The HD lifestyle thing is too stupid for words.

It must be a regional thing. You would be amazed at how many HD riders out this way wear High-Viz gear and Full Face Helmets. This may also be due in part to Team Oregon (Oregon’s version of MSF)

As to the waving between riders thing... I think it is juvenile to go about waving at other riders you don't know simply because they choose a similar mode of transportation.

Sometimes it's good NOT to fit in...

Sometimes it good to live your own life. And leave others to their own.

RP: WOW 23,000 miles on a single cylinder?
Me: Nah its not bad, these things last forever
RP: nah no way, I've heard that your lucky to get to 10k or 20k.

SHhhhh!!! Don't tell my DR 650 that it has expired over 5000 miles ago. I plan to keep it a secret for another 50K then throw a big bore kit in it and go for another 30.

I got one similar from the clerk at the gas station I frequent. Her, "Probably be the last time you ride this year huh?"

Me, "Hell no"

It was sunny and 38deg

Went to the grocery today and ran into a old HS girl friend. Her husband rides a KTM Duke and is ATGATT.
I'm on my Buell, in my gear, carrying a helmet in my hand, basket in the other.

Her: Did you ride to the grocery?
Me: No Maria, I'm just that clumsy!

She had this look on here face, like "dammit asshole you got me"

We laughed and hugged goodbye.
