The first wave

I got my first wave on Friday! From reading my new favorite forum Modern Vespa, I learned that there is a phenomenon in the two-wheeled vehicle world wherein passing riders wave hello at each other. There was some talk that Harley riders rarely wave at scooter riders. I guess we don't count.

So on Friday I was riding home at lunch time and while I was waiting at a light, a group of Harleys passed. No one waved. I guess I could have waved first to see if they would wave back, but I didn't. Anyway, as I continued on, I passed a guy on a scooter and he waved! I was so excited.

A few seconds later I heard him honking behind me and I stopped. He introduced himself, we compared scooters and he said we should go riding sometime. I said that would be great because I don't know anyone who rides. He told me the street he lives on and said to look for his scooter under the carport. Yesterday, I drove by and left a note with my phone number on the scooter. I was too chicken to knock on his door, and I'm not sure I would have known which one it was. I hope he calls. It would be fun to have a riding partner.
