the wave. nklr (smle)

Waving sometimes seems a bit like preaching to the choir! So I've adopted a slightly different philosophy : I ALWAYS wave to young kids, I ALWAYS wave to old folks, and I usually wave or at least nod to just about any dog walker, jogger, stroller, etc. With motorcyclists: a nod to all and a wave to fellow riders when its below 35 degrees cause I know we're kindred spirits !! I have to admit that I also wave to a lot of Harley riders to see if I get a wave back! (I generally do). With my pedestrian waving I'm trying to be a goodwill ambassador for motorcyclists, and offset the loud pipe crowd whom are driving me and a lot of other folks completely nuts ! Ride safe.

Here in the Green Mountains of Vermont, pretty much everybody with a VT plate waves at each other. Cages, motorcycles, doesn't matter. I wave to all vehicles sporting an in-state plate because it takes a special kind of gumption to live in this state year-round. I also wave to all motorcyclists, but drop four fingers down if I don't get a return... da Vermonster

You need to use four fingers to pull the lever to launch the rear facing heat seeking missiles? Maybe the cable needs lubrication? What kind of oil do you use? Walt

As my parents are from Vermont, Stowe, I spent a ton of time in fact every summer there. We had some land near Lake Elmore and built a nice A frame cabin. Spent some great family time with my son, myself and my dad climbing the mountain in Elmore. Funny as my dad could remember hunting in some area's as a kid! We reached the summit and my dad and son ran to the top of the fire lookout tower, I started upward and about the 5th floor puked and slowly went down. BTW, if you are up there and take a left directly across from the Elmore store, drive up a bit and you will see Douglas Road, named after my dad who owned about 300 acres in that area. 20 years later I was in Boston on business and rented a car to drive up to Stowe and while driving along on the freeway, very little traffic I noticed a car right next to me and a hand movement, me coming from LA at the time though WTF is this guy going to shoot me but quickly realized it was a wave! Someday I will get back up there in the fall as I always wanted to take photos. You are lucky to live in what I believe to be one of the most beautiful states!
