reduced waves this weekend - cause for concern?
#54
Totally agree, wave all you want. Sometimes you get one back and sometimes you dont, oh well. Has nothing to do with the ride to me. Their are different attitudes in all classes of motorcycle riding. Some thjnk they are in the sons of anarchey fantasy world and some think they are in the fast and furious movies. Guys with our bike usually have been arojnd the block for a while and see past all that. I own a Harley but do laugh at the guys who dress up like pirates and think they just earned a bad as@ patch for buying a 883 sportster but to each their own. I do understand why people sometimes dont bother and im ok with it. Sometimes im like sorry dude just forgot to wave to you, dont have a melt down now. Lol.

The truth is here in PA you do not have to wear anything. So i just assume the bugs have damaged they eyes and the vibration has the same affect as shaking a baby. They can't wave they are just hanging on hoping to find their way home. Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Now now, bashing Harleys just a bit? I must say, my Ultra is a very fine built machine.

Funny thing is my Ultra has a higher top end then my CB1100 and the 110 CVOs have much more than that. My XR1200 had even more than that and a V rod would destroy them all so I dont think our CBs are really going to impress anyone in that department, especially with a speed limiter of 112mph which seems more like 109-110 on mine. Plenty of Harleys can pass us no problem. I love my Honda but its not a speed demon. Excellent build quality and looks though.
