We just got back from a great 3 day long weekend south of the border. (will post pictures from the trip later).
The one thing that is sticking in my memory from this past weekend is the unbelievable friendly nature of any and all bikers we ran into. (not to mention pretty much everyone we came into contact with was very accomodating and friendly)

I would have to say that 95% of all riders we passed on our trip waved. At least 60% of those were riding Harleys. We had conversations with a lot of folks on Harleys, some came up and just started chatting for no reason.

Why am I even mentioning this. Well for one, sometimes you guys (Americans) get a bad rap. I just want to say Thank You for the level of hospitality shown by all we met.
Secondly, up here in BC we have more than our share of Wannabe Bikers. I would reckon that maybe 1 in 10 guys on a Harley returns a wave around here.
My gal and I were both surprised at the biker comrodarie shown while we were in Wenatchee and the surrounding areas.

Can't wait to get down there again for the next ride.
