I Heart Washington

Just a shout out to the motorCYCLE riders of Washington state. It is the ONLY state I have lived where, when I give a left handed low wave from my Buddy 50 I get a wave back 99% of the time. Something that barely happened in North Carolina and New York.

Looking forward to my 85 mile round trip today from Port Townsend to Silverdale. It is spring afterall.

Here is my route:

Living and riding around Seattle, I also get a good number of waves back from folks on motorcycles.

That looks like a pretty ride. I've been wanting to get out onto the peninsula and do some riding.

Around OKC about the only ones who don't wave back are some of the young d-bags on Harleys and, strangely enough, other people on scooters.

My experience too. Vespa people especially do not return the wave. But, many (not all) older Harley riders do return the wave or even initiate it! Must be a PNW thing.

Pretty true. In Tulsa, most people wave but the sport bikers normally ignore me. The Harley riders, for the most part, are pretty cool as long as they are not in large groups.
