Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back
1 - They're afraid it will invalidate their factory warranty.
2 - Leather and studs make it too hard to raise their arm.
3 - They refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.
4 - They won't let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
5 - The rushing wind could blow the scabs off their new tattoos.
6 - They're angry over the second mortgage needed to pay for the new Harley.
7 - They just discovered the fine print in their owner's manual revealing that The Motor Company is partially owned by rice-burner manufacturers.
8 - They can't tell if other riders are actually waving or just reaching up to cover their ears, like everyone else.
9 - If they wave back, they risk being impaled on their spiked helmet.
10 - They're upset that after spending $30,000, they still don't own a bike that's as comfortable as a Goldwing.
To be totally fair, let it be noted that sometimes Goldwing riders don't wave back, either. Again, to facilitate a better understanding....

1 - They aren't sure whether the other rider is waving or making an obscene gesture.
2 - They risk getting frostbite if they take their hand off the heated grip.
3 - They have arthritis and it is difficult to raise their arm.
4 - The reflection from the etched windshield was momentarily blinding.
5 - The on-board espresso machine had just finished.
6 - They were asleep when other rider waved.
7 - They were involved in a three-way conference call with their stock broker and accessories dealer.
8 - They were distracted by an oddly shaped blip on their radar screen.
9 - They were simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system.
10 - They couldn't find the "auto wave-back" button on their dashboard.
