ORIGINAL: Buda

What's with other bikers waving at other bikers all day long. I just got my bike in January and every one that passes me in the opposite lane waves as they go by. There's a lot of bikes were I live and if I had to wave at every happy go lucky S.O.B on a bike my arm would fall off. Besides I am too busy actually riding my bike to take my hand off the handle bar. It's so bad they wave from the opposite free way. Hell I even had a guy on a scooter wave at me. I think I will just start giving people the bird until this nonsense stops. Who started this waving anyway.
you could always just wear this shirt NSFW (Not Safe For Work) http://www.foulmouthshirts.com/designs/Attitude/pages/imagepages/****%20You!%20I%20have%20enough%20friends%20T-shirt.htm

I don't waste time waving. I'm too busy text messaging or talking on my cell phone to be bothered.[sm=ummmmokay.gif]

I think its kinda cool, especially when the other rider is not on a HD manfactured product. You have to admit, (all) motorcycle riders are still a minority among cagers; its kinda nice to know someone can see you. The other day, a guy on an orange V-Rod waved, flipped a u-turn, and then jokingly dragraced me across an intersection by my house.... I was riding my son's minibike down to the gas station to fill it up! HaHa! (He won, in case anyone's wondering)

We wave to other bikers. I think it makes cagers realize that motorcyclists are happier than they are because we as bikers share the sense of freedom and enjoyment that we experience on a bike.

Hate to disagree, but I don't think 'cagers' could care less if people on motorcycles wave to each other or not.

Here's a little History and information about the "Biker Wave". This will help you to understand better why some do and some don't.

If waving is so damn annoying to you guys, when your broke down on the side of the road I won't wave when I ride by you.
