The one great thing about riding a motorcycle is the camaraderie of fellow bikers you meet on the road.
Because we are kindred spirits out on the road, bared to the world not surrounded by a cage, bikers have developed a nifty little habit of waving to each other. Like an acknowledgement of the fun and adventure we are sharing.
Sometimes it can be a little tiring and boring when the road is loaded with bikers but in most cases it is a salute to one another and usually merited.
Recently on a trip through the Rockies we came upon a pack of riders and despite my friendly wave and salute, not one in the pack of Harleys waved back.
After my friend and riding partner stopped for lunch, I mentioned that not one of that pack of bikes had waved back and I mentioned that after not receiving a wave back, I gave them the finger.
That was because that was the Hells Angel he stated, looking at me like I was some kind of organ donor.
At which point, I admitted that they were a mile past when I gave them the one finger salute.
