  • Another rider shook my hand at an intersection

    On my ride home today, I pulled up infront of some other sport bike, then hit a red light.

    He came up behind me and caught my attention, he was an older guy ( than me ) maybe in his 40s-50s and he said how awesome my bike was, and how its the grandfather of his bike hes on now.

    His was what looked like a 3 cylinder sport bike, but more of a relaxed sport bike...maybe dual sport...idk

    But he shook my hand and said he really appreciated the bike Im on.

    Then we agreed to let our bikes unwind some.

    So the light hit green and by the time I was across the intersection I was already at 60, and he was trailing behind me. I slowed at 75 and he came up along side, gave me a thumbs up, then we slowed down to the speed limit.

    It was a blast

      I once had a guy on a Harley ride up beside me while on my Maxim and gave me the thumbs up!

      Thought that was pretty cool.
