Took a few more pages but heres another one.

 

This should've stopped all the waving threads.

 

New riders wonder what's up with the wave.

 

Thread with best explanation for wave.

 

Another good post about why we wave, maybe second best but I'm not sure because I just couldn't read the whole thing.

 

it started with the medieval knight that wore the same arms coat used to wave to one another. I only wave if I know the person, and yes 1% er do wave if they know you. I believe the three finger wave was used when waving to 3 wheelers and trikes.

 

Yes even my wife thinks its annoying.

 

only the head of the pack should wave

 

I feel pretty compelled to wave also, simply from having done it for so long. But now there are times when I don't, like the controls thing and some times don't on a divided highway.

Here in Colorado its pretty universal, I think, but on my trip to SD this year I noticed going through the Black Hills more didn't than did, even when I did. I think it gets tiresome up there for some people.

 

I wave at everybody --- pedestrians, cars, other bikes --- everybody.
