Lost my cool today.

So what's it like in the UK?? (As if anyone is interested!!)
Basically the same sort of behavior among the various manufacturer groups.
Harley riders very occasionally return a wave (or more common here, a nod)
An overtaking sportbike rider will give you his left boot if you let him pass.
BMW riders don't wave or nod unless they can see you're riding a BMW....which I do!
Now I have seen three other Spyders in two years on the road over here!
I've been completely amazed by the reaction of other riders to me on my Spyder:
They all nod or wave! Even groups of Harleys! Kids in cars go completely ape$#!+ waving like crazy!
I pulled in to my local HD dealership about two minutes from my home last Sunday afternoon
and once I'd got off and gone inside I noticed other customers and even staff members
almost sneakin' up to the Spyder to take a closer look! It certainly causes a stir.
It'll be great when I actually learn to ride it in a competent manner!!

Last weekend our Spyder chapter went on a ride to death valley. There were about 20 bikes on that ride. On the way there what happens? We come up on another spyder heading the same direction we are. Im leading so I pull up next to him, wave, then move along so all twenty or so of us can wave too! I can only imagine what his thoughts were seeing so many of us on the road

I think I saw that bike. A blue RT riding with a two wheeler. Going home we followed him/her for awhile. Funny as I thought he/her was part of the group, but could not remember seeing the two wheeler before.

Wave or Flash

I wave if I am not involved in traffic, a turn or anything requiring my immediate attention the all you get is a head wiggle or a nod. Lately when I have been solo it is a arm wave, hand wave or a headlight flash if I spot them coming at me sooner then where did he come from.

HD riders seem to be a mixed bag of social greetings to non HD riders. Although they seem to be getting better at it. :thumbup:

3 UP

WHEN i 1st got my SPYD3R in '09, everyone was giving me '2 down'... and i thot to myself, "I'VE GOT 3 WHEELS, n THEY'RE UP"... so i started with this: and it seems to have caught on here in the UP-STATE of SoCar...

heck, better to be '3 UP' than '2 down' i always say.... :2thumbs:

Nah. This guy was on a white RT wearing what appeared to be slippers.

Just posted the video on YouTube.
