I haven’t read the entire thread. But I’d say 80% of all Harley riders give the low wave. And probably 75% of all others wave. Maybe it’s a San Diego thing.

Im starting to go out of my way to wave at motor Leo’s...Im at about 50% on that. Higher when I have my PGR flags and vest.

The only hand stuff that matters is a head tap or universal "keep it low" if cops ahead... I always give the heads up on that to riders who could use the heads up. Other then that Ill wave if the other guy does 1st. Whether on my Jeep, HDs or Yamaha. Otherwise could care less.

Actually the mirrors on the JK show whats really going on inside....

I wave when close to home because it may be someone I know.

Sorry bud...I’m a RUB as well. Money doesn’t matter as much to me as it does to you. Sorry you’re poor though. If you give me your PayPal account maybe I can send you some gas money.

I'm poor too, all I could afford is a damn Sportster. I could use some gas money too.

I rode to Biketoberfest and back on Sunday. If I didn't give you the low wave I was tired of doing it
