Kinda gos back to the old commercial: "You meet the friendliest people on a Honda!"
I wave to virtually everyone, but then that's the way I roll. Not a badass bone in my body. (Until you f#*k with me!)

When safe to do so, I wave to everyone I can. This weekend my arm was busy ;-)

Default 3rd Arm

Can get out of control from time to time. Sometimes I'm just "zoned out", stopping / slowing down w/downshift, not looking, avoiding some idiot - well you get the idea. This time of year, when the weather breaks I probably could use a 3rd arm. NOW IF I COULD ONLY CONVINCE THE WIFE TO BE THE WAVEE! (SHE LIKES TO RIDE BUT DOESN'T WANT TO LET GO)

Well at least when the world comes to an end, so will the wave threads. Unless there is a Hell, in Hell you spend all your time reading wave threads, yeah, kinda like here.

I'm going to start manufacturing a left-side mirror in the shape of a hand. It will be mounted with a spring so that it "waves" and have LED's on the side facing traffic which will operate with the push of a button. Eventually, I hope to develop a version that has a micro transmitter/receiver so that it automatically flashes and waves when approaching another motorcycle so equipped. When I have sold them to a large market, Harley and other manufacturers will approach me to begin selling their versions, which are the same except the name stamped on them. (Harley costs twice as much.)

If for what ever reason I cant wave, Harley, Jap, British dont matter, a biker is a biker,then I will at least acknowledge the other rider with a nod. Just my way I guess.

Wave to all bikes, get waves back 99% of the time. Must be the area I live in. If I felt like I would lose control of my bike by letting go for a couple of seconds with one hand I would stop riding.

Yes you are correct:

Go out and shot the bike in the gas tank.

Go inside and wait for the bogie man to come and collect you.
