can we stop pretending that what it takes to ride long term is the same as driving a car?

what it takes, however you verbalize it, is something that only us riders, can relate to or understand with eachother. it bonds us...

California howdy.

Kane, what kind of bike do you ride?

I've got a 2003 Honda VTX 1800

I do have another rider friend of mine who hates the wave, so he normally throws his fist into the air... like jersey shore style lol..

he says he has other riders do it back to him all the time lol...

I ride a Harley. I will typically wave back at anyone who waves at me no matter what they are riding however I don't initiate because I think it's dumb. I will not return the wave to anyone when it doesn't make sense...like when I am in the middle of a hard turn rolling down 126 near Pine for example. Who the F thinks waving is more important than controlling the bike through the turn and over the gravel on the road? Apparently lots of people do. I ride to get to where I am going (and have fun doing it) not to socialize by waving at everyone else.

Someone here said you are part of the riding community if you like it or not...like being part of the Bailey "community" or CO AR15. Riding might be a "community" but CO AR15 is a club. I will wave at someone who is sporting our club's colors in the form of a sticker on their car but I am not going to wave at everyone who lives in the Littleton community just because I do...and that goes for the riding "community" too.

See that's the whole outlaw biker mentality. I just don't get it because it's so silly.

I think riding has become pretty neutered. it's certainly (and obviously) not what it used to be, but I kinda liked to think that it was still in there somewhere.

Doesn't bother me if you leave or stay. I'm just sentimental in that I don't really care what you do.

But, since you're staying, why not plan to make a trip up to Bailey and show me some of those mad shooting skills you possess? I'll invite a few other select guys from the forum. You can show us old guys how it's done.

We can stand around and wave at each other and then do some serious shooting. I'm never too old to learn from an expert.

Huh... Nothing but crickets after the invite. So much for "brotherhood".
