The Wave: 10 reasons why ...

Hi: I snitched this from some other motorcycling site: I hope you enjoy them. :D

TOP 10 REASONS WHY HARLEY RIDERS DON’T WAVE BACK:
• Afraid it will invalidate warranty.
• Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm.
• Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.
• Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
• Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.
• Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.
• Just discovered that fine print in owner’s manual and realized that H-D is partially owned by Honda.
• Can’t tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.
• Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spike helmet.
• They’re too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY GOLDWING RIDERS DON’T WAVE BACK:
• Wasn’t sure whether other riders was waving or making an obscene gesture.
• Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip.
• Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm.
• Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him.
• The espresso machine just finished.
• Was actually asleep when other rider waved.
• Was in a three-way conference call with stockbroker and accessories dealer.
• Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen.
• Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature, and satellite navigation system.
• Couldn’t find the “auto wave back” button on dashboard.

TOP 10 REASONS SPORTBIKES DON’T WAVE BACK:
• They have not been riding long enough to know they’re supposed to.
• They’re going too fast to have enough time to register the movement and respond.
• You weren’t wearing bright enough gear.
• If they stick their arm out going that fast, they’ll rip it out of the socket.
• They’re too occupied with trying to get rid of chicken strips.
• They look way too cool with both hands on the bars or they don’t want to unbalance themselves while standing on the tank.
• Their skin tight-kevlar-ballistic-nylon-kangaroo-leather suits prevent any position other than fetal.
• Raising an arm allows bugs into the armholes of their tank tops.
• It’s too hard to do one-handed stoppies.
• They were too busy slipping their flip-flops back on.

TOP 10 REASONS WHY BMW RIDERS DON’T WAVE BACK:
• New Aerostitch suit too stiff to raise arm.
• Removing a hand from the bars is considered “bad form”.
• Your bike isn’t weird enough looking to justify acknowledgement.
• Too sore from an 800-mile day ride on a stock “comfort” seat.
• Too busy programming the GPS, monitoring radar, listening to Ipod, XM, or talking on the cell phone.
• He’s an Iron Butt rider and you’re not!
• Wires from Gerbings are too short.
• You’re not riding the “right kind” of BMW.
• You haven’t been properly introduced.
• Afraid it will be misinterpreted as a friendly gesture.

Yesterday I had to adjust my normal wave to a high and tight open handed one. Was passing a rather large and cheering prison work detail. Just seemed like the thing to do at the moment.

Secondly, not saying I did this of course, but what is the current penality for waving at a winger?

You ride one in the afterlife?
