I live in a city flooded with Harley Davidson's. Several reasons for this. The Honda/Kawasaki/Yamaha dealer SUCKED for so long, the guy was a jerk, you would never see anyone on the showroom or in the parking lot. The Harley dealer was GREAT. The bikes may not have been as reliable, but he took care of his customers.
Nonetheless, the Harley riders are getting better in that they wave and smile while I am on the F6B. There was a time that they would NEVER wave as you passed by, they would wait until you were a confirmed "brother". I would be out on my bike, perhaps the ST1300, FJR 1300, or my 2012 Goldwing, just enjoying the ride. I would come up on some Harley's and noted as I got close to them, they would speed up so they wouldn't get passed by me. I would ride like that for three or four miles, and they would back it off after that. I couldn't help myself but to whick it up and blow passed them like they were in second gear. Just one of those things.
Say what you will but I get more waves from Harley riders when I'm on my F6B than I get from Wing riders when I'm on my old Harley.
Wing riders seem to think their motorcycle is the pinnacle of engineering while mine is an ancient relic. I think most Wing riders need to hang up their phone, put down their sippy cup, turn off their cruise control; and GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WAY!😀
I get a kick out of the "BROS" just about falling off their bikes trying to wave!
They are the "So Lonely Bunch"!
From the OTHER side of the freeway, they wave!
All most falling off!
Personally, if their deepest mechanical experience is "what kind of wax to use" they are rather boorish.
I guess I am nasty to the core,
but the second some bro wants to meet and talk to me, I ask him a heatseeker question.
If I get the deer in the headlight look I am already out of time.
