The Funniest SH-t Ever

[DLPeace]

Ok I was driving in my car,the spyder was at home i saw a guy riding a spyder so i gave him the thumbs up you know just saying cool he looked
at me like i was a pee-on and i could never be on his level.I felt like showing him my key but i just laughed and just kept it moving.
Please if you get a thumbs up just give it back.Its the right thing to do

:agree: Unbelievable. What a goof! When I am riding my motorcycle, if someone waves or gives the thumbs up, I always wave back. No exceptions. I don't care if they are on another bike, on a scooter or in a car. How hard is it to be cordial?

Should we give the guy the benefit of the doubt? Maybe you have a long thumb and he thought it was your middle finger?

Well...unfortunately I've noticed about 75% less response to my initiated waves since I have been on the spyder and a several head shakes...I could see a frown or scowl on a few of the half helmets. Even several Harley guys would wave to me while on my sportbike. I don't get it, it's as if not only is this NOT going to be accepted by the motorcycle community, but it's being seen as a sign of a change for the worst to them...like bad things are going to come of this???

I wouldn't worry too much about other bikers responding. Maybe some of them are just confused or insecure. We don't need their acceptance....We are UNIQUE! There's plenty of other people gawkin and waving! I wouldn't mind a little less attention myself.

That is just rude. I get waves or thumbs up from just about everyone regardless of what they are riding. Some of the folks that don't give me the wave seem to be the Goldwing crowd more than any other. I think too that there are so many new bikers on the road now days with gas prices that many just don't know.

Jut my opinion, I think with the number of first time riders buying Spyders, they are probably wondering why people are waving at them. They don't understand the biker wave. :dontknow:

Lamonster, that day we were riding to the Hideout, Mt. Palomar, etc., there were a lot of bikes on the road (result of great weather). I noticed that almost all of them waved as we passed.

My experience, since I started riding the Spyder, has been that most bikers will wave. Except in town, the practice has almost completely disappeared, probably because of the sheer numbers of bikes on the road in the city now.

One thing about city driving and waving. I was in my truck in the left lane and a few bikes in the right lane. I was catching up to them and they waved at the oncoming bikes. It kinda startled me because I thought they were changing lanes into me.:yikes:

One thing I noticed in my area it seems like most everyone waves to each other.

non waivers.

NON WAIVERS MOSTLY HARLEY RIDERS, SPYDERS ARE SPARSE AROUND ALBUQUERQUE, HAVEN'T PASSED ANY YET. KEEP ON WAIVIN' .

 

[Smylinacha]

When I first rode the Spyder people were scaring the crap out of me - I'd have people come at me and honk, ride by me and honk, yell out windows, a few waved but mostly honked, yelled, took my pic - I'm okay w/ it now but that never happened when I rode my Harley.

I have found Denver to be pretty freindly. Sometimes too much. I have people pull up along side me and take pictures and videos of me. They especially like my neon yellow mohawk on my helmet!! What annoys me is the 10 or 15th stupid question at the gas station.."is it stable?"...I usually say yeah its very stable until about 180mph and then it gets a little shakey!!"...and believe it or not many or them dont take that as humerous and actually think I am serious. I get lots of waves from other bike riders. The ones that dont wave appear to be new riders and dont because they are concerned they might lose control or maybe just jealous and wish they would have gotten a Spyder instead? Not sure. Nonetheless I have to defend the Harley guys and say they have all been welcoming and nice here in Denver. I have a biker bar down the streets from my office and we go there after work sometimes and they love my bike!! I guess its like anything else until there are more on the road we will get mixed responses. I always wave back or knod and honk my horn. I have always wondered if maybe some of those people giving me a thumbs up had a Spyder in THEIR garage too and might even be a fellow SpyderLover.com member? Wow imagine that!! I have found in life that you always get more flies with honey then vinegar. I guess it depends on what kind of flies you are trying to attract?
