So he won't salute motor scooters? Big deal - we'll just point and yell "Hey, It's STEVE BUSCEMI!!!! HEY STEVE!!!

This makes me think that the only reason I get "the wave," or "salute," from the "real" bikers is because people around here don't know wtf a scooter is.

Somewhat related side note: I was browsing Craiglist this morning and saw a buttload of crappy China scoots (mostly 150s) for sale by their owners (not dealers) listed as MOPEDS :no:
I would really like to know where people in this area are buying these things though!? Internet specials? or is there really some place around here that's selling them and telling the customer that it is indeed a moped?! Sheesh. One even said "Well, NY registers it as a motorcycle, but I don't think it's a motorcycle, so I put Moped on the title." :wtf:
Now I know why a lot of these people don't get "the wave." :roll:

I also love the lists in the "Motorcycles/Scooters" section that are for HoverRounds and Rascals :rofl:

Several of us have done this trip, on motor scooters.

Way to act like a Wild Hog, Mr. Macy.

I'm not a big fan of waving and don't care who waves at me or doesn't but I couldn't help but laugh at Macy's machismo immediately preceding talk of the massage he got at his hotel and then trying to play the actor card to get a tire fixed before other customers.

You're so tough! :lol:

I am going to post "William H. Macy on a Harley' a few times itt in hopes that when the guy is googling himself searching for what the buzz is on himself he will come across a forum of users who ride something named a "Buddy" essentially calling him a tool :lol:
