Re: Saying "Hi" On The Road
[quote="San Rensho"]
Drivers in Miami are the biggest @ss-holes in the world and I can say this because I live in Miami. [/quote]
Yep! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this, I have just moved to Miami and have to pretty much agree. It's dog eat dog out there on the Dolphin expressway sometimes. I've been saved by quick reactions and having a good handling car on several occasions. It keeps you focused I can say that!
Customary greetings: If you follow the Harley or BMW rule then you'd have to take your hand off the steering wheel and stick your entire arm out of the window. In Europe they seem to wave at every motorcycle, not just other Harleys. That's fine if you are riding at the speed velocity of a farm tractor, but if you are coming the other way at speed on a sports bike and are fully focused on what you are doing then the arm waving thing becomes pretty annoying. Ducati riders tend to slightly raise their fingers off the left bar for a millisecond without actually moving their gaze off the entry point for the next corner. This is a recognized sign of mutual respect.
With sports cars I always thought the custom was to pull up beside them at the traffic lights, start revving your engine then look over and stare at other guy's hot girlfriend. I tried this with a 458 on South Beach the other day. Typical Ferrari driver pretended to ignore me then showed me his tail pipe... hummph how rude!
