Hopefully this thread won't end up so controversial as the last.

As more bikes fill the roads, I'm noticing a smaller and smaller percentage of cruisers will wave back to me. A lot of you have talked about how they don't like us crazy, irresponsible sport bikers. So I had this thought: If I dropped a hand out my window while driving my car, would the think I'm one of them, just ignore me, or what? Has anyone ever waved at a biker from a car? What did they do?

 

Cruiser guys have to look straight ahead and keep both hands on the bars, or else the bucket-of-bolts couch they're riding will come apart ...

 

Not so fast on that one spriritRR, it totally depends on the person (ps dont tell but there is a mod around here that drives a HD!!!) However personally if I get waved at either by a bike, car, suv or atv if I can wave back I will. Just curtsy. <-- (spell check corrected me on that one. still doesnt look right) *shrugs shoulders*

 

believe you're looking for: courtesy.

never tried it from a car.

 

I find myself wanting to wave from my cage sometimes, and then I feel silly... so I don't. lol

 

I find that when I wave from a car... which I seem to do without even thinking... sportbike riders typically wave back but cruisers dont... not saying all dont but typically thats how it goes for me...

 

Everybody around here waves back even the Bergman guys

 

the funny thing is , you wave to be courteous and show your love for the sport, who cares if some a$$ clown on a bike dont wave. your either a waver or your not, but dont let it **** ya off if ya dont get a wave back. i wave or nod and move on my way. besides half of the peeps out there shouldnt take their eyes off the road or take a hand off the bars...peece

 

the best wave is to the kids, kids love to see bikes, i always entertain the yoots...
