He started to lose control and barely saved it! The guy was Incapable of riding with only one hand, LOL, my buddies and I got a good hard laugh out of that one!

sciongirl Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 haha im a noob but are you supposed to wave at someone coming the opposite direction on the freeway? i just saw some guy do that....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 haha im a noob but are you supposed to wave at someone coming the opposite direction on the freeway? i just saw some guy do that.......It's a topic of great discussion. The general concensus is yes. I think it's dumb on the freeway, especially a divided freeway. Pay attention to your own side of the road.I generally don't wave a whole lot because I think it's silly. It's like wearing black make-up so you can be emo...well after awhile so many people are wearing black make-up that you're not really anything special anymore...
