Default waving to 3 wheelers?

I know everyone is PC now, so everyone waves to everyone. being from NY I don't wave too often due to the condition of the roads and i'm on a sportster which doesn't take bumps and potholes too well. I don't feel like going down because I waved back to someone. that being said, I usually ride now with 2 hands to stay safe. for some reason, even if i'm on my road king relaxing, I just cant bring myself to wave to these new 3 wheelers...i'll wave to harley trikes of course, but I don't consider these things bikes, more like juiced up golf carts....maybe i'm just an old school Harley snob. i'm sure i'll be called a few names but that's ok, I was just wondering if anyone else feels the same.

I wave to everyone to acknowledge that they are out enjoying his or her ride, just like me.

I wave to everybody, it makes them feel good. And I'm just a kind, caring, considerate sole in that regard.


Then if they don't wave back real quick, I flip them the highest reachable finger and yell at the top of my lungs ... FUG OFF A-HOLE!!!

It's a lot of ****ing work waving to everybody on the road. Generally I'll return the wave, but damn sometimes I'm not paying attention.

Nope! Don't feel the same. I even wave at motor scooters and bicyclers.

I am an equal opportunity waver.

I do agree that certain riding conditions merit both hands on the grips.

I wave to everyone. Harley riders, metric bikes, trikes, Can-Am Spyders, people on their front porch, a cager who didn't pull out in front of me on a side street, even a cop. However, I don't wave at scooters. Sometimes, a moped, but NEVER scooters. Ya gotta draw the line, somewhere.

There is no amount of not waving I will do. Hell, is that a double negative! I wave at even bicycles. And I utterly hate bicyclers.

Yeah, I wave to three wheelers. Today I waved to a guy on a scooter. Most every body waves back except guys on a Goldwing and a few sport bike guys.

I should elaborate. Yes, I indeed wave at three wheelers especially. Around these parts, most three wheelers are old timers. They weren't trikers first, they were old bikers first. For some reason or another, back ache, knee joints, whatever, they graduated to three wheels. Hell, they could have got a topless corvette, but you can't gas that up between your legs. I never let these guys go by without a wave.
