I had a harley guy wave to another harley who was about 1/8th of a mile ahead of me... then just stare at me as I went by... caught up to the guy in front of me at a light... looked at him and waved... he just stared...

Damn... must be hard living up to the image...

I find around here there is no point even raising the hand, 9 out of 10 bikes are Hardleys. I've heard "rice burner POS" so many times in the last year that I just say it for them.

The safety vest is required for the military, yes.........But personally I think it's a good idea for anyone whose bike and gear are all black. Unless they enjoy being invisible, that is.

yes and NO they've changed the reg... at least for the Air Force to say any contrasting material... so my Dayglo jacket works I don't need a vest.

shit my Squadron's motorcycle safety rep wears a Joe Rocket Red ballistic mesh... and that passes... they've seem to gone to more MOTORCYLE jackets rather than the safety vests...


but I agree I think it's a good idea... hence why I bought this to ride on my black DRZ

The Amish like to wave at us when out on the bikes.
If I'm out running, then cars, bikes, etc like to wave to me.
