So that's why none of the Harley riders wave back. I once saw some impressive statistics on Harleys, 98% of all Harleys are still on the road..........
Only 2% ever made it home.

Which reminds me... what is the deal with that? I haven't been riding that long but I am an equal-opportunity waver. I get no love from Harley riders. I figured it was because of the jap bike, but why the snub? Is it really that big of a deal? CB - you know as well as I do - we burn more gas with our American F-150's than a Harley rider could dream of.
Hell, I waive at every bike and even scooters, but some don't return it. And I ride a Harley. Oh well, life goes on.
I try to wave to everyone, I admit sometimes don't not because trying to be snob but as new street rider sometimes just have to concentrate on where I am going LOL, but if can't wave I do give a nod of acknowlegement
Heck, even I get some rubbing from time to time from the hardcore HD guys because I ride a "Skirtster" as they call it. LOL Then I just joke with them that I did not have to pay the amount = to the debt of 3rd world country for my bike nor do I have to tie it up to a pier to park it lol. But its all good, American or Japanese. Motocycles are like women, f all are pretty just that some are prettier than others !!!

Where's the commandment requiring an exhaust so loud that you can be heard coming from three counties away?

OK, I almost peed myself laughing at that one.Only 2% ever made it home.
Alright, ..Heres something I've wandered about for awile.
When you "nod" instead of waive, DO you:
a; dip your chin Down to acnowledge the other person? (as if dipping your forhead toward them) or--
b; point chin outward and upward toward the other person (like the Indians did)? (Kinda like you're pointing at them with your chin)
Think theres not a difference?
You bet your Azz there is.
Chins up boys!
c; do you believe I think to much? probably right.^/

I'm new here and reading through all the comments but what I have to say to this quote is you have been riding alot becuase you have been thinking to much. Thinking is not always a good thing.
When me and my husband get back from a long ride he has come up with a wild idea and then I just roll my eyes, shake my head and tell him he has had to much time to think.MyChopperBlog.com
Yup

I think theres more respect in the bowed head, chin up is more like an aknowledgement of presence or a greeting. If two men bow there head to one another i believe it shows more equality.Alright, ..Heres something I've wandered about for awile.

Harley sales
One little tid bit I just read is that Harley has increased its sales in Europe by 25% each year for two years running and it is also the #1 best selling big bike in Japan. Not sure what they class as a big bike over there and have not checked this out as the truth yet. Hard to believe but then they even like baseball over there.
Oh it is in there somewhere. I saw it a time or two and it is a law not just a commandment. I think it even refers to some Bikes in the Bible. Something about David Triumphed throughout the land,and he could be heard near and far or something like that. I believe it was the Trophy model back then with straight pipes. Harleys were not on sale over there yet.Where's the commandment requiring an exhaust so loud that you can be heard coming from three counties away?

It's a country that had a whole subculture that thought customizing and pimping out Chevy Astro vans was cool.
Revision 1
1. Forget not, thy Harley and a multitude of Jap bikes are American Assembled from foreign parts.
2. Keep thy chrome without blemish, as it is a sign of self respect and looks great.
3. Service thy ride at the local bike garage, for the dealer is a stealer.
4. Ride anytime there is time for tomorrow is promised to no man. It repaireth thy soul.
5. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors ride, but taketh pride in your own.
6. Thou shalt acknowledge thy brother cyclist with a wave, regardless of brand. To abstain is the sign of the bike snob, possessed by the demon commercialism and in need of a reality check.
7. Thou shalt not pass nor turn away from any rider in mechanical distress. Do unto them as you would want done to you.
8. Thou shalt not be a poser who only rides on weekends. (See commandment #4)
9. Take joy in thy ride and associate with those who are also believers.
10. Keep thy bike in good working condition, for neglect is an abomination
