My opinion is that the commercials that show the Harley guy nodding his head in approval as he scopes out the Can-Am parked at the biker bar, and the other bikers flashing the super-secret-bikers-are-cool gang sign at the Can-Am riders as they pass on the road are complete and utter BS.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to paint flames or racing stripes on your Hover-Round?

Are you serious?

I have not seen those commercials.

I do ‘2 finger’ them when I pass them but I do it to *every* bike I pass, out of courtesy.

[no Harley rider *I* know is secretly lusting in his/her heart for one, though]

What we ‘flash’ at each other is more of a ‘good luck’ symbol.

Two fingers flashed low means “keep both wheels down”.

It’s got nothing to do with “cool”.

Somebody once remarked that they always saw bikers doing that and figured we all knew each other, personally.

I just said “Yeah. Every biker on earth knows every other biker.”.

Well, in fairness, I have caught a lot of bikers (including myself) staring at people riding Can-Ams.

But it’s not so much “nodding in approval” as it is pure wonderment at how totally geeky they look.

I always look twice to see if there isn’t a mower deck attached to the bottom.

I ride a Harley, and I put two fingers down when I pass a trike. Your think that it’s BS, is BS.
