my wife asked me....'why do you wave to other bikers?.....i dont wave to other car drivers..unless i know them and you will wave to a biker riding past who you dont know'


i said it was a comradery thing.....like being in a brotherhood

she didnt accept the answer.

I dont mainly because the only people out here that have em are 45+ year old DUI convicts.

I'm beginning to think that logic is specific to us Ed. I've said that before too and people just look at me funny. It never fails though, see a scooter WITHOUT tags, you'll be sure to see a 12 pack or something up front behind their legs. It never fails.
