Ever Wonder Why They Don't Wave ?
06/03/13 2:09 PM

Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don’t Wave

10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty.

9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm.

8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.

7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.

6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.

5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.

4. Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda.

3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.

2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet.

1. They're too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.

Nice. The sad part is are bikes are getting almost as expensive as some of the harleys. If not more than some of them. I bought my 09 14 from cycle world in cherry hill for 9000. I bought my 12 14r from them before they closed last year for 15000. Its getting crazy.

I always wave back, even to scooters and mopeds. We are united by two wheels, so I don't discriminate. I have been known to hold up the middle finger when they don't wave back. Perhaps, after studying the list above I shouldn't be so judgmental - lol

if they don't have a helmet on, chances are they won't wave back. They're too into looking like a cool badass to wave at sportbike riders.

I don't care. i often wave anyway.

In NYC its rare to get a wave so I dont bother anymore unless someone waves first then I give the HOW DO U DO Right Back but I gotta say the Boys down South Jersey always make it a point to wave and its kinda nice. I rode down the parkway to exit 74 Forked River exit and from the parkway to my buddies summer home every rider I past gave 2 finger salute and it was all good!

I always put out the peace sign. Whether they wave or not, doesn't bother me. Unless I'm in the middle of a shift. Then they get a nod.

Im with wolfman, 2 wheels are 2 wheels but in VA you usually get a wave sometimes half hearted but when they find out I know more about there Harley then they do...oh boy you should see there faces, lol, then a little respect grows, just never know who knows what, don't judge me by what I ride!

They'll 'usually' wave back...IF they're the last rider on a group or 3 or 4.The guys/gals with helmets..they normally wave.Sometimes the bandannaer's will.IF they're alone that is.Rarely do any riders wave first...in my rides anyway.I especially like wavin when I'm leaned in hard and rollin in a curve....can't imagine what they're thinkin...but passin em like that...at near triple digits...you know they must be thinkin somethin.All in fun...all in fun.

I wave at all motorcycles... but not trikes. Do you guys wave at trikes? If so, do you wave at convertibles? Where does it end??? lol

I don't see what the big deal is, if you're on two wheels and at constant risk of destruction from other vehicles...I wave.

I don't initiative waves but will respond to everyone (As a rookie, I used to initiative all the time). Dave 905 gives the peace sign, I prefer to Salute other riders. The salute comes from midevil times when knights rased their iron face sheild to identify themselves to other armoured soldiers. I like the significance of that gesture, ie, "hi this is who I am!"

I wave at every rider, regardless of mount, I wave at kids on school busses. Every kid gets a wave or a peace sign. They usually wave and grin like crazy! Nothing wrong with a lotta kids thinking riders are kool. (That's how my teenager spells it when he texts!) ha ha ha :)))

I wave at everybody on two wheels, I always wave at the police and they always wave back, though technically they could hit you with a 'stunt driving' charge for doing so, welcome to Ontanamo...
I also wave at left turners that don't take me out as I pass them...kinda hopes it makes an impression on them.

Don't need to add insult or injury to a scooter or moped rider, they already execute that quite effectively by traveling on their mounts. It's like kicking a puppy!

(veni (I came), vidi (I saw), vici (I conquered)
I saw, I conquered, I came

Hmmmm, in certain circumstances my friend Darryle, your are correct. However since I have hit my 40's I just can't live up to those words.

Mad love Darryle!
