Title: Who do you wave to?
Post by: F14CRAZY on June 01, 2014, 08:21:56 PM
Open ended question...

Harley riders? Rice rockets? Can Am Spyders? Trikes?

Where do you draw the line?

I find myself waving to everybody when I'm in a good mood and I can afford to take my hand off the clutch.

I hardly ever wave in a metro area.

Usually don't wave at H-D riders...  don't want them to drop their tools.....

I wave at pretty much everything on two wheels. Scooters usually don't get it, and bicycles get confused :hehehe

During bike week here you get used to  riding one handed.

I hate watching to see if someone's going to initiate a wave that I'd then need to return, so generally I just wave first and get it over with.

I wave to just about everyone, if I can.  Usually I am too busy concentrating on riding.

Near events where there are motorcycles everywhere, I usually stop waving.  Its just too many.  I would need to get a mannequin arm attached to my bike in a perpetual wave.

Everyone, find myself when in a cage waving and realizing they didn't wave back because I'm just a smiling goofball momentarily trapped in a cage...

Favorite wave moment; Riding our horses on the neighborhood loop which has us on a big grassy shoulder for the last 1/2 mile home, 2 bikes coming towards me that cautiously slowed as I did the big (would have eaten a peg at that angle) side lean peace sign wave that made the second guy laugh so hard he had to stop and look back....

We don't seem to do waving here, maybe it's the state of the roads.....

What we get is 'nodding'. Then there's the whole nodding hierarchy, should you nod at scooters? Should you nod at learners (not sure if it's normal, there's a whole seperate test for bikes, and learners have a big red L on a plate to show they are learning)? Should you nod at the waving harley rider?

Who knows?

Ditto here!  All motorcized cycles with the exception of mopeds and scooters get my coordinated muscular movement of a wave...whether sending a peace sign or a flat open hand.

I wave to all riders except for the real small scooters...usually the riders of the tiny scoots don' t understand the custom so I just don't do it.... 
I don't discriminate about which kind of bike to wave to....if they wave back, fine, and most do.....If on a highway with a divider strip or when busy with shifting, I don't wave.....I also do the head nod at times if in a situation where a wave would not be safe...

It's kind of a fun thing..

I generally wave or nod to anyone who waves or nods to me!

Sometimes I get caught out tho, once waved to a scooter dude and felt like a real weirdo for some reason

Another time a MotoCop (They all ride BMW's here) waved at ME! I didn't know what to do!

Anything with a helmet and an engine that takes up it's own lane. In Delaware that means lots of motos don't get waves (no helmet law). Like the no helmet crowd really gives a s**t whether I wave at them or not...
