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 was riding my 2000 f4 yesterday with my buddy on a 09 ex500 ninja. We saw a couple of scooters, one of which was a girl
going in the opposite direction. So i honk and we wave to my surprise neither of them waved back,
so my buddy quickly makes a u turn so i follow cause he's a hot head and we catch them at a light. My buddy pulls on the left of them and me on the right all i do is rev my sweet soundin motor vance and hines exuast, my buddy burns out and wheelies when the light turns i just speed off behind him a few blocks up we u-turn again and flip them the bird
.........thats the last time ill ever pity wave to a scooter

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!

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.
