goose wrote:a scoot jockey... and no wave back. Then again, they were new scoots.... and perhaps they were high on the Jasmine scented 2 stroke smoke.

Man, they were probably so startled they didn't have a chance to react Kinda like if we were riding by the zoo and the silverback gorillas leaned out of the cages to hold up signs protesting de-forestation in western Antarctica. We'd be halfway home and still thinking WTF?? Did that really happen?

Top ten reasons BMW riders don't wave:

10) It says in the BMW operators manual that removal of hands from the bars can be hazardous not just because it may increase loss of control but can also partially block the reflective orange vest.

9) They are busy doing doing math trying to figure out if they can get more miles by taking the turn wider.

Their arms are sore from the potato sack races at the rally the day before.

7) They are on the way to another rally and want to save their upper body strength for the upcoming potato sack race.

6) they are playing around with that stupid fucking electric-servo powered windshield.

5) the heated grips overloaded and welded the rubber rain gloves they were wearing to the grips. They've been riding for 300 days straight now, been through the Sahara, traversed the grand canyon and still managed to win one of the fore mentioned potato sack races. Hell, they may have died of old age by now but only the Goldwing riders would be able to tell.

4) It's an R1200C and they are using every available hand to hold the shitty German chrome to the bike since superglue, velcro and maple syrup didn't work.

3) They are so stoned on weed, thin air, exhaustion or antihistamines that they'll wave back, it just won't be for a couple miles.

2) They put their flip-up helmet on backwards, couldn't remove it and are simply navigating with the GPS speaking instructions to them.

1) Their gearbox exploded at 10k miles and they are suddenly as confused as the scooterists they just waved at.
