I haven't noticed the HD group in particular not waving. Sport bike riders around here don't all that often. The ones that strike me more as a true motorcyclist do, but the "squids" never do. I usually notice the not waving thing more around certain times of the year. Usually the (few) perfect riding days in the spring and fall when all the fair weather riders get the bikes out for their once or twice a year ride. It spans across all makes and models though, no one group in particular is more at fault than the other. Maybe HD, but I think that's just because they're more popular than other makes and models so there are more of them.

  Up here it is hit and miss, but the sport bikes seldom wave to anyone, and a lot of the H-D guys are too worried about parts falling off so they are not looking to wave. Me I am so happy to be out riding I wave to near anyone but the E bikes.

We still get waves from most of the cruiser guys, but the crotch rockets are a 50-50 shot.

Most of the boys here in Harley country will still give me a high sign. Honda guys rarely and crotch rockets - never!  The one thing I do find is a total lack of curiosity over the Drifter.  I hear other stories how guys walk away from their Drifter only to find a crowd assembled around their bike when they return.  Never happened to me here in Harley country.

It occurred to me the other day, that it **seems** like maybe the HD riders are waving less to me.   Any other Drifters experience this???  The thought occurred to me that perhaps they think the Drifter is a new Indian - and don't like it.... ???  Infringing on their USA-made territory.??

I don't really have a big enough sample size to say for sure yet, just thought I'd ask.
