Waving

Do you wave to ALL bikes or just sportbikes? I wave to everyone, in fact I get a good grin when I wave to a Harley and they don't wave back. :hi:

Do you wave to ALL bikes or just sportbikes? I wave to everyone, in fact I get a good grin when I wave to a Harley and they don't wave back. :hi: I also wave to all.... sometimes, not often, a harley rider will wave first.. usually if he's by himself, and not one of the hard-core bandana, half shell, chaps, and chain wallet types. Rarely have a sportbike rider not wave to me. Always makes ya feel good when a fellow rider gives ya a wave!!!! :hi:

I hear ya, but yes, I wave to all bikes. Most choppers, etc, wave back, it's the dentists etc on harleys that don't. lol :hi:

I try to wave to everybody, even the hogs. But if they don't wave back, my hand goes up with a different type of wave....here's a hint #1 :D

even the hogs. But if they don't wave back, my hand goes up with a different type of wave....here's a hint #1 :D hell, they give that signal to their own kind on a regular basis... :bonk:

I wave to all as well. Sometimes I may forget and the other rider will do so and then I remember. LOL :)

most HD riders are poser, well up where i am i get waves from most hd when i head south of the border did you that like 50%(or something around there) of revenue comes from all the assoresies that HD sell

I let my FrontWheel wave for me...

:seeya:

I wave to all sport bikes riders and only HD that wave first. got tired of wave'n and not get'n a return...

Sometimes a wave, but mostly just a nod of the helmet. I'm usually too busy riding to do the low five to everyone.

Riding last night to go get Matt to go riding and I passed a guy on a red ducati 999 and waved and he looked at me like I wasn't even in his class to wave back. What a dick. Its not my fault you are paying on your bike for the next 10 yrs and I paid cash for mine. :D Anyways, I don't get it with some riders. Your HD riders and some others on certain bikes. Some ducati's and a few on busa's just feel they are better and don't wave. They see you but feel they are better. If they crashed on that bike, they are going down the same way anyone else wuld on a bike. Damn retards. :D

:iagree: :loser: As I like to say F'em if they can't take a joke! :lol:

I almost comitted the ultimate in rider waving taboo last night. I was crusing home, enjoy some nice side streets when I see the head lamp of another biker coming my way. I have a little formula for waving now: Another crotch rocket, I have the wave ready to go; a street cruiser and I'm in stand-by mood; a harley and I barely make eye contact, let alone prepare to even return a wave let alone start one. So anyway, from a distance I see what appears to be another rocket coming my way, so I'm getting ready to slid the low wave off to him. Just as my left hand was about to leave the grip, I noticed I almost waved to A SCOOTER!!!!!! What was I thinking? Thankfully I corrected myself and was able to save the embarassement I would have endured at such a mistake.

It would have been ok if it was like a hot chick or somthing

hahahaha.....I wave at everyone if they dont wave back then f'em....

you can find some hot chicks on scooters around the beach...especially the ones delivering carry out!! :D but seriously, atleast its too wheels, give em that much....but nothing more.. :lol:

I wave to any chicks, most dont wave back tho..... :(

I wave to any chicks, most dont wave back tho..... :( :cry: I feel for you. Does your women know you are waving to all the women?? :D

Yeah, she's not worried being the better looking one in their relationship... :lol:

HEY HEY HEY!!!! There is nothing wrong with waiving, Plus she has nothing to be worried about. SHe insure's all my bikes.

HEY HEY HEY!!!! There is nothing wrong with waiving, Plus she has nothing to be worried about. SHe insure's all my bikes. I wasn't even going to go there. :wink: But everybody can understand what's up with the insurance thing. Come on it's Twisty, if you sold insurance and knew him, would you want to insure his bike? :skep: Not to mention that he's probably never met a officer that didn't like him enough to give him a good driving award. :wink: Got to luv that Twisty, he fast and funny! :rolleyes: But he's right, nuttin wrong with waving. He's just being a nice guy. :puke:

That's right Iam real nice guy...... :redevil:

On a side note I wave to bike cops around here. At first they would just give a nod like, "WTF?" I guess nobody had done that before. lol Now, though, they all wave back just like anyone else. I've talked to a few of them and they're actually cool. If you knew me and some of the past I've had, that's basically like entering the Twilight Zone. lol

all the bike cops around here, ride Hogs..of course since the assembly plant is here in York...some of wave, and others do not. I got pulled over by one about 2 months ago, for doing 43 in a 25 (city), he was cool, andlet me off with running a red light (no points) , instead of the fine & points for speeding, so for that, I can say some are cool,and he waved to me when he left :confused:

