Waving
By Doc


Waving? Some who ride motorcycles seem obsessed with it.

Mmmm, waving! What the hell; I’ll admit it. I don’t wave to every dodge Dakota that I see. Especially if it ain’t green. I mean, I feel pretty insignificant anyway ‘cause I don’t have a gun rack ya know? I got a roll of cyclone fence in the bed but that only draws attention to the fact that I don’t have a light bar. And that’s a real sore spot with me. Of course, I tried to make up for that by putting that decal of the little dude pissin’ on a Ford truck. But who am I to judge ya know? After all, I got a Dodge Dakota. It ain’t watcha call a “real truck” anyway.

I got me a red baseball cap the other day that says “Red Man”. Stands out good against my green truck too. But I only wear it when I drive the truck; I don’t want anyone offering me a chew. I mean, it’s tough bein’ a wannabe redneck ya know?!! Christ!!! I had to have some decent road tires ‘cause I drive a long distance to work so I can’t raise the suspension ya know? But I did get cool rims and other guys with cool rims wave at me pretty regularly. That’s a plus.

Sometimes I take a drive out into the country ‘cause I know farmers wave at everybody. One day I stopped at this grain elevator and walked around my truck 'cause I thought there was something wrong. Well, this farmer asked if there was anything wrong and I told him I didn’t know but I stopped because this guy on a tractor a ways back gave me this funny look and didn’t wave. And wouldn’t ya know; this farmer reminds me that I didn’t have a reese hitch. Man, ya can’t forget one of those when ya get a truck!!!! That’s for sure!!! I’m savin’ now for one of those chrome propeller inserts.

But ya know what? I’m thinkin’ about getting’ rid of the truck and buyin me a Cadillac. Ya don’t have to do anything to a Cadillac to get people to wave.
