    I've found that Harley riders are a little more stiff as well. Most of them do wave out here in Cali though

    If you're on motorized 2-wheels I'll wave ... if you've seen the "Why We Ride" video, you'll understand ... we are all riding for the same reasons even though our choice of bike might be different.

    That said .... FUCK SCOOTERS. They don't pay the same insurance rates, they don't have the same licensing requirements, they drive like idiots because most of them really aren't riding it because it's 2-wheels (they usually riding it because they're tree huggers thinking they're saving the planet), and they have no interest in the history and culture ...

    I waved at a scooter today.

    But with it being a cold 46 degrees and cloudy today, he was the only other rider I saw today for two hours. I felt he was worthy today since braving the elements.

    Nah, the real scooter riders are folks residing in the mountain towns of appalachia. The dude who re-roofed his house with blue tarps, isn't riding that chinese scooter outfitted with bungie straps and a Givi milk crate to make an environmental statement.

    I just read a couple of pages of posts on an official HD forum. Unlike us, they seem confused and do not have it all down to a science.

    I'll wave at you if you wave at me first. Even if you're on a Harley.

    Notice that the read had a beginning and an end. Better that than having to listen to Trump or sit here making up New Year's resolutions that ain't gonna last ten minutes come Jan 1...
