to so casually dismiss the most important KB topic of the age?!!!!
"Good day to you sir...I said GOOD DAY!!!"

Seriously all I can say is, give him or anyone you suspect might be him this one when out riding.


If they are on an Aprilia or Ducati

In mitigation, I just remembered that l DO acknowledge single cylinder trailbikes, whether on the road, a ute or a trailer.

Nothing good will come of this.


Side note I notice waving to girls on scooter is firm second. How is this method working out for you guys?

[Pound]

I wave to EVERYBODY on two wheels (and even three) with three exceptions.

1: Cyclists
2: Scooter/Moped riders
3: Riders with no safety gear other than a helmet

Wouldn't it be a great idea to have a 'KB wave' so that we could recognise each other on the road.
What do you think?

Would it look like this?

The classic 'How'd ya do' as performed by Crazy Steve is suffice.

Hey not fair he usually only performs the secret KB wave while on the back wheel and with his Ri, Op's, cripes Maha, nearly let it out.

I think he did some really weird stuff on that particular ride in 08' but, he is a truck driver and they wave to anyone.

Not fussy then?
Ran into him a while back, looked pretty good for CS. Still got a big bike and riding hard.

He and Marty (Jafar) called into see us when we worked in Auckland, he had a Busa then, he always maintained that ER6 was his girlfriends....
