I finally figured it out.

I give all the cruisers the finger, now they wave back.

I wave at any bike i see, be it the latest race rep, low rider or learner legal. I also wave at mopeds and people on L plates as i remember people waving at me many years ago when i was on L's and it use to make me smile
