Have you ever wondered why Pan European riders wave even less than BMW riders?

• Wasn't sure whether other rider was waving or making an obscene gesture.
• Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip.
• Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm.
• Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him.
• The espresso machine just finished.
• Was actually asleep when other rider waved.
• Was in a three-way conference call with stock broker and accessories dealer.
• Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen.
• Was simultaneously adjusting the suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system.
• Couldn't find the "auto wave back" button on the dashboard.
