It must have been a combination of bright sunshine and heat.  Riders of 2 BMWs gave me a wave when I was stopped at lights.

Nah - they tend to push past at the first sign of a 2" overtake gap

 

(usual "not all Beemer" riders caveat)

Occasionally Harley riders don't wave, but I think I've never experienced this behaviour from beemers where I live.

Thats related to their reluctance to let go of the bars when near a corner  :hide:

Yeah, know what you mean. Tried a Harley last weekend. Strange feeling of being out of control.....not to mention brakes  :rotflmmfao:

Well, I wouldn't call them "brakes", but there was some right hand lever where the brake lever sits on other bikes.

 

Maybe like the Controls of bikes like this ? [Image: S5300441.JPG]
