Sorry, I'm not waving

[3adkied]

When I first started riding, I didn't even know about the whole waving thing. I was amazed at how many bikers were waving at me - Harleys, Jap bikes, and everything else - so I figured it out quickly. It is a lot tougher now that I'm a commuter in SoCal, between lane-splitting and seeing half the people when I'm going through an intersection and have my hand on the clutch. If I'm not sure on the etiquette (going the opposite direction on a divided freeway - it's dangerous enough without giving your attention to the folks going the other way) I just pretend I didn't notice them until they wave first. Even if they're on a trike, if they wave it at least means they're a friend of bikers, they support us, and are looking out for us on the road.

2 weels less than four and weigh alot less so wave. Also if there is a cop tap you head and tell some one lol. saves us alot of grief and makes riders look alot better in the public eye, espicially for

I wave to most riders out there, we all face the same dangers and experience the joyful sights and smells as the next biker...now i'll tell who I don't wave to and thats the squid on a sbk wearing nothing but a helmet, shorts and skate kicks...if you don't respect yourself, then why should I show you any? Two cents...

You have to also take into consideration that the trike rider you refused to wave/point to could be a ol' biker that was diabled in some way on his two-wheeler in the past and wants to stay out there to get all of the experience he or she can...

I only wave at chicks.


unless they are on cruisers, then I don't
