Like Syndrome said: "Once everyone is super........no one will be."

If everyone is an elitist snob about the same thing, then they cease to be elitist (or unique) and become one of the braying pack.

Man, what is wrong with us? Lot of "Incredibles" quotes going on in this thread, or maybe I read this earlier and it lodged in my brain somewhere......and I thought that I was being original. Looks like I'm just one of the crowd. :bwgy:

I think the "rules" with bikers are bogus. I ride a custom bike and I'll wave to ANYONE on two wheels; sport bikes, dirt bikes, mopeds, etc. (sometimes even bicyclists). :wave: It's one big two wheeled brotherhood so why we got to be hate'n on one another?

As for the "jeep wave"? That's just silly. Like it's some "exclusive" club? You might as well just drive around with your arm out the window in a permanent wave since you'll be passing another jeep every few feet, or so.

a humongous X 2 :yesb:

I currently ride a 2008 Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 and I choose to wear a helmet. I will return waves from anyone on a bike, trike, Can Am reverse trike thingie, scooter, dirt bike, etc...etc...etc..

I will however, not initiate a wave. Too many high & mighty riders out there for me to waste time with.

Now for the big finale:

If you don't want to wave @ me because I ride what I have...I could care less...but I take it personally when you damage my bike because you are an A-Hole.

I went to my Local's Union Rally during contract negotiations with our company. By far the most common bike there was Harley's. A few Honda GoldWings too. I parked my bike there and came back after the rally was over to find it knocked over w/ some damage to the mirror & handlebar end plus a busted turn signal. Not only did I have to pick-up a 500 lb bike myself but had to pay to repair it too. Nice

I'm currently sniffing on new bikes but probably won't bite this summer. Before the Union Rally incident I was considering a 2011 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide. After the incident, I don't want to buy into that loser scene. Currently in love with a 2012 BMW K1600 GT.

That's All Folks!

I don't have any enemies and the area was cordoned off with cones to keep cars out...so I really don't know what happened for sure...but, I just can't shake that feeling it was because I had a metric bike amongst a sea of Harley's and the Goldwing's I noticed were gone when I came back out.

I hope it was an accident but it would have been nice to get a note and they could have picked up my bike afterwards!

That would be low but you are right they (or someone) could have picked it up or helped:yesb:
