chollahan Posted June 13, 2008 #1 Posted June 13, 2008 Ok, so on my way in to work this evening, I pass a couple of Ventures on the road. Everytime I pass one, I wonder, "Are they a member of VR?" I think we ought to come up with a "secret" wave so we know who is a member as we pass. Then again, I may be smokin crack:rotf:. Any ideas?
flb_78 Posted June 13, 2008 #2 Posted June 13, 2008 **** warning, a couple of wordy durds ***** www.Venturerider.org does not endorse the use of foul and/or abusive language [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=uvXZe9IFJQQ]YouTube - Mordeth13 Biker Wave[/ame] I nominate the "hello kitty" wave. "YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!"
GigaWhiskey Posted June 13, 2008 #3 Posted June 13, 2008 I actually had thought of this too, lol. Yea, i am sure a bunch of others have too. I was thinking a peace sign. It looks like a "V". Adding the "R" just takes too many fingers and they don't bend enough.
chollahan Posted June 14, 2008 Author #4 Posted June 14, 2008 The first thing I thought of was a "V" as well.
BEER30 Posted June 14, 2008 #5 Posted June 14, 2008 I usually stick my finger in my nose at HD riders , but that's only if they do not wave back . I find more crotch rockets wave more that HD's as well . GW guys are swell as they want me to notice their purdy scooters . How about an upside down V with the fingers with thumb extended . Then you have a /\r . You know , like the hand gesture the boys in the hood make , but without the pistol in their hand :rotf: BEER30

1BigDog Posted June 14, 2008 #7 Posted June 14, 2008 I say lets just stand on one foot on the passenger seat while singing Ozzies Crazy Train when we see another Venture:rotf::rotf:
friesman Posted June 14, 2008 #8 Posted June 14, 2008 I say lets just stand on one foot on the passenger seat while singing Ozzies Crazy Train when we see another Venture:rotf::rotf: yeah what he said!
WilCruise Posted June 14, 2008 #9 Posted June 14, 2008 Already adopted a Venture wave myself. Since I think the V4 is the defining feature of the Venture I focus on that. When I see another Venture I: raise a 2 Finger V... Then 4 fingers (V4)... Then a Thumbs up! 'course I probably confuse more Venture jockeys than I connect with, but I feel good about it!
BuddyRich Posted June 14, 2008 #11 Posted June 14, 2008 There is a VR flag already. Backwards peace sign is going to be kinda hard to see at a distance.

Maybe this is what you said or meant: raise your hand, split the fingers between the middle and ring finger (some may have to practice a little). You now have a V with two (cylinders, forward and back) on reach side.

You now have a V with two (cylinders, forward and back) on reach side. You must be a TREKKIE , Live long and prosper , Mr. Spock . Next , the Vulcan Mind meld . BEER30
BEER30 Posted June 14, 2008 #16 Posted June 14, 2008 Yeah , wouldn't Mini , Mama , and Cindy look cool with Pointy ears ? :rotf: BEER30
V7Goose Posted June 14, 2008 #17 Posted June 14, 2008 You must be a TREKKIE , Live long and prosper , Mr. Spock . Next , the Vulcan Mind meld . BEER30 The mind meld is gonna be tough when passing someone going in the opposite direction, but I am willing to try it if you are! Goose
Lone Eagle Posted June 14, 2008 #19 Posted June 14, 2008 There is a VR flag already. Who has the VR flag - I sure would like to get one???
Owen Posted June 14, 2008 #20 Posted June 14, 2008 ...... GW guys are swell as they want me to notice their purdy scooters . BEER30 :rotf::rotf::rotf: sorry...
Yama Mama Posted June 14, 2008 #21 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Well I am not sure about me having pointed ears Beer. Here is a photo of my flag we have however. I will take a better photo tomorrow if you want. The secret wave I am not sure maybe hold you hand down with fingers in shape of a V. That would be easier. Such problems. Mama Edited June 14, 2008 by Yama Mama
Dragonslayer Posted June 14, 2008 #22 Posted June 14, 2008 If it didn't require so much thought and practice to master this sign I would think that this would be the perfect wave. Because after all don't we want all of our Venture friends to live long and prosper.
az1103 Posted June 14, 2008 #23 Posted June 14, 2008 How bout this, the reversed peace sign, palm facing your face. I would be carefull with that one... Brits interpret that as "up yours twice":rotf:
gibvel Posted June 14, 2008 #24 Posted June 14, 2008 The secret wave I am not sure maybe hold you hand down with fingers in shape of a V. That would be easier. Heck, I already do it this way all the time. Shoot, very short learning curve for me. Thing is, I've seen Harley riders do this too.
mini-muffin Posted June 14, 2008 #25 Posted June 14, 2008 Yeah , wouldn't Mini , Mama , and Cindy look cool with Pointy ears ? :rotf: BEER30 Heck Gene I'm already short now you want me to have pointy ears too. Oh to help this along, Jeff said put your hand in the shape of holding an ice cream cone and lick the air. That would work with this bunch. It's not only a way to say hi, but it definitely represents the love of food (more specifically ice cream). Margaret
