Went for a group ride with a few people all riding normal bikes Seems everywhere we stopped someone would come over and ask who owns the BMW and then go on to ask a bunch of questions about the big scoot not sure it went down well with the others though

Harley riders are way more friendly then BMW riders to alternate brands. When I had my Silverwing, Harley riders would often come over to kibitz, more then once I have had groups of BMW riders literary turn their backs to me when I tried to kibitz.

I can guarantee I was never one of them.

The question I get asked most; "Is that a motorcycle or a scooter...?"
My response, "It's BMWs' version of a scooter, handles like sport bike with the practicality of a scooter."
I am in such a waving habit I have actually unintentionally waved at a bike when driving my car. Really. Guess that says where my mind is when on the road.
(Of course, haven't ever had anyone wave back yet when in the Buick.....Hmmmm, maybe I'll keep at it and see if I can get the two fingers low)
Yes riding along on trips the BMW bike owners are often the ones who will not do the wave. Of course the wave is not a requirement but when safe it's a mark of respect for fellow riders. Harley and other big cruiser type bikes will in most cases.
