5 Just discovered fine print in the owners manual and realized Harley is
partially owned by those "Rice Burner" manufacturers.

ears like everyone else.

spiked helmet.

2 Just spent the morning combing their underarm hair.

TOP 10 REASONS GOLDWINGERS DON'T WAVE BACK:

10 Wasn't sure if you were waving or blocking the light from his show
lights.

9 Afraid he might get frostbite if he takes his hands off his heated grips

8 Arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise his arm

7 Reflection from his Tulsa windscreen blinded him momentarily

5 Has actually fallen asleep in his chair

4 Was in a three way conference call with his stock broker and mechanic

3 Couldn't find the "autowave back" button on the dashboard

2 Was adjusting the CD player's programmable tracks

and the #1 reason Goldwing riders don't wave back:

1 They couldn't see you over the glare from the chromed dash accents!



And here's the Top 10 Reasons why BMW riders never wave back

10. Arm is too sore from counting out so much cash for a 2-cylinder bike whose
design is older than George Burns..

9. Mad because Honda copied their opposed-cylinder idea (they don't wave at
Subaru's either).

8. Afraid it will be misinterpreted as a Nazi salute.

7. The wind might cause the brie to run out between their fingers.

6. They are keeping their weight on the handlebars so they can do a whole 50
miles on that seat.

5. It will look bad if the paparazzi snap a photo.

4. Can't risk possible injuries that would spoil their golf game.

3. Gucci riding suits are cut way too tight.

2. Think "BMW" stands for "Bad Men Wave".

AND FINALLY:

1. You haven't been properly introduced.
 
8. Afraid it will be misinterpreted as a Nazi salute.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:


And as for the Goldwing one...I know a guy who has one and though he routinely scrapes pegs in the canyons on it, he is the upper crust CEO type whom I wouldn't be surprised if he WAS talking to his stockbroker while scraping pegs! :laugh:
 
Gotta say that a few folks around here have no idea about Harleys. None at all.

Most of those big Harleys get great gas mileage, as in over 50 on the highway. Very economical bikes to own.

Somewhat to my surprise, Harley riders in the DC metro / northern Virginia area are pretty quick to waive.

Even more to my surprise is how many Harley guys are attracted to my Busa.

I find wayyy more twits riding sportbikes than Harleys.

I've experienced similar where I am AJAY...though the sportbike guys almost always wave because there are so few of us.
 
Funny stuff.

And the ONLY reason 'busa riders don't wave?

If we put even a finger out at that velocity, it'd rip of at the socket! :rofl:
 
None of them wave at a Busa rider, because they are afraid it might be taken as an invitation to RACE :rofl:
 
:laugh: it use to bother me when other riders wouldnt wave back, now i just keep smiling and ride on :cheerleader:
 
I get alotta waive-backs from cruisers...
It's usually the "older generation" of Harley riders that think you're a Jap POS.
The way I look at it, you got my respect if it's on two wheels and you aren't a dipsh*t.
:beerchug:
P.S. The GW & BMW List is right on the money! :rofl:

Good stuff!

Funny, I just bought the Busa a stable mate at a (high end) dealership. They sell BMW and the lady that did my paperwork said that they (BMW riders) are the worst!
She said that the folks at BMW HQ even wanted them to put up walls around thier bikes in the showroom so that they 'would not be associated with the Ducatis and KTMS"
I can imagine the riders..... never known one!

I'll keep waving though!

I live in South Africa which is on the otherside of the planet from America and yes strange here they don't waive back either.

I don't begrudge the Harley guys I just don't understand their attitude.

Afterall the Harley is not really a great bike???

The funniest really is the getup I mean the hairnet and the little hancerchef on their heads......:laugh:

They seem to be in a world of their own:whistle:
