Spyders passing HDs

[ES44AC]

I only see problems like this with the "Thinks they are Cool HD crowd ". The bagger HD's are usually fine people.

About half the harley Rider’s waive the other half don’t I pretty much give up on them I let them wave first then I’ll wave back but I wave quite excessively when I see another spider or Riker which isn’t really that often where I live in Windsor Ontario

I'll admit that I'm a wave back rider. If you wave at me I'll wave back... I've found a lot of older HD riders are interested in my Spyder. Especially when the challenge me at a stop light or they meet me on a twisty road. They think differently about my ride. lol..... It's not the GRANDPA MOBILE they thought it was...

I used to ride a Harley. A really nice Harley I built and was featured in a magazine. I liked riding it and yes it gave me an attitude. Maybe it was all the noise, or the fact that it always needed fixing. And I always hated Spyders and called them snowmobiles with wheels. Then I sold my Harley, bought an awesome Victory Ness Magnum that would leave Harleys in the dust. My attitude improved a little, but still hated Spyders. Then my friend bought a Spyder and I took it for a ride. I went out a bought a used 2014 Rts shortly after and the Victory collected dust. My attitude is great now and I would never go back to 2 wheels. Once you ride a spyder, you figure out why they are so great.

I wish to "Thank You" on behalf of everyone here on Spyder Lovers for this Post, This will go a long way in mending fences amongst 2 and 3 wheel bikers and the bikes they love. "Hats Off to You"......Bill....:cheers:...:thumbup:

Guess I'll add my two cents worth...
Never had any problems getting blocked or run off the road. What I've noticed is that regular baggers will generally wave, sport bikers not so much, and don't even bother waving to anyone driving ape hangers - I think they're hanging on for dear life.

Nobody waves to me on my unicycle, why?

They're waving ... but just the one finger. Two fingers for motorcycles, 3 for trikes and then ... well, y'know!

Hmmm, now there's a thought! :2thumbs: :thumbup:

But how should one wave at an 18 wheeler?? :shocked: :gaah:

I wave to everyone. If they don't wave back my three finger wave goes to a one finger wave. Don't have time for a**holes.

Hey Delta, Where in Nevada are you?????? We are " Battle Born Spyders" . Mostly in Norther Nevada. Check it out on Facebook.

[teninospyder]

Agree.

 

[EchoVictor]

I've always thought that anyone who doesn't wave back is in the middle of a shift or concentrating on something (car/debris/etc...) in front of them.

If someone just doesn't want to be courteous, well, that's their problem, not mine. Never bothered me....

So you have concentrated so hard on the approaching rider (and therefore not the road) since they came into view that you could not have missed a nod, a finger raise, or some other gesture, Wheelman?…….or perhaps they were adjusting their cruise control or performing one of the myriad other things that you have to do on a cycle and couldn’t do anything?
……but if you don’t see them wave to you, they are arseholes who deserve to get the finger.:hun: There is something seriously wrong with that logic, apart from the poor impression it gives others of Spyder riders. You wave for yourself……it doesn’t matter what happens after that :dontknow:
