only about 10% of Goldwings will wave back so I have given up on them.
Look at the dash and handlebar controls on these things. They don’t wave because they’re too busy trying to figure out all of those buttons.

In North / South Carolina and Tennesse, it seems everyone waves. I generally have more Sportbikers wave back than any other group. I'll wave at everyone, Mopeds included. Like in the earlier poster, if your on 2 wheels, I'll wave......

But what is the proper method of waving while passing another biker going in the same direction?

A nod as you go by? Left hand in the air once you have already passed? A quick wave with the right while along side them making sure to return to the throttle quickly?(of course I don't have that problem with cruise control).

These are the problems that perplex me.

I'm with those who wave at anyone on two wheels with a motor. Yeah, when shifting or in a tricky turn I pass on the wave too. But screwball I like the 2 x 4 concept. But always carrying it around would be a female dog (it won't let me post Bit$%)

funny stuff here. : ) i like this forum! And i appreciate that no one flamed him for asking this question which I'm sure has been discussed to death.

here in Illinois, almost everyone on a Harley waves, or nods if you're busy shifting or braking.

I've heard some say that if it's not a Harley, they wave with their hand above the bars, and that they reserve the below the bar wave for other Harleys only. Personally, I give everybody a below the bar wave. I don't care what anyone rides, and half the time i can't tell what the hell they're riding anyway!

ok Waving is a cool thing to do... That being said, when is it not cool to wave? i mean when at a ralley how far from the ralley do you stop waving. how many bikes do you have to pass before you stop waving? Just wondering what the rule of " The Salute" is.... In SC we wave at any thing or anybody

Here in NY I wave to anyone on a bike with a 2 finger below the bar wave...and 95% of the time I get the same wave back from everyone, regardless of the bike they ar riding.

I waved to a guy yesterday that was on some sort of jap bike, guy was wearing a plaid shirt. I thought the guy was going to go off the road, think I scared the poor soul. I notice here in NW Pa that alot of times on the weekends, that alot of people won't wave back, I say there's alot of RUB's out and they're too good to wave back. Oh well, *uck 'em!
