I have the opposite experience. If I see someone coming the other way with a motorized two-wheel, I give them the wave. I often get surprised looks from moped riders.

For me, it isn't about comaradery with other riders. It is about helping each other stay alert. I don't get upset if they don't wave back, I just assume they either 1. Don't feel it's safe to take one hand off the bars, 2. Don't believe in waving, or 3. Are alseep on their bike. I have seen someone waving at me too late to respond and realized I was not even paying attention.

They may have saved my life...

After the way we were treated at the Barber Vintage Festival by the Ducatisti, I wouldn't complain about another marque's owners acting elitist.

Ha! If only she knew!

Ride or park a vintage CB750 anywhere and it's hard to get away from questions or statements like "I always wanted one of those", "My ___________ had one of those" and, often with a far away look in their eyes "I had one of those, wished I never sold it".

On the other hand, the Harley crowd loves my Guzzi...

Ronin ADV · 10-25-2011, 09:22 AM

Guzzi snob.

lemieuxmc · 10-25-2011, 09:31 AM

The Harley crowd likes the Norton, the /7 with sidecar, and the German Shepherd too!

RidingDonkeys · 10-25-2011, 01:46 PM

The HOG guys tend to be a big fan of Boris the Ural too. Or maybe it's the cute gal driving it?

I don't care what you ride, just ride!
