Top ten reasons why some motorcycle riders dont wave:

[wordslinger]

...it's when they...START TO WAVE...then pull back that kills me th' most..

..i'm like..wtf!!....


 


..still i wave and smile inside....

 

[thebatman]

    i have had that..idk, i thought since i have the red runners, half helmet, loud ass pipe(lmao). they start to wave but REALIZE your on a scooter, and they are like oh sh**.....      

[wordslinger]

..it's so funny..lol...

It is funny isn't it. Here is my experiance. Ride my Victory-some Harley riders wave, when I had my Gold Wing- other wingers and most all touring types waved, when I rode my DRZ-no body waved, when I rode my military sidecar rig-everybody waved. when I ride one of my scooters- a few touring,sportbike, and a few crusiers wave. Some times when I wave at a harley rider, and they don't wave back -I give them the bird!-that really suprises them. I don't do this in the presence of other traffic-as I don't want other car drivers to get the Idea that scooter riders are a bad influence.

I have found that all tourers wave, wether I be on my metric cruiser, GS500, Kawasaki EX250 or even ZX50. I have tried waving at Harley riders when on my scooter here, but there is just too much image involved, though I must stress that is not always the case, just mostly.

...i ...still!!! flash them all a peace...

..even the ones i meet every day, that i KNOW aint gonna acknowledge my existence...

Actually I'm starting to appreciate the "no wave". It takes the pressure off of asking should I or shouldn't I. I just don't bother anymore.

[wordslinger]

...lmao..yup, i kinda agree ABob...

Ok, ol'timer flashback:  Just 30 yrs ago, there was no waving amongst motorcycle riders.  That is, except when one was riding to and from Daytona speed week or another big ralley.  I guess somehow over the years it caught on full time.  I wouldn't be sad to see it go away, but it does seem to solidify the idea that we're all cousins/brothers/sisters and I do like that.

  Ha! I usually have to many other idiots to worry about when riding. It's all about the head nod     

[Hoolander2]

Ha!     Yeah, don't always like taking hand off grip.  How 'bout we all just wheelie when meeting another two wheeler?  Well, hmm, guess we have those who'd do both. . . 

I like to randomly zig-zag back and forth in my lane sometimes. . . get's car drivers attention.

  Ha! I did have a street racer pass me the other day at about 90mph riding a wheely and standing on the rear tail light assembly (He did not wave though) Probably scratching his head wondering how I was running 60+
