I see a wave ( judging style of bike, make model, size of engine, analyzing gear, helmet, bandana, determining riders experience, counting wheels) check (determine appropriate response, nod, wave, dip hand under left bar, peace sign, finger) check. *finger* it is.

That's pretty intense. I had no idea. Thanks for revisiting your "zero effort" stance. I think you've made the correct decision. And fast too. I'd be honoured to have you *finger* me.
 
If I had a nickel for every time I missed waving back to someone, I could probably buy something worth $10. Does that mean I deserve the wanker sign or the finger?

You wouldn't get it from me. I can tell the difference between "missing a wave" and a full blown snub. I understand sometimes you are watching traffic, clutching, paying attention otherwise. I'm sure I've missed waves as well, but how would I know?

This is why people get into bar fights. There's a difference between a full blown snub and a zen moment. You are not at the centre of everybodys' universe.
 
Who cares what other people ride or don't ride. It's bizarre that anyone would be bothered by it.

Dead Thread Revival - but apropos for the new riding season.

Technically, i'm no longer a motorcyclist. I haven't ridden road-legal since Oct 2010.

My garage currently holds one 'fully-enclosed' sidecar rig, with *gasp* car tyres on it. I've got a *horror* vintage scooter in there, also. There is a few other projects in there, also occupying space. The shame of it all, is a beater 4 wheeled ATV occupying a corner of the garage. They way i see it, i've got 2 x 2 wheelers in that.. all it would take is a sawz-all, to make it right in the OP's world!

I had been riding since 1987. The amount of two and three-wheelers in my garage over the past 25 years has been myriad and numerous.

The two other three-wheelers (sidecar rigs) that i had, were a matter of choice, not circumstance.

The sidecar rig in the garage now, was a circumstance of one situation (wrecked bike converted over, vs scrapped) now changed to a different situation (health issues keeping me off a solo bike for remainder of life-time).

Would i have considered the can-am 'tadpole trike' as an answer to my physical disabilities? If it meant getting back on the road, in a fricken heart-beat. Two things prevent a can-am from landing in my garage - a slumbering sidecar rig in the garage already, just requiring a reversing gear modification, and $25k cash that i don't have for a can-am.

2014 is the year i bring the sidecar rig out of slumber, break out the instruments of modification, and get it ready hopefully for a new season of riding in 2015.. if i am ready to be able to do so.

Judge not why that person is riding what he or she is riding - you just may not be capable of understanding. The need to have the knees out in the windstream, is not contingent upon what you ride..

TL;DR: it's not what you ride, it's that you ride. OP, hopefully you've got over yourself by now, are enjoying the new riding season, and are waving to everyone regardless of circumstance or wheel configuration.
 
I wave at everyone and everything, even the fuzz except for e bikes. I heard they don't have to pay insurance like the rest of us.

And in the memory of MM, Holla Holla get dollaz
 
Not a pity-party gent's.. but thanks. I will be back out there again.

Just did my couple-monthly "sidecar" search on the forum, and pinged back with this dead-thread.. needed to point out that sometimes, one's 'choice' of form in riding configuration is sometimes limited and beyond control, and most often lays far deeper than a 'personal standards' choice as to what is deemed acceptable for one to "wave at".

All rather shallow, really, to have to declare in public that you won't wave at someone.

Just run what you brought.. enjoy, and do your own thing. Let other's do the same.
