Top reason why I wave at all bikers,, including kids on minibikes/mopeds and dirtbikes.

I LOVE riding anything with two wheels and a motor and I LOVE the people that ride too, really dont care whether they wave back or not

 

Not only that,,, but when I am on my beat up ol 1st Gen with no second gear, 250K miles, laid back against Tippy, tent flappin in the wind, antelope horns whistling, stickers glistening in the sun, Utah prairie dust mixed with red Georgia clay all over the rims/engine and covered with signatures from the great people we met along the way,,,,, well,,,,,,,, I just assume that everyone KNOWS that ol Tweeks is THE "road king" and a wave back would be pointless :cool10::cool10::cool10::cool10::cool10::cool10:

I missed introducing myself to you too Bmiller!! To my own discredit, that happens farrrr to often to me .. As hard as I try to go around shaking peoples hands and making new friends, I ALWAYS feel bad when I discover that after riding hundreds (sometime thousands) of miles to get to a Rally (VR Rallys = Family Reunions to me) that I missed the golden chance to shake a new friends hand, or take a pic/make a vid!! THAT is one of the hardest parts of being part of such a huge family I guess!!

I look forward to making up for a missed opportunity too brother!!!

THANK YOU for sharing your feelings about my posts BMiller, hearing that makes me so we're square!
