• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Strange wave from another biker today.

While riding on the interstate today I got a wave from a HD biker that was a little weird. There were two riders and the first one was a guy on a HD trike and he didn't wave back. However, the gentleman behind him gave me a hand signal that was not ordinary (at least to me). He lifted his hand way up and it looked like he was holding an imaginary basketball, plam down as he passed me. Now I have seen a few weird waves from other riders over the years but that one was a little different! I am wondering if it is a new type of wave or if anyone else has seen a wavy done that way.

Interesting. ...

Your going to have to hunt him down and ask him...:roflblack: seen many a wave and a few unique jestures but that is a new one....:dontknow:
 
:D The funniest wave that we ever received...

We had a Squid on a SportBike give us the quick "5-knuckle shuffle:, as we crossed paths. :yikes:
I told the Missus that he must have been excited: seeing his first Spyder! :roflblack:
 

That's easy, It is the not so new Spyder wave. Arm stretched all the way up, hand facing forward, palm

facing down and fingers pointing down. It looks like a Spyder. Problem solved and respect given to Spyder

Ryder from Harley Ryder. Go back and finish your beer now!

Hi Pam,

Re: Very interesting if true....

You read it on the internet; it must be true. :banghead:

PS) I've reached the point that any wave is just fine with me; even the goofy ones I give back. :yes:
 
Maybe he was shaking a bug out of his glove ?

He was on a Harley, 4 Marie. The bug would have fallen out of his fingerless gloves the next time he leaned down to wipe the oil off his boots. :D......sorry.....couldn't help myself :cheers:

Was he an older rider, Jim? It might have been arthritis and he rides in that position whenever he's not changing gears :shocked:
 
A wave is a wave

I give absolutely no thought to my wave back. I have given a nod of my head, shaken my hand in the air, waved my arm, raised my arm, pointed to the ground with two fingers, one finger and given a thumbs up. Don't give it a second thought either, I'll have to add the new Spyder hand jester to my non-specific routine. :ani29: That's bad ass
 
my friend chuck, used to have some strange hand gestures. when i would follow him, he would get me so confused. if he tapped the top of his head, it would mean he spotted a cop. left hand down, was a left turn, left hand a little up, right hand turn, left leg out, debris on the left side of the road, right leg out, debris on the right side of the road. and so on. one day he was holding his right hand straight up. i was looking for a sign to read, i figured he was telling me this is where we are going. nope, he pointed to a plane. LOL i miss the old grouch
 
Who has time to see how someone waves, let alone how many fingers are involved? I'm usually going past them so fast I don't even know if they notice me! :ohyea:
