I wave at everyone,even people on scooters. you never know when you will need someone to stop and help you out. I ran out of gas one time and while I was waiting for help to come 50 bikes went by then a young guy in a cage stopped and asked if I needed any help,so if a wave helps let it happen. If a person doesn't wave back OWELL

That was pretty funny. I try to waive. but what gets me is when riders waive from across the median of a Divided 6 lane Freeway (Ie, going south bound and they are northbound).

Exactly!

Am I the only one who thinks that was funny as all hell?!?!


Lots of "motorcycle riders" around so I only wave when waved at, saves my arm from the crazy wave workout......

Glad to see this thread has gone so far, It's a good question. I never got a wave on my rice rocket, but always get one on the Harley. Go figure? HOLLYWOOD..........

When I got my first Harley I found out there were 2 kinds of people. Those who went out of their was to avoid the bike and those who went out of their way to check it out!

i haven't really worried about taking a hand off the bar to wave (the other day i tightened the screw (CC) and needed both hands to pull my phone out to see if i got a message that i was expecting) probably not the brightest idea. waving - i kinda let my arm drop off the bar and hold it there for a bit. ill wave to a scooter or what have you if they wave first. in contrast to HD chicks generally looking pretty manly...scooter dudes generally look pretty wo-manly - i don't want the wind to break their wrist
