Yea no doubt thats it.All that biker biker bullshit is indeed xactly bullshit,i wonder how many rapists,thieves,scumbuckets and Labour party voters ive acknowleged over the years unknowingly.I did however give my unhelmeted neighbour a nod the other day when i caught a glimpse of him battling knee high lawns as i was.

Oddly enough someone once suggested it. But its only made public to members that have been here for an undisclosed secret amount of time.

I think this is also amplified when its wet (like Wellington this morning!) as you know only the true bikers are out braving the elements like yourself. There's instantly a bond there.

Example: Was sitting at some lights today when throughout the traffic 3 bikers went past and all gave the "good on ya mate" nod.

Biker camaraderie

And I just thought I was part of the 'lonely hearts club'

Actually I like giving a good wave!

Again.There is indeed a ray of sunshine on the horizon,if manufacturers continue with the current trend of producing the uglist generation of motorcycles ever riders will stop waving as the approaching object wont resemble anything remotely motorcycle.:confused.

HDs come with the option of pre-programming. Turn here for DB...turn here for Tui...turn here for (god forgive) a nice glass of red wine.

According to the manual it is not possible to turn the thing once it is programmed.
