Even on this rather wimpy looking thing, motorcycle riders would wave to me when we passed. I imagine that this started when there were far fewer motorcyclists on the road than there are now and seeing a kindred soul was something of a treat. It seems that this custom is slowly dying out, around here anyway. -- Ken Reek, Rochester Institute of Technology {allegra,seismo}!rochester!ritcv!kar
