I haven't been riding for years... actually only a couple of months... so I still wave to everyone and I'm enjoying it.

I think these new guys just think they are just "Way Too Cool" to wave.

I think that's part of it for sure.

If my hands are preoccupied with controlling the bike, I wave with something else....

Default Questions About The Wave!!!!

Does any body know why bikers wave to each other?

And do you wave back when waved to or are you to cool?

Do you only wave back to HDs?

I think bikers wave at each other because it signifies a common interest. An interest that is different than the majority on the road. I wave back at other bikers but does anybody else notice that the majority of the waves comes at either the beginning of the riding season, at the end of the riding season, or during bad rain storms? When I ride my GSXR-1000, only sportbikers wave at me and girls roll their windows down at stop lights. When I ride my Harley, only other Harleys wave at me and guys roll their windows down to say "cool bike, what year?" I typically wave to both crowds but I do not wave to a vespa rider though.
