Waving to other riders

[Hellgate]

+1, and it really pisses me off when they ride up the sidewalk and park like if the resteraunt is facing another direction than the parking lot. It takes alot to not take the valve stem out or something... They are riding to show off, not to ride. Their loss I guess. One day they will understand what riding is about.

morons.

I've noticed alot of those types of bike for sale too. Real Harley riders will keep their bikes through thick and thin. The neo-chopper dude bail on them. I wonder if there is even a used market for those things? I'd have to imagine that there is no or little value to them on the used market.

When I sell my FZ one day I plan to put the bike back to stock, stock has much more value used than a custom bike or car.

I was waiting a a set of lights, mother with infant boy in stroller, not more than 2 maybe, walked past me. Hidden behind my tinted shield the boy quickly looked at me then turn his head away. I must of looked scary to him. Once they made it to the other side, he looked again. This time I was ready for him. I waved to him.

He had a smile ear to ear and tugging on his mom to look my way.

PRICELESS!!!
