So i was wondering about this lol how do YOU do the "biker wave"

I was riding yesterday and noticed most of the bikes i went by did the usual hand pointed down at the side. I also noticed when i was near guys on harleys that they just gave me a head bob. Quite amusing to see the difference..

so when you encounter another biker on the road what do you do?

 

Harley owner, and i use my hand down low to wave.

 

Live on an island, so its good to wave, other wise if I feel like it.

 

I ride a Road King in Melbourne Australia and most riders just nod

 

I do the hand down wave unless I'm pulling away from a light and going to shift then they get the nod lol

 

Yup that here too.

 

Depends out by me if your in the country or on a road with no traffic we wave if your in a busy section we knod you never know when you will need to pull that clutch in with the idiots out there.

 

This is from the rule book.....

Types of waves...

To a Goldwing rider...Hand straight up.
To a Crotch rocket rider... 2 finger peace sign side to side wave.
To a Can Am rider... Full Hand, straight out to the side arm fully extended...At least 1/8 of a mile before they get to you.
To a Regular trike rider... High with 3 fingers
To a Metric cruiser.. Wave hard
To a BMW rider...Don't bother, they barely never wave. (still ok to try but don't get pissed of if they don't reciprocate)
To a HD rider...Just a short wave down low, in the middle or up high...just don't over do it so not to look too much like a real poser...

This was in the poser book of waving.

 

its more of a sign of acknowledgement than a wave. save the waving for the Queen. waving is gay

 

Ditto.
