okeefe01 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 The real question here is why in the world would Bike Bandit publish a blog post that might alienate any of their customers? I am guessing their might be a position open soon at Bike Bandit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calinazaret Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I hate it when I don't see someone until it's too late to wave. That person rode off thinking I was an asshole and there's nothing I can do about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Can ams have TC and ABS that don't allow this sort of behaviorLameSeriously? Please tell me both have their own fuse...I want to rent one for a day. Sign all the paperwork, then get my (scuffed to shit) leathers out of the car and put them on while it's warming up on the lot. Maybe try to record the rental staff's reactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try to record the rental staff's reactions.There's no switch to disable it, I'm not sure if there's something as simple as pulling a fuse on those or not. Basically, they're really lame and will not let you have fun. They're also impossible to wheelie. Won't happen.I wanted to do the same thing you mention, except with scooters and do it at the gap. I'd sign the extra insurance policy, then pull my leathers out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm kind of a lazy asshole. I usually only wave at bikes I like or people I know. Or hot joggers of course. People who wave at me usually just get a couple of fingers lifted off of my left handlebar in redneck salute style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotleadsingerguy Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don't wave at trikes... or motorcycles/scooters with training wheels. Not just out of spite (because they aren't REALLY motorcycles), but god forbid they try to wave back and can't manage the multitasking, wrecking in some fiery crash... I'd feel terrible. This. I generally don't wave to can-am and scooters because most of them are barely staying on the bike as-is. Adding waving to their list of things to do means there's a good chance they're going to cross the line and run into me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiloharris Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wave at other sport bikes, unless I'm clutching. I hesitate to wave at Harleys until they wave first. Don't wave at scooters but I'm a can am fan and will wave at one. I rev my bike up for the kiddies on the sidewalk and wave to the ones in back of cars. And I yell perverted shit at sexy jogger chicks. I troll ricer Honda kids. And I'll nod at anybody in a car that takes the time to acknowledge me and/or gives me room on the road.

whaler Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wave to mopeds, scooters, bicycles,cars with one headlight, and pretty girls.I'll even wave to a snobby Harley riderand won't get an attitude if he doesn'twave back. I'm an equal opportunitykind of guy. .+1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'll wave at anything that's on 2 or 3 wheels. Usually the 2 fingers out to the side and if they don't wave back, it turns up into the air with only the middle one sticking out. Then I murmur a fuck you in my helmet and speed away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phreon Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Man, these rules about waving are so cornfusing. I just do it when I feel like it, or to return a wave. Cruiser, sport bike, bimmer, whatever. Kind of weird though; riding my little Vulcan 500, I get waves more often than not, but when I'm on the ol' Nighthawk, it's almost nothing. It almost feels like I'm actually pissing off the Harley guys somehow. I'm just happy to be out there on wheels, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try tapping on your helmet to advise of an upcoming law enforcement gunning for speeders.That normally gets me the finger. Normally because the person isn't wearing a helmet.People get sooooo pissy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's a free country. I didn't think we needed rules for waving on a motorcycle.All that aside, it's been nice out here in NM where everyone waves to everyone; car, truck, bike, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's easier to spot as a non-cruiser. To a lot of Harley guys, I think that waving to a UJM is a beatable crime by fellow SOA fans.

To a lot of Harley guys, I think that waving to a UJM is a beatable crime by fellow SOA fans. The funny thing is, my Nighthawk is cheap ol' 93 beater I've been wrenching on and slowly bringing back to life. It's road worthy, but has a junkyard quality to it at the moment. Are they upset because they don't know how to work on their chrome laden garage queens? Or the mega-payment killing their pocket book? Honestly, I'd think a group of bikers would avoid using the word "pirate" in their name. So much joke fodder - must resist. MUST RESIST!

tall_tracy Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I mostly only wave at other orange bikes, unless it's an odd numbered day, but sometimes if it's the weekend & unless the sun is shining then maybe. LolBut I almost always wave, because, why not? Life too short to be stingy with waves... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
