I wave usually. But sometimes only if they do first.

There is this older woman about 4 houses down from me who rides a scooter. She has a milk crate tied to the back and every time she rides, she acts like it's her first time on two wheels...lol..
I passed her one day on my way home from work and I waved to her. Ever since then, every time she sees me she waves and honks her little scooter horn.
Hell, she'll even ride by the house and honk when I'm not even outside!
My wife gets way too big of a kick out of it and says chit like "There goes your girlfriend!" or "Here comes your scooter girl!"

I'm never gonna wave at a scooter again.

I HAVE two of these. Pulled them out of a garbage pile about 15 years ago; first motorcycles I ever rode. A red one and a black one. The red's pretty much useless now as I've had to scavenge it for parts for the other. I've actually had a lot of luck getting parts shipped in from HI and New Zealand, where there are actually still a ton of these on the roads.

These things are SQUIRRELLY! The tires are so flimsy that the bike wanders slightly even if you're on a smooth road. With the wind to your back, you can get the things up to 39MPH!

Classic, why is it so easy for me to imagine you "riding bitch" on one of these?

It's ok for you to want it for yourself, we don't judge you. No reason to drag your wife into it.

I normally wave at everyone i see. I feel bad when i catch a rider at the very last second and their hand is out but i didnt have time to throw a wave up. lol

I had a super bada$$ bicyclest throw me the most intense wave one time. He was tucked down with some wicked super human googles and one of the road race bikes doin like 20mph and threw his hand out so hard he kinda wiggled when he did it. Best wave ever from a non motorcycle.
