HeavyDuty Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I found this poking around the Web:Top reasons why SOME bikers don’t wave back…Top Reasons Why Harley Riders Don’t Wave Back8- Raising the arm could be considered a form of exercise.7- They’re afraid it will void the warranty.6- Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise their arms.5- They refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.4- They are afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.3- Rushing wind might blow the scabs off their new tattoos.2- They can’t tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.1- They’re too tired from the hours spent polishing all that chrome.Top Reasons Why GOLD Wing Riders Don’t Wave Back7- They couldn’t find the “auto wave back” button on the dashboard6- They are afraid they might get frostbite if they remove their hands from the heated grips.5- They have arthritis.4- The reflection from the etched windshield has momentarily blinded them.3- They were asleep when you waved.2- They were distracted by the odd shaped blip on the radar screen.1- They were simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system.Top Reasons Why Sportbikers Don’t Wave Back7- They have not been riding long enough to know they are supposed to.6- They’re going too fast to have enough time to register the movement and respond.5- They didn’t notice you, you weren’t wearing bright enough gear.4- If they stick their arm going that fast they’ll rip it out of the socket.3- Their skin tight-kevlar-ballistic-nylon-kangaroo-leather suits prevent any other position than fetal.2- Raising an arm allows bugs into the armholes of their tank tops.1- It’s to hard to do one handed stoppies.Top Reasons Why BMW Riders Don’t Wave Back5- Their new Aerostich suits are too stiff to raise their arms.4- Removing a hand from the bars is considered “bad form”.3- They are too busy programming the GPS, monitoring radar, listening to their ipod or talking on cell phone.2- The wires from the Gerbings are too short.1- You haven’t been properly introduced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I don't wave to Harley riders or riders not wearing gear. I don't like to encourage them... or maybe I'm just an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent3012 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Top Reasons Why Sportbikers Don’t Wave Back6- They’re going too fast to have enough time to register the movement and respond.5- They didn’t notice you, you weren’t wearing bright enough gear. Okay, I'll be the one to admit it, these two are accurate. I always feel bad when I don't see a wave until I'm already starting to pass the rider coming the other way.But then, I'm also the goofy guy that waves to riders going the other way on the highway. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
