    Didn't wave to anyone, the wife and i would ask each other, "you know them?".

    Also on a Ulysses. Funny, when I rode a Harley, other Harley riders would wave. Now, most don't, but when they pull up next to me and recognize the American Twin engine or the Buell name, they become friendly. I'll return a wave if it's convenient, but I'm not gonna prioritize the gesture above safety. Here's an excerpt from a Buell publication I like:

    I've seen threads about this kind of thing on about every kind of discussion forum I've been on, and I never understood it. Just because me and another person are into the same thing, doesn't mean we have some kind of bond.

    You can use that quote for anything. I use that same line for my stance on self-defense and the 2nd Amendment, so it's not as if I don't understand. That being said, I always return waves and other forms of polite actions.

    Aren't they too busy fixing them to wave back?

    Ya, I hate those people who don't wave back.... It makes me feel like a dumb ass when I'm on my mountain bike....

    Always waved to all I saw, regardless of make or rider. But I rode sport bikes so I'm not brand myopic.
