Here in downstate New York 100% of motorcyclists – regardless of make – initiate or respond to a wave. I think because the season is so short and the four-wheeled traffic so blind motorcyclists here might take each other a little less for granted than some other places. I wave to anybody who...

I posted yesterday that I found the comfortable riding position and all my farkle plans – seat replacement, raised bar, lowered pegs – went right out the window.
