Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back

10. - Afraid it will invalidate warranty.

9. - Leather and studs make it too hard to raise arm.

8. - Refuses to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.

7. - Afraid to let go of the handlebars because they might vibrate off.

6. - Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.

5. - Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.

4. - Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by those rice-burner manufacturers.

3. - Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover
their ears like everyone else.

2. - Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled
his hand on spiked helmet.

1. - They're jealous that after spending $20,000, they still don't
own a Gold Wing.

Top Ten Reasons Why Gold Wing RidersDon't Wave Back

10. - Wasn't sure whether other rider was waving or making an obscene gesture.

9. - Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip.

8. - Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm.

7. - Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him.

6. - The expresso machine just finished.

5. - Was actually asleep when other rider waved.

4. - Was in a three-way conference call with stock broker and accessories dealer.

3. - Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen.

2. - Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system.

1. - Couldn't find the "auto wave back" button on the dashboard.

Top Ten Reasons Motof150 doesn't wave back:
10. Too busy trying to figure out if he has enough money to pay for all his friend's gas and lunch
9. Too busy bitching about his bike
8. Too busy making "Kicking Motions" at the Harley on the side of the road
7. was holding a stopwatch to try and get the proof that his bike sucks in the quarter mile
6. He did wave but not at you, he had too much mud in his radiator and was trying to wave his hand real fast to keep things cool.
5. waving hand actually broken from patting himself on the back all the time.
4. thought he was on his ATV
3. had a great new business idea just then: Hire-a-Waver...hire someone to ride pillion to wave for you, so that you don't have to...hell, they might even pay to ride with MotoF150
2. the only hand signal he ever learned involved the middle finger

And the number one reason MotoF150 did not wave at you......

1. You were the Fourth bike of the day, sorry, no wave for you.

I always wave to other bikers no matter what they are riding. :D

It's one of the very special "bonds" we have as motorcyclists that no other vehicle driver/rider has.

My g/f rode with me the other weekend and made fun that I wave to all other riders,saying some didn't wave back so why bother?

I told her as I tell everyone here, we two wheelers are supposedly looking out for one another (regardless of our ride) the least I can do is wave.......

Bok.... you DOG!

I find that the ones who wave back tend to be those out for a spin and not really going "anywhere." A lot of ppl just like to go out and put some work out the odometer, and those guys wave. My experiences seem to be less enthusiastic with Gixxers etc... but I remain optimistic... I want one later on (after the mom calms down about my broken arm and jaw).

One handed typing sucks.

George: Shut up Lenny, you're too stupid for a dog.
