Myths or truths?

[6ft5]

I just got back into riding...have a Harley...to date no ones waved or otherwise.

Same here, just got a 99 Harley and waves are yet to mature. Am into a special KB recognition. Enjoy

Seriously; what does it matter?

Enjoy the ride, wave, chuck rocks, eggs or spit at each other.....

Enjoy the ride. (And chuck really big rocks at cops and sports bike riders....)

Riding my VF700 Magna cruiser from Invers to Whangarei in March I waved at everyone (except scooters - just didn't feel right somehow...) Most waved back except for the Harley guys - they kind of seemed to treat me like I was on a scooter...

Of course you get a few non-Harleyesques that won't wave and I give them excuses; recent relationship breakdown, bee in helmet, talking on their cellphone via bluetooth headset, wondering where they are, just going too fast to see me; whatever...

So unfortunately the Harley stereotype is actually true. Just like Skyline drivers don't indicate at roundabouts (you watch - it's uncanny)

hmmm, don't get it, we are riding because we like to why not acknowledge eachother eh

Because unfortunately there's some and not just Harley riders either,that think if you're not riding a particular style of bike, you're not riding.

Well I wave to harley riders, it doens't change a thing, they don't wave back.I don't care, only ones I don't wave to are scooter drivers with t shirts, short's and jandals on, they're to stupid to waste time on anyhow.

I frequently get no response from sports bike riders when I give a nod or whatever and I'm sure it's effect on my mental health.

obviously not the end of the world if someone doesnt wave back, but it is amusing that the highest proportion who dont wave back are riding cruisers, maybe its just cos im on a sportsbike (wee bit of a stretch there :P), or maybe the handling is just to finnicky to take ones hand off the bars

Just. Stop. Already.
