Default The wave

When on my bike, I wave @ all other bikes, no mater what brand. The Hardly riders mostly don't wave back. Well, maybe 50% don't. Sometimes I wave @ bikes in the cage too. You know, you can tell a bike rider in a cage is behind you @ a stop because they usually give you at least 10 feet.

Yeah, I've seen some Harley riders wave back. I guess it depends on their mood...? I know sometimes I don't wave because, honestly, I'm too worried about the idiot in the cage about to make that left turn in front of me, or something similar, so I don't see the other bike(s).

Has anyone noticed scooters never wave back? I think maybe they're too embarrassed...

I usually wave to all bikers. Most of the time they wave back, but some don't.

Older Harley folks wave back. The yuppies who bought Harleys for an image don't wave.

Scooter folks don't wave either. But I'm not sure if they count as motorcyclists.

Cops don't wave back unless you're a Blue Knight.

They do if you wave your middle finger , i say hello to all bikes as we are part of a select few who know what fast really means. Doesnt matter what your ride, and to everyone who ignores other bikes remember, its easy to be ignorant
