Ok, this has gotten too grandiose for me. It's Dcarver thread. I was merely pointing out that not everyone likes to be a "parade princess" and wave all the time. I am not talking about anything big like the biker brotherhood or antagonistic world views. Maybe this HD rider was tired of waving- that's all.
Hey, you asked:

As for me, I hate waving- sport bike, HD, or anything else. I don't wave when I drive a car, so why should I wave when I drive a bike. Can anyone explain what all the waving is about?
Exactly what did this mention about the HD rider being tired of waving, and exactly how didn't you expect your question to garner a response?

Look, do what you want and think what you want but I wouldn't recommend inferring anything like you did in your last post unless you just want to piss people off. If you want to call me a princess because I buy into the biker brotherhood and I like to wave then, **** you. I hope to see you on a ride someday so I can wave and make you question ************...again.

Easy cheetah. No need to get personal and so agitated. I wasn't calling you a "parade princess" and I started another thread where a poll exists so we can see that everyone doesn't view waving the same. In that way we do not have to hijack Dcarver's thread.
From princess to cheetah; are you going to deny calling me a cheetah next? No **** people view waving differently. You asked me to explain the wave, I did and then you implied that those that wave are parade princesses. Gee, I wonder how the **** I got the idea that this was directed at me and now you deny it? Are all your arguments so circular? Do they all consist of intent then denial?

Why don't you be a man and own up to what you said? If you are going to think of me like a princess and imply that I'm a princess then be strong enough to say, "Yes, I think you are a prissy woman for waving at other motorcyclists."

 
Carver, I thought with the candy butt thing you were a superb writer.

I didn't know you were such a comedian to.You're just a jack of all trades and a master also.

You crack me up bro cause all that waving is just a brotherhood of people.

Unfortunately some people don't want to participate and it seems to be mostly the harley dudes.

If they wave at you that would be a sign of their feminine side and weakness I guess.

I don't really care I wave to all.

 
Besides, wouldn't it take a whole "grandstand" full of us to do a proper wave? Maybe we should try that when we next have a "get-together/group ride". Maybe we could post a video? :rolleyes:

 
How can you NOT wave at most other riders? I figure we've all got the same thing wrong with us so we have to stick together.

 
At WFO-5 Deb and I waited in line with decarver for about 1/2 hour,got to know him a little,nice guy. Who would'nt want to wave back at such a nice boy? Proly an *** hole would'nt thats who. Decarver, same **** happens to me all the time,and I too ride Harleys (52 pan chopper,76 shovel full dresser). I just smile and shake my head knowing I proly have ridden longer and put more miles on crap like their riding then they will ever know. And if they break on the side of the rode I could proly get em going. If the *** hole would have only waved back. :bye:

 
Sweet story Don...I don't like to dork around too often, but I have been known to chase people to their top speeds and pass them too. (on closed course tracks, of course)
Waving: People on two wheels take more risks than those on four, or more. When a rider is in need of help, it is customary that another rider will not just pass by, but lend a hand if they can. I feel the wave is a symbol of that support. To me, it means:

1) I respect you

2) I got your back

3) I'm having fun too!!

There, I explained it. Get it?

Edit: further babbling:

Recently we had a forum member crash his bike. Dcarver volunteered to bring his truck and trailer over to provide transport for the bike. He was willing to travel over 600 miles round trip to help out a fellow rider. The rider was helped by another rider that was much closer, but the offer of help from dcarver did not go unnoticed, or without a great deal of gratitude. You choose how you interract with the riding community. You can take part in an extended family of sorts, or you can be a loner. Even if you are a loner, you may benefit from receiving help of other riders, however you miss out on some good relationships by not kicking in yourself. There are a lot of very good friends to be had out there and if we aren't living for the personal relationships that we develop in life, we aren't seeing the trees for the forrest. So wave.
Very well said!

Another example I haven't forgotten: This summer: Odot riding like 1000 miles out of his way, to help Groo finish his ride.

That's the kind of guy I want at my back, and if I can help a guy like Odot or any other biker in trouble, I will.

Karma, man!

 
"Yes, I think you are a prissy woman ."

There I said it!

I hear you have a cute tusshie too :lol:

Carver-

: This summer: Odot riding like 1000 miles out of his way, to help Groo finish his ride.

Well it is time to start our movement. Their is the million man march and now signs-ups are being taken for the million hand wave march. It will be held where the wave started yoes, in Washington ST.

So all of you non wavers and wavers practice and get your own style and form down just in case there is a wave off for best waver.

place: Washington ST. city: Seattle, Stadium, where the Sea Hawks play football

This is where it all started so let the wave off begin

Time and Date: TBA

I am a proud waver and a friendly one and will help you if you are broke down or in need of help.

And for the rider that keeps saying and mentioning he is not gay, If the truth be known he's gay :yahoo:
