My wife's bike is a Kawi 454LTD and the Harley guys always wave. Interestingly I was gassing up the Kawi one day and a Harley guy (late model fatboy) came over and complimented my Harley. He was of course ignoring the Kawi badging on the sidecovers (the tank is custom with no badging) the inline twin motor and the big radiator upfront. Eh whatever... He did give me a funny look when I fired it up and took off, being liquid cooled it is very very quiet. -Curt Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 02:36:12 -0500 From: "Zoltan Finks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] The wave To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Ah. Interesting insight, Bruce. Interesting subject to me. I've seen school bus drivers wave to city bus drivers. I've known Harley riders not to wave at Jap bike riders (but other, more congenial Harley riders do - even to crotch rockets!). I can say that I often wave to other fellow commuters on bicycles - especially in the winter around here, when you truly have something in common with them (fortitude).

Besides which that discussion is also largely an oversimplification. Now that I've been riding for a few years several of my friends have asked me "When are you going to "move up" to a Harley?" Frankly I see no "up" to move to in the Harley world. My Honda is more powerful, more reliable, more manuverable, faster and overall more cool than any Harley. My Father-in-law rides a Harley Ultra Classic (the big old man's bike) and is one of the few people I know who understands. He and I have an understanding about that bike. He knows the only reason I begrudgingly accept it is because its fuel injected which I think makes an otherwise worthless powerplant appear civilized. Thus when he dies I'll inherit the bike as otherwise it'll just be sold off while for my part I promise to appreciate it for what it is. -Curt Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 19:49:05 +0930 From: "Hendrik Riessen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] The wave To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original There is a reason Harley riders don't like ricers. Every couple of years some doctor or other gets the cotton wool out and wants to ban motorcycling because it it is dangerous and kills riders. Problem is one day some sort of politically correct government will listen and start to ban two wheeling. The vast majority of motorcyle only fatalities are young inexperienced riders on Jap bikes, this makes for good fodder for the local rag.

There aint no cure for stupid, but that cured his harley fever, once and for all. With any bike, you have the same basics - several hundred pounds of metal, ridden by a couple of hundred pounds of unenclosed, unprotected flesh and bone, capable of high speed, with the area of rubber touching the road no larger than the sole of a single tennis shoe. There are only two kinds of biker, those who have parted ways with their bike at speed, and those who eventually will if they keep riding. It is an enlightening experience if you survive it.
