1st off: You are both riding bikes, with the wind in your face, what is wrong with you? Are you a "Harley Snob" or something?

2nd off: "hand down thumb up sign" ain't the proper bike wave anyway. You don't know the proper bike wave, or what it is suppose to mean, do you?

Here, I’ll educate your “Harley Snob ****”: It is suppose to be “hand down and two fingers pointing down”. The “two fingers pointing down” represents “Keeping two wheels down” on the pavement. Hoping you don’t wreck. Have a nice day.

Cool Why not wave

Maybe I am missing something here or someone else is.

The "wave" is not under "trademark" for each make of M/C that I know of.

The "wave" is a gesture of "have a safe & great ride" as they pass.

Check the sites which actually mention Harley riders;

http://reversingthenumbness.blogspot...ycle-wave.html

http://ourlongwayaround.wordpress.co...ve-phenomenon/

http://www.vtxcafe.com/showthread.ph...highlight=wave

Have ridden all makes/models of M/Cs - scooters in 50 years of riding and always waved at anything motorized on 2 wheels (yes including mopeds).

I have never seen nor heard of a rule that a Harley rider can't return a friendly wave to someone on another make/model of M/C or any motorized scooter.

If you are not waving back at the scooters then maybe that is why some of those scooters I wave at don't wave back - some Harley rider probably thought it was below their "class of rider" to wave at them previously.

You never know but that scooter rider maybe around if you have the "unfortunate" happen to you and that rider is the only one that sees what happened or maybe he won't because of the "slighting" of his previous "wave" the week prior.

Karma comes in 2 "sizes" - good & bad - you decide what "size" you want.

Nuff said ! Off soapbox now !!

Two Wheels are Two Wheels IMO. Who cares how big the motor is or who makes it. At least they're not riding in cages.

+1. Wave at scooter riders all the time. I even spent some time talking "bikes" with some kid riding one of those 100 MPG something or others. I don't think I'm above them in any way.

I may have broken "The Harley Snob Secret Code" here. Please don't turn me in, I've been drinking.

Actually, you're the reason I don't wave that often.

I think you could be classified as a Harley snob, no doubt.

see how you still are feeling, if you had waved, it wouldn't be a useless issue like it is now.

I wave to anyone on two wheels when it's safe to do so. Doesn't matter what you ride, we're all brothers on 2 wheels and enjoy the wind in the face.
