Yesterday we had great weather so we went for a drive up the canyon, a winding paved road in some scenic country. We were following a guy on a Harley, about 50 yards behind him. As he was going around a tight corner a group of Harley (I assume) riders was coming down the hill the other way. Of course they all had to wave to each other. The one guy lost control of his bike, waving with one hand, going around the corner. He got it slowed down enough to avoid serious injury but tipped his ride over right at the guard rail. We stopped, he was OK but the bike sustained some expensive repairs. I was glad he wasn't hurt and all but being the heartless guy I am I just laughed my @ss off when we got back in the truck. My wife asked what the F? I explained to her that Harley riders, no matter what the situation always wave to each other for some unknown reason. They got this bond I guess. I don't wave to other guys in trucks or on mountain bikes. Why the Harley Ego? I know some guys here must ride em, whats the explanation?
Wave Bye-Bye

Not a Harley ego. That particular rider was inexperienced and had no concept of weight and balance.
Could be that he left his wife back at the gas station and didn't account for the change in balance.
Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

i think it had more to do with him going to fast, not keeping his eye on the road and making sure the others saw him wave then it did driving with one hand.
"Could be that he left his wife back at the gas station and didn't account for the change in balance." Nice!

Feleno, I was up that way too this weekend. Are these the guys you were talking about. They waved me down and I don't even own a Bike. They kept going on and on about some Dude named HuntRez.

"RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE, RIDE TO DIE!!"
Seriously.....ride to die? Really? You ride your motorcycle so you can die on it?
Cracks me up when you see a Harley dide snub a guy on a crotch rocket! IMO- you don't need to wave to someone cuz their doing the same thing you are. We all take sh!ts....why not wave at everybody? I don't get it....

Speaking of the Harley phenomenon.... Any of you long time hard core HD guys out there? Doesn't it kinda ruin the whole deal now that everybody and their dog is now riding a Harley? I mean, all these wimpy buttoned-down city slickers and their brand new bikes and leathers crack me up and I don't even ride.

Here's a "wave bye bye" shot.
No helmet, no shirt, 20 years old and bulletproof....(roll eyes)
I'm really surprised there aren't more newbie biker fatalities.
I see so many more people on bikes nowadays.
The street is soooo unforgiving.
