This all seems odd to me. I was in Sturgis a few years back on my XB and got nothing but compliments.

Seems odd to me too. Nothin but compliments here. Harley riders have always been very nice to me. Actually Ive never had a run in with any group that wasnt especially nice to me. Guess things like this is where the phrase "Minnesota Nice" comes from.

Never been flipped off. If it ever happens will take a cue for here & blow them a kiss.
BUT
Spent today riding Slab - thru Small Villages - Country roads - thru a Small City - Suburban Roads - Boonie Twisties - to The Mall
AND
Wherever I was going all the HD guys were riding away from there
I think we may have a collective hygiene issue - Let's freshen up guys.

Cry a little? I mean really. Give em the bird back if it really bothers you.

Worst thing I have ever had happen was have someone on a scooter try to wave at me. I responded with a shrug.

If they're on two wheels I generally throw a wave. Lack of response (or a bird, which I don't recall every having received) results in in-helmet verbal abuse which makes me laugh and feel better.

I've been called a "ricer" and "rice rocket" by some Harley friends (well, mostly friends dads) but it wasn't serious. I guess the sound confuses the hell outta them if they don't know Buells, but they really should if they've ever stepped foot into a HD dealer! Most people, Harley or otherwise do the "left hand pointing down" type wave.

Me 'n D have two fave waves when we're feeling silly; one is the Wave Wave, left hand up high and facing forward, "sailing" up and down emulating an ocean wave, the second is the Lt. Dan Wave - think Forrest Gump in his shrimp boat waving at Lt. Dan on the dock.

For maximum effect, both waves are best done by rider and passenger in unison. Takes a few times to get it synced just right, so we like to practice on oncoming Harleys.

One time unannounced we did the Lt. Dan on the Parkway when Carlos/M2nc was following us; he about ran off the road from laughing so hard. : D
