deep in the heart of texasWill it be allowed, oil is like politics or maybe religion to some
Nothing wrong with starting an oil thread. Participating in one....ummm?Will it be allowed, oil is like politics or maybe religion to some
I use Minke Whale oil in my bike. It loves it, instantly solved my low oil pressure and rod knock issue. Even fixed my dying battery. Hard to get though, but some stranger online said it was the best, and my baby gets the best.

I wave to everyone. I live the delayed reaction then the hyper-excited wave you get back after waving to a scooter or ebike rider.
No. I only wave at other motorbikes.
Sure. It could be someone who has ridden for 40 years and has come down with vertigo.
Some guys I know on Spyders are amongst the longest tenured and insanely experienced 2 wheel riders out there but just can't do 2 wheels anymore for medical reasons.
It's all the same wind, I wave at em, who cares.

I was explaining this to people a while ago!
Not only is waving naff, but in Aus the oncoming rider is on our throttle hand side, so waving is hard.
Nodding rules. Waving is dumb.
Doing Canadian stuff down under is dumb.
Doing Aussie stuff in Canada is....well?
Dilligaff.

claiming american behavior as canadian is so...canadian?
Wait, are we stealing valor?
"A more realistic explanation comes from the surge of returning service members after WWII, who bought military surplus motorcycles in droves. The abundance of motorcycles and the solidarity among veterans gave birth to the American biker culture as a whole, and motorcyclists in those days were eager to greet each other with a wave on the road. It wasn’t just as a biker thing, but also as a veteran thing – at that time, it was safe to assume that any male of that age group on a chopped Harley or Indian in those days had served in the war."

Another source claims it was an american harley thing:
"The misty-eyed answer is because back in 1904, Arthur Davidson and William Harley apparently passed each other while riding their motorcycles on the road in Milwaukee and, since they knew one another and worked together, each offered a wave of greeting; somebody saw this and thought it pretty cool, and next thing you knew, everyone on a bike was doing it."

It’s the age-old question, but it’s not so simple anymore.

Of course why not?
Everyone except rukus, ebikes, or scooters, because its confusing for them, they don't get it.
I always give scooter riders a big wave. Don't forget about the "Mad Bastard" gang. And our own Wobblycat on his Darthscooter.
I have a Mustang too, and they all like to wave and/or flash high beams at each other.
It’s all rather silly to me.
Just pay attention to riding/driving.
Well, to be fair, it helps if you have some excuses to pull out after you slide sideways through a crowd.

When I’m on my Yamaha, Harley riders don’t wave at me.
When I’m on my Harley, I wave or nod at everybody. Except Yamahas.
