Got a thumbs up! (This was Tuesday, not today.) On the way home from work, tooling along at 70 indicated in the right lane, a Triumph Rocket pulls up in the second lane, gives me a thumbs up and yells "nice bike!" Then he proceeds to prove that a Rocket is faster than a Bullet. (In fact, I've never seen a large motorcycle take off that quickly... looked like crotch rocket speed.)
Since the top case is gone (luggage rack was cracked on both sides) I've really been getting noticed by other motorcyclists. Slowing down to look; actually yelling "nice bike" (happened twice) or giving a thumbs up.
