Sorry I have to vent ...

I'm a waver by nature, as it just feels right to me. I have so much fun on our Spyder that I really don't care if I don't get a wave back.

There was once a time when I wasn't going to wave until they waved first, and that seemed so un-natural to me, and caused me to over think about the wave I did or didn't get. Life's too short to let that get in the way of enjoying my ryde!!!

I always wave and about 99% of the time I get a wave back or a wave com'n at me first and always return the wave. I even get the Harley crowd waving at me .

waving

I think this whole waving thing with bikers has run its course.
In WW1, early fighter pilots would wave at the enemy when they ran out of ammo and the fight would break off. This was Chivalry.
When the automobile first came in to being the early owners would wave at each other in kind of a camaraderie. Jeep (cj) used to do it, for the same reason.
I assume early motorcyclists waved in a kind of brotherhood type of fashion (camaraderie) and I would suppose that one would even assist another if they were broke down on the highway.
Does anyone even assist anyone else on the highways anymore or do most just make the assumption that the person on the side of the road has a cellphone and help is on the way?
So, wave or don't wave, who really cares?
From my personal experience, most sport bike guys get the spyder while a few Harley guys get it. It certainly seems that many Harley owners are in their own little world, and are oblivious to the fact that there are many other bike brands on the road, and that it is about riding, talking to other enthusiasts etc. etc.
Just comes down to -in many cases- whether a person is maybe more or less social I guess.

[Questions]

I was so excitted to go out and get the wave and give the wave back. Maybe two days after I got my bike, I waved at this guy on a crotch rocket, pps: He gave me the finger. I was so insulted.
Here in Sudbury Ontario, it's 50/50. The ones that are nice, are nice, the ones that are not, are big time not. The other day, we were at a car/bike show...we got a lot of dirty looks, but then a lot of people came to ask us questions about the bikes. We changed our lights to Led light on our bikes. That's what people like. Then, we had two more spyders join us. Now I'm happy. We have Spyder friends :doorag:

I'm happy to be a Spyder owner :f_spider:
