When you started riding did you seek out a wave master and perhaps copy theirs, or did you develop one of your own? Have you ever wondered if your wave is appropriate? Unfortunately, wave training is not covered in the basic or advanced motorcycle safety classes.

Well, here I present the five basic motorcycle waves. Your worries about not knowing proper biker etiquette are over.
Left-handed Straight Out Arm fully or partially extended higher or lower than shoulder.
Left-Handed High Elbow should be bent with slight forward angling of the forearm.
Right-Handed Typically employed by Ultra Classic and Goldwing riders.
Left-Handed Forward Almost imperceptible due to the speed of the wave and the bike.
To wave or not to wave, that is the question. We’ve all faced that moment when we felt obligated to wave but then become unsure. The worrying starts and then there’s that overwhelming feeling of guilt. Well, worry no more. Here are some general waving rules to help guide you:
If it’s the proper place and time and you receive no reciprocal wave, don’t get your panties in a bunch and think you’ve just passed a jackass, because there are some acceptable reasons. These reasons are as follows:

To wave or not to wave, that is the question. We’ve all faced that moment when we felt obligated to wave but then become unsure. The worrying starts and then there’s that overwhelming feeling of guilt. Well, worry no more. Here are some general waving rules to help guide you:
- On the interstate; unnecessary
- On a curve; unnecessary
- In the rain or at night; unnecessary
- On a mellow two-lane; proper
- On a highway with little traffic; proper
- At a rally, unnecessary
- In traffic, unnecessary.
If it’s the proper place and time and you receive no reciprocal wave, don’t get your panties in a bunch and think you’ve just passed a jackass, because there are some acceptable reasons. These reasons are as follows:
- You weren’t seen
- Clutch manipulation
- A head nod was substituted
