I gave up on the wave--too busy looking out for women on cell phones driving SUVs and trying to turn left. I only blip the throttle when it's just us, or once to wake people up because the light's about to go green. |

I don't really fit into any sort of group. I wear a bright yellow armored jacket, black armored overpants with silver reflectors, bright yellow gloves, silver helmet and black boots on an old not-really-a-cruiser-not-really-a- sportbike Yamaha. I must look like some aging Stryper groupie. To me there is a big difference between wanting to be seen and wanting to be looked at. |

Apex, I would say your story astounds me, but not so much. I bet the dude with the busted ankle never rides (if that's what you want to call it) again. I feel sure they've never so much as changed the oil on their bikes.

Had a solo guy in on a heavily patina'd '53 Panhead a week or so back, freighted down. He'd started in Portland Oregon on Memorial Day and was hoping to be back in Portland by Labor Day. He'd been to Sturgis, Four Corners, The Grand Canyon, Vegas, Gulf Coast Texas, The Arch, The Amish, Niagra Falls, New England, New York, DC and had spent the previous days winding down through the Appalachians. He was on his way to the Keys for a weeks rest and fishing before making a bee-line for the PNW. The Pan asked for a kicker spring in Texas, tires in Boston and and a tune up in Virginia. He bitched about the quality of gas in the west, the quality of the LEOS in the North and the quality of the general population of DC. 4,800 miles down, 3,500+ to go. When he left, I turned to the boss man and said; "Got two words for that: Hard. Core." |

Apex, THAT is a great story. And yeah, I have seen many like it.

Anyway, when the agent got his new cut, he figured it was too new, too clean, so he poured beer on it and drove over it with his truck a few dozen times. |

Dying here.
"Wild Hogs" was a cheap popcorn movie... right up until the end, when Peter Fonda showed up and said "Son... I think you need to remember why you ride again" or similar. |

In my chapter there are only two guys who ride pretty much no matter what--one out of necessity (no car) and the other because he wants to (me.) Of course, the day I rode home on I-95 with a 1/4" of snow covering the surface wasn't exactly smart, but I survived it. That time. |

Pretty much, I raise my hand off the grip but I am not taking my hand off and pointing "two down low".
