I wave or nod to any passing bike. I always thought that HD riders didn't wave because they were afraid to take a hand off the bars for fear of loosing control. *smile*

Musky, turn for my PC to be washed in tea , now thats what I call a prejudical point !!!i know you're only joking ...aren't you??  Seriously Briz, perhaps i don't get out as often as you guys but I always seem to grin whilst riding and if nothing else these 63 yrs have given me an ability to "people watch " so have to say I only related what I see . As with the majority of riders i always wave to another but from now on i'll accept Musky's appraisal as to why Harley riders don't and and just chuckle to myself,  Regards BobH.

I have noticed the same attitudes here.  When I'm on my Harley, the other Harley riders wave at me.  But the very next day if I'm riding one of my other bikes (not the BSA's) they turn up their nose!  They do wave at the BSA's because anyone knows how cool they are!  I wave at ALL bikes, including mopeds.  ANYONE on two wheels is supporting our sport and MUST be recognized!

Sorry, probably took it too seriously.
I just get a bit fed up with every little motorcycling sub-group sneering & belittling any or all the others all the time. See any forum.
Been riding (chopped) HDs for 20 years and other bikes for 40, starting with A10s. Gotta say, the A10s caused me more grief than all the others put together! *smile*
