Those guys ride. I spent all weekend riding around and the vast majority of bikes were HD and the vast majority of riders waved back at me. I've shot my mouth of a couple of times about pirate gear, selling a lifestyle, etc but I wanted to give credit to the guys who get out and put some miles on. Only a couple of sportbikes out once I got out of the city so.... maybe power isn't everything.
I did 250 miles in north-northwest and central Kentucky today. I saw the same thing. The vast majority waved but there were a few holdouts...
Same here. There are some serious riders out there.
Novice,
Many of us own and ride HD motorcycles in addition to the CB11. Most HD riders love my CB11 and I think most CB riders would love several different HD models. Power Ranger or Pirate, riding is riding. Cheers.

Ride we do now and years ago many would raise a hand or give a nod, its just a thing some do and others refrain from.
I don't think what bike your on has much to do with it, once you've got some serious distance between you and the next town I find most will show some response to a greeting gesture.
Regards
There is just so many of them. Even out here, I only saw 2 bikes Sunday! Both Harleys, both 2 up.
All the biker wave to each other out here, just not to scooters.

And Firemen too! (ADV)
Nothing but Harleys where I live. Most of them wave FIRST which is cool especially since they see me coming in all my gear. Everyone I know who rides, rides a Harley, I'm literally the only one who doesn't. They're all great people.
I don't like Harley's bikes (I HAVE owned one in the 21st century) nor the poser or pirate riders that are too good to wave at all to a non H-D. Lots of that around here. One example of that is someone that works where I now work who is same age as me, 60. He was very friendly and talkative to me about riding, sharing several stories, etc. until I mentioned I ride Hondas. Now he barely says hello. And I've since learned that he has never gotten his M/C license and is unregistered and uses a fictitious plate. You would think he'd be mature by that age, no?
Of course there are lots good people on all makes certainly H-D too, and some H-D riders really RIDE many miles a year, but you can't deny seeing four or five year old bikes with 2000 miles or less on them listed in classifieds/craigslist ads.
