How many miles per gallon does a Zuma scooter get?
Back in the 60's and 70's there were only a few of us bike riders. When you saw another rider, you'd give him the solidarity wave (that's the fist in the air) showing you'd be there for him. As such you'd expect him to be there for you as well.06'ZX10-R stalling in corners.The bike is pretty much stock with the exception of a PC3.?
It's not a rule but assurance that if you're stranded on the side of the road, I'd pull over to give you a hand, no questions asked.
looking for a front bumper for a 2001 yamaha blaster?
Sometime since the 80's it changed from a fist to a wave. Since bikes are much more reliable and people have cell phones, the likelyhood of someone actually needing a hand is very slim. I still pull over for bikers on the side of the road unless I can see for sure they're ok (like a cell phone or if he waves me off).
what oil should be in a 1980 yamaha maxium 650?
As to waving, most real bikers will wave to anyone. The newer crop of "bikers" who are accountants, doctors, or computer folk haven't been around bikes long enough to really understand that it's us against all the cagers and not HD riders against everyone.

Why do people assume there is an unwritten rule because they witness a few people do something? I ride a cruiser and wave at everyone, regardless of style or brand. It is a universal love of being on two wheels, and all who share that are noticed when I ride. Wave or don't your call, but I do.Anyone have a good suggestion for a stereo for my Harley Davidson Heritage Softail?
Your are misinformed. Its not that way.There is no Beef.
And the person who didn't wave this morning might tomorrow. There's just no telling anymore. I'll return a wave, if I see it, and I can. Sometimes, but not always, I'll initiate one. There are many factors. I'm not going to let go of my clutch in the middle of a shift just 'cause somebody waved. I'll be nice, but I'm not gonna crash doing it.
all the new instant bikers don't know the rules.
No special rule, just cameraderie. If I can wave, I'll wave. If I can't, I'll nod my head, and I don't care what they're riding.

I just want to quote Shalom AuslanderHey Harley Riders, what kind of support vehicle do you ride with?
I love motorcycles, and I love riding. Like many of you, what first drew me to bikes was not just the experience of riding, but the feeling that I'd become part of a special community--a brotherhood, really. Nothing calms me more than a long ride down the interstate, waving to the members of my beloved clan. Except when I pass Harley guys. I hate Harley guys. Hate, hate, hate. When they pass me on the highway, you know what I do? I don't wave. With their little tassle handlebars and the studded luggage and the half-helmets--God, they drive me crazy.
do you like to ride a harley with a older man?
You know who else I hate? BMW guys. Oh, I do hate those guys. I don't wave at them, either. They think they're so great, sitting all upright, with their 180-degree German engines. God, I hate them. They're almost as bad as those old bastards on their touring motorcycles. You know what I call those bikes? "Two-wheeled couches!" Get it? Because they're so big. They drive around like they've got all day. Appreciate the scenery somewhere else, Grampa, and while you're at it, I'm not waving to you.
Ducati guys--I don't wave at them either. Why don't they spend a little more money on their bikes? "You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's red." Aren't you cool! Like they even know what a desmo-whatever engine is, anyway. Try finding the battery, you Italian-wannabe racers! I never, ever wave at those guys.
Why is the Kawasaki Z1000 considered a sport bike, it looks more like a Harley styled bike?
Suzuki guys aren't much better, which is why I never wave at them, either. They always have those stupid helmets sitting on top of their stupid heads, and God forbid they should wear any safety gear. They make me so mad. Sometimes they'll speed by and look over at me and you know what I do? I don't wave. I just keep on going. Please, don't get me started on Kawasaki guys. Ninjas? What are you, twelve years old? Team Green my ***. I never wave at Kawasaki guys.
i need to win this chopper to save my marrage. where's the form for me to sign up to win this bike??
I ride a Honda, and I'll only wave at Honda guys, but even then, I'll never wave at a guy in full leathers. Never, never, never. Yeah, like you're going to get your knee down on the New York Thruway. Nice crotch, by the way. Guys in full leathers will never get a wave from me, and by the way, neither will the guys in two-piece leathers. And I'll tell you who else I'm not waving at -- those guys with the helmets with the loud paintjobs. Four pounds of paint on a two-pound helmet – like I'm going to wave back to that! I'll also never wave at someone with a mirrored visor. Or helmet stickers. Or racing gloves. Or hiking boots.
Anyone got a Honda Africa Twin?
To me, motorcycling is a like a family, a close-knit brotherhood of people who ride Hondas, wear jeans and a leather jacket (not Vanson) with regular gloves and a solid-color helmet with a clear visor, no stickers, no racing gloves and regular boots (not Timberlands). And isn't that what really makes riding so special?
What's it worth, 1959 BSA Golden Flash Motorcycle?
I ride a big ol' fat fendered Suzuki cruiser and I wave at everybody. If somebody doesn't wave back I shrug it off. Their loss as I see it because bikers share a camaraderie that the general population never will. It draws us closer. The notion that I shouldn't wave because of the make of bike the other guy/girl rides is just ludicrous. Of course there are some hard core riders that feel their machine is the only bike out there but that is their choice to feel that way. And also their loss. Actually I feel kind of sorry for small minded people like that. The world is such a tiny place for them. Pity.Why doesn't Harley rebuild 1200's ??
well in my neighborhood there is a beef! sissys ride with a windshield playing corny music. real bikers cant hear anything over thier loud pipes.Anybody rememeber the magnificent 7?
I ride a Harley cruiser and I wave regardless of what brand or type of bike the other guy is riding. Usually I get a wave back. When I don't, there's no rule as to the type of bike being ridden. Those who don't wave back are generally the crotch rocket guys but I have been snubbed by cruiser riders as well. The wave is about acknowledging a common love of two wheels and an engine. Those who don't wave or only wave to a like brand have missed the essence of riding or are the r.u.b. who's riding because they need something to do to show off. There is no rule about waving. If you really understand what motorcycling is about you'd know there is no "beef". The "beef" you're witnessing are riders on the fringe who just don't get what its all about.More Questions & Answers ...
