Default Got my first wave

Ten days after getting my C5 got my first wave today.

From a Victory Red C6 coupe.

Felt good!

CONGRATS! It feels like a family. Like if you ever owned a bike you get a wave from every other bike on the road.

Yep, ridden bikes for 45+ years, and am well used to those waves.

This must be the first "family" wave I've had in a car.

Felt a little more "personal".

It took about that long for mine, too. Although I had seen several other vets, it was always in a situation where you couldn't take your eyes off the road, period. Mine was from a gentlemen in a white C5 on a nearly empty stretch of I-95.
