Is this what motorcycling has come to? A whine fest of who's not waving and which brands have the snobbiest riders? Christonacrutch! My late grandmother's knitting circle had tougher broads in it.
Just because mommy raised you to believe that you are a unique and special snowflake doesn't make it true. The world is a cold, cruel and capricious place. There is war, famine, pestilence. And a lack of waving. Such are the horrors of our times.
I ride a Harley.
I almost never wave.
But in almost 40 years of riding I have never - not once - passed a rider on the side of the road without stopping to help. I have lent tools, given gas money, push started until my legs fell off. I have gone home and fetched my truck to haul a stranger's bike to a shop (and been late for my kid's birthday because of it). I have been first on the scene to a couple minor accidents and provided first aid and helped pick up parts. I have ridden many miles out my way to follow bikes home who thought they might not make it.
But you're crying about not getting waved at.
So here's what I propose.
If you're ever on the side of the road, I'll just ride by. But I'll wave like my arm is on fire as I do.
