CS Dept. Lines: 15 Keywords: touring,waving (hands) We just returned from a small motorcycle trip through New York State. And we met lots of waiving motorcyclists. But there are class loyalties. As we were zipping down the backroads on our 4 cylinder rice grinders, we occasionally encountered a clan-rider on a Harley. You know the frontal aspect: boots, knees, and two eyes peering out from under a German WW II helmet. Since we hadn't encountered much in the way of waiving from these fellows, we were surprised when an oncoming member lifted his left hand and initiated a greeting. Well, hands across the water, and that sort of thing, so we all waived back frantically, risking life and limb. But as the distance closed between us it became clear that the oncoming rider wasn't moving his hand back and forth the way we were. In fact, a solitary finger appeared to be the major feature of his salute. Heh heh. Oh well. cornell!prins
