Theory on waving - Regional thing?

RE: Theory on waving - Regional thing?
I am in the middle of a 7-10k roadtrip.
 \\;
my riding buddy and I have come to a kind of comedic twist on the wave.
It gets pretty rediculous waving 300 times a day for 15 days straight, so we have got the various "kewl-guy" waves going.
My buddy made up a really big bowling ball throw style of wave, and I have been going with a rediculously over-exuberant \\;almost falling off of the bike wave.
 \\;
I hate to be rude to someone being cordial, but it gets pretty rediculous on a long ride - so if it is going to be rediculous we may as well be entertained.
If I saw a bike every hour or two, it would be a realistic proposition, but it is kind of silly to wave at every schmoe going down the road. I have my stereo to be ****ing with, a beer \\;in my cupholder, phone calls to make \\;- cetra, cetra. No time to wave - it would be unsafe!

In NJ we wave to all MC riders. \\;\\\\\\;Even \\;\\\\\\;Scooters.  \\;\\\\\\;In fact on Sunday it becomes a PITA as I find my left hand off the bar more then on it because we pass so many bikes.
 \\;
Also, when passing a group of other riders I find everyone waves from the first bike to the last bike, even if there are 20 of them. \\; The wave here is usually one finger pointing down.

I used to only wave to other HD’s. \\; Lately I’ve become a quite a waver. \\; I wave to most folks on motorcycles, even the CR’s. \\; Scooters don’t rate though, gotta draw the line somewhere.  \\;I have to wave at the kids in the back of cars that are waving at me.  \\;I wave to other old cars when I’m in my old car. \\; You have to wave to people from the boat too, I think it’s a rule. \\; I do lots of parade waving from the convertible in parades.
Two weeks ago I rode up Palomar Mountain. \\; There’s lots of CR’s since it’s a fun twisty ride especially if you’re a knee dragger. \\; We all wave to each other. \\; In fact I got the hand on top of the helmet signal when I waved to some CR’s. \\; I slowed way down and sure enough I was smiling on my way through the California Highway Patrol’s speed trap. \\; Smiling since I avoided a ticket I would certainly have received if I hadn’t been warned. \\; After passing the speed trap I was giving all the motorcycles (not cars) the hand on top of the helmet signal. \\; Plenty of waving out here in San Diego.
