I often get the same one finger wave from kids on crotch rockets. I usually just slow down and turn around in the same direction..

at this point they prove that "you run faster scared...than mad"...lol

I wave to everyone also. Heck I've waved to kids on scooters. Most wave back, some don't. I must admit no one's ever given me the finger though.

I couldn't care less if anyone wants to give me the one finger wave. It never has bothered me.

I have never had anyone give it to me when riding a harley, but I had lots of harley riders give one to me when I was riding a metric bike. Never a rocket, and not in recent years, but back in the 80's I got that from several harley riders. It dind't bother me then and it wouldn't bother me now. I just laugh at it.

In my experience there are always a few azzholes in every crowd, even ours.

Those guys were just immature...let it be and move on.

Back in the day this would have resulted in a rumble to help them celebrate that middle finger --ask me how I know.

Peace,

^This is about right. Just look at how many write "Got my first Harley" posts.

You shoulda just rolled that wave into a one finger salute. I do, even if they already gone by just in case they looked in their rearview.
