Cager waves?
While driving the cage, I am sometimes (subconsciously) trying to wave at bikers out of habit, not fully aware I'm in my cage. This sometimes leads my to jamming my hand into my door or window, forgetting I'm in a car.
Does anyone else wave at passing bikers when their in their cage? Do you ever get waves back?

RE: Cager waves?
I usually give the biker a wave on purpose if they are looking in my direction, especially in traffic.
my thought process is, if that guy see's me wave, directly at him, he knows, that I know, that he is there,
and in my little mind, he/she can go ahead and manage the traffic and not worry about me trying to occupy his space.
I will also often "assist" a biker in heavy traffic on the interstate, if its feasable, I will ride behind the biker, keeping a nice
buffer for him. if nothing else it eases my mind, if not his, that no one is going to rear-end him during the stop and go on the interstate.
I also will block a lane for a second or two if the bike wants over so that he can manuever freely without the chance of somone cutting him off.
the guy on the bike may or may not realize the subtle things I do, but it makes me feel better about myself.
