To wave or not to wave - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

UnEasy Rider · 07-16-2013, 01:09 PM

With all the snips about waving, and the huge thread about the owner selling his car because nobody waved... This was stolen from an M/C forum but thought it was funny. Substitue motorcycle for any flavor of Camaro, and or Camaro owner....

I love motorcycles, and I love riding. Like many of you, what first drew me to bikes was not just the experience of riding, but the feeling that I'd become part of a special community - a brotherhood, really. Nothing calms me more than a long ride down the interstate, waving to the members of my beloved clan. Except when I pass Harley guys. I hate Harley guys. Hate, hate, hate. When they pass me on the highway, you know what I do? I don't wave. With their little tassel handlebars and the studded luggage and the half helmets - God, they drive me crazy.
You know who else I hate? BMW guys. Oh, do I hate those guys. I don't wave at them either. They think they're so great, sitting all upright, with their 180 degree German engines. God, I hate them. They're almost as bad as those old bastards on their touring motorcycles. You know what I call those bikes? "Two wheeled couches!" Get it? Because they're so big. They drive around like they have all day. Appreciate the scenery somewhere else, Grandpa, and while you're at it, I'm not waving to you.
Ducati guys - I don't wave at them either. Why don't they spend a little more money on their bikes? "You can have it in any color as long as it is red." Aren't you cool! Like they even know what a Desmo-whatever engine is, anyway. Try finding the battery, you Italian-wannabe racers! I never, ever wave at those guys.
Suzuki guys aren't much better, which is why I never wave at them, either. They always have those stupid helmets sitting on the top of their stupid heads, and God forbid they should ever wear any safety gear. They make me so mad. Sometimes they'll speed by and look over at me, and you know what I do? I don't wave. I just keep going. Please, don't get me started on Kawasaki guys. Ninjas? What are you, twelve years old? Team Green my ass. I never wave at Kawasaki guys.
I ride a Honda, and I'll only wave at Honda guys, but even then I'll never wave at a guy in full leathers. Never, never, never. Yeah, like you're going to get your knee down on the New York Thruway. Nice crotch, by the way. Guys in full leathers will never get a wave from me. And by the way, neither will the guys in two piece leathers. And I'll tell you who else I'm not waving at - those guys with the helmets with loud paint jobs. Four pounds of paint on a two pound helmet - like I'm going to wave back at that! I'll also never wave at someone with a mirrored visor. Or helmet stickers. Or racing gloves. Or hiking boots.
To me, motorcycling is like a family, a close knit brotherhood of people who ride Hondas, wear jeans and a leather jacket (not Vanson) with regular gloves and a solid color helmet with a clear visor, no stickers, no racing gloves and regular boots (not Timberlands). And isn't that what really makes riding so special.

Here's what happened yesterday. I'm going down the road and I come up behind this guy in a Camaro stopped at a signal light a few cars back from the limit line. So I move over to the next lane so I can check out his ride. And of course he's checking out mine. And as I'm sitting there I think about all of these threads about Camaro owners being unfriendly with each other. So I roll down the window (I have really dark tint) and we nod to each other. The light turns green and we start to move. Well the cars in front of him didn't move and he slammed into the back of the car in front of him. Now I feel like an ass. I drive away thinking that if I'd kept my window up this guy's day wouldn't have been totally ruined. By the way, it ruined the rest of my day thinking about this guys car.

So maybe we should just keep, keeping to ourselves.

. Or maybe that guy should have just been more aware of his surroundings. You shouldn't feel bad, it's his own fault.

UnEasy Rider · 07-24-2013, 03:04 PM

Not your fault he wasn't paying attention. Here in TX we wave at everyone...even Prius's (small town)

SMason · 07-24-2013, 03:13 PM

I know it's his fault, I still feel bad for him.
