Meh, no harm in giving them the wave. So long as it's 2 wheels I don't really discriminate. Those guys who ride those 4-wheeled do-hickies, though... Now THOSE guys really rattle my cage.

I once had a guy who gave me the "biker salute" while crossing the street in front of me and giving me this hardcore stare the whole time, well, he did that dropping two fingers to the side thing if that's what you're referring to.

They make good sense for city/burb riding, its nothing new, lots of them in 60's & 70's but it ended up being cheaper at the time to buy a Jap step through. Now there is a sh*t load of scooters coming from Korea, China & Japan as well as Italy.
Always thought that the design of Vespa's & Lambretta's where pretty cool & stylish & some of the afore mentioned countries are making pretty good copies, (but they just don't seem to be able to get the colours right) The Italian ones certainly are a fashion statement by some of the riders out there.
I don't mind them, good on em for choosing two wheels.
For those who don't like them, you can always get a few of the lads together & go down & throw the buggers off a pier.

Maybe he was a rider, off his bike?
