I wave to them... but they dont wave back makes me wonder if they can see me through there mirrored face sheild!!! :biker:

 

You know, I'm getting really tired of the whole wave thing. When I'm in a car, I don't wave to other cars. When I'm in a pickup, I don't wave at other pickups.

I happen to have a Corvette. Other Corvette drivers wave at me. Sometimes I see it and wave back. Sometimes I miss it. No big deal.

Now on bikes, it's even more confusing. Some Harley riders wave, some don't. Some sport bike riders wave, some don't. Some give a big arm wave. some just lift their fingers off the bar. I'm too busy paying attention to riding to try and figure out everyone's wave style.

I don't initiate a wave, but I'm not too stuck up or "cool" that I don't return one when I see it. Can't we just admire each other's rides without all the wave crap? I'm not so insecure that I need someone to wave at me so that I feel like I have another friend in the world. But I don't want to be an AH for not returning one. Let's just stop waving and ride. It's a hell of a lot easier and safer.

Instead of waving, lets just buy each other a beer when we stop for a cold one.

Let's stop the confusion.

I owned a jeep and all jeeps wave. I owned a corvette and all corvettes wave. I bicycle and all bicycles wave. I have a motorcycle and all motorcycles wave.

I just live my life with my hand out now.

. . . I just live my life with my hand out now.

You must have been pretty excited about Obama.

 

Several years ago had a summer gig in central Missouri and back then at least every one waved, I had this light on a 18 inch flex-rod that plugged into cigarette lighter aux plug.

I just made it stick straight up and put a glove on it, made it easy on me cause sometimes I didn't pay attention to folks waving" at me!

 

I wave to all when possible. On a Sunday. I can pass a hundred bikes. After a while it gets a little old to wave. To every bike I see.

 

I spent two hours standing in front of a mirror practicing my wave, i think i got it right so everyone can be happy, ill have to try it out soon.eadHorse:

 

Only 2 hours? Your obviously not nearly dedicated enough to this topic.

I've put full length mirrors all around the house and yard. Every time I pass one I wave to myself. Luckily they always return the wave or I would feel pretty chitty about myself.

This has been going on for weeks. My wife thinks I'm a little crazy, but I don't think she appreciates the seriousness of the wave. I've tried to explain that if another rider doesn't wave back to me, that rider must know me personally, or at least have heard about me indirectly, and doesn't like me for some reason. That hurts my feelings.

:rolleyes

 

48 and drizzling, 120 miles, i still waved at every 2 wheeler i passed. Lol

we don't like you, get over it:bigbarf

 

Yeah, it is nuts here. It can be a 8 lane highway and someone a quarter mile a way on an overpass will wave. There really should be a distance requirement to even attempt wave initiation.

I do wave if passing another bike because in my mind it is letting the cars know that we kinda stick together. If I am going through an intersection and need both hands, oh well. If I wave and somone doesn't wave back I simply pull over so I can sob uncontrollably in a safe environment.

I don't wave to scooters because many of those ass bags are only on the scooter because they can't get a licenses from serveral DUIs. Screw them.

I don't initate the wave to sport bikes normally. If I have a buddy that has one, I will ride with him but normally between the gearing and riding style it doesn't flow well. Sometime I wave to cars with my middle finger because they threw a cigarette at me or are too distracted to honor my personal right to not eat guardrail.

Sometimes when passing a large group of patched rough looking dudes, I do the miss America wave. I think I need to seek help for that though but the wtf looks are too priceless.

boowahhh ha h that's F'ing funny.

 

Only time I don't wave to another biker is when I got my hand on the clutch or I'm trying to avoid that big cement wall separating the lanes.

 

I had more Harley riders wave to me when I had a sportbike then I do now that I have a softtail.....but then again I only have 300 miles on my bike so far.

I once had someone tell me: Yea, I ride both it's a Honda.
My reply was: Hell, your on two wheel aren't you? Just enjoy it.

I wave to anyone on two wheels. Heck, here in Florida, I even wave back to people sitting outside on lawn chairs that wave to all passing vehicles.

 

I love this thread, lets keep it going for ever...

 

Wrong thread

 

I wave to all motor cyclists. I used to be a sport bike rider myself.

 

All sportbike riders "wave" to me, however some H-D riders will pretend they don't see me...

 

Actually had a pair of PA State Police motorcycle cops wave to me on my '97 FLHPi yesterday.

No , I didn't wave back.

 

I wave to motor cops all the time, they never seem to wave back. :dunno Must be the area.

 

I'll wave to anyone but its often not yet a full wave yet since I'm still getting my riding legs under me, especially at high speeds. Often times it's just a head nod or only two fingers off my grip.

Besides, with all this waving I'm surprised nobody had needed Tommy John surgery yet.

I wave at sportnbikes and cruisers. Those silly-looking Can-Ams, however... no.
