so i'm out for a late afternoon cruise on my '96 900ss/cr - gorgeous day with curves, farmlands and no traffic as usual. the duc is humming along and i'm noodling about between 60 and 80mph most of the time. a pleasure to be alive, and i'm happy as hell.
i see a beemer in the on-coming lane (hor cylinders, upright riding position, straight back, arms flat out to the grips). nearing, he gives me a short wave and i return the pleasant gesture with nothing less than a straight-armed Seig Heil salute. exaggerated, full-blown, straight arm at 45 degrees Hitler salute. right in his face.
i laughed like hell for 2 miles, then felt a little terrible. maybe i was dropped on my bean as a child, no idea really.