Well thats good. We don't need you getting points and trying to rack them up like Twisty does. :D

Well thats good. We don't need you getting points and trying to rack them up like Twisty does. :D just gotta know how to talk your way outta the points, around here atleast..and it helps when you have a hot chick on the back too!! :D

just gotta know how to talk your way outta the points, around here atleast..and it helps when you have a hot chick on the back too!! :D So if the hot chick is not on the back I guess your ***** out of luck with your pretty face and girly curves. :D :dthumb: :D :cheers:

So if the hot chick is not on the back I guess your ***** out of luck with your pretty face and girly curves. :D :dthumb: :D :cheers: yeah, unless Im riding w/ u and we get pulled over by a gay cop; you can get us outta that one then huh.. :D :lol:

pulled over by a gay cop; you can get us outta that one then huh.. :D :lol: You two need to :hug: . :leaving:

You two need to :hug: . :leaving: :lol: :lol:

You two need to :hug: . :leaving: :eek: :puke: LOL

:withstupi ;)

We are just to much. :lol:

OK So I have a question about the whole waving deal. Is there a real reason as to why "bikers" feel it is common courtesy to wave to other "bikers"? I mean I have never really given it any thought, but I don't exactly wave to other Dodge Neons' as they go by. :seeya: However after reading this thread, I decided, What the Hell, give it a try. So lately I have been waving to my fellower "Dodgers" and they just give me this look like :skep: :screwy: She ain't right! So has anyone else given it a try? (Good thing I don't drive a Pinto, there wouldn't be too many peeps to wave to!) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hell, what other experience gives u a thrill just riding down to fill up the tank w/ gas ? If all riders would just get off their "hog high horse" , and come back to reality like the rest of us, we wouldnt get so many one-sided waves. And no, not all sportbikers are perfect, but I get alot more waves from them for sure. :)

Hell, what other experience gives u a thrill just riding down to fill up the tank w/ gas ? So this explains why the old man needs to get gas just about every night! :lol:

So this explains why the old man needs to get gas just about every night! :lol: Hey, why isnt he calling me when he goes down for gas!! :eek: :D

Hey, why isnt he calling me when he goes down for gas!! :eek: :D Darn it. I knew I was forgetting something. It must be this old age thing getting to me. LOL I was riding tonight and saw to "hogs" and before I thought about waving, they waved to me first and shocked me. I think they were out of towners just in for the H-D bike show Thursday and Friday. :)

I wave to all bikes. Even kids on dirt bikes/quads on the side of the road. I ride a bike and drive a Corvette; I do a lot of waving. It's not so good when I'm driving the family hauler minivan though.

It's not so good when I'm driving the family hauler minivan though. You'd admit that on an open forum? :yikes:

I wave at all of 'em...from the 50cc sccoter the the biggest lane hogging boat anchor. I figure if they are out on two wheels they deserve a modicum of respect. I can't account for their taste or brain function with the choices some make, but if they don't wave back...they can BITE ME !!!!!!

Since a new post was made I figure I'd make one too. I have a different view of who waves back, but perhaps that's because of my current bike (more of a cruiser). Harley's and other cruisers will wave, but many sportbikes don't. I am often the first to wave so that doesn't play into the situation. Maybe the sports around here are different, but they seem to be the stuck up ones. As for waving while in cars... Corvette drivers do and a while back I started waving to fellow Camaro drivers. Most of 'em look at me like I'm nuts, but I do get the occasional wave back. I've even been known to get acknowledgement from some firebird/formula/transams... that typically comes with eye contact and a nod, but I consider it a start. I will continue to wave to other camaros and all other bikes on the road. Ever gotten ready to wave to a biker when you weren't on your bike? I sure as heck have, but I caught myself!

Ever gotten ready to wave to a biker when you weren't on your bike? I sure as heck have, but I caught myself! i do that all the time...feel like an arse when they dont wave back!! :lol:

Most of 'em look at me like I'm nuts, :lol: Yep I do now, I wave to anybody driving a Dodge Neon! LOL After reading this post I just wondered what people would do, so I tried and sure enought they look at me like I am wacko!! :screwy: But hey, it's fun!!

i do that all the time...feel like an arse when they dont wave back!! :lol:Same here. Finally have gotten over it, I think. Wave to all two-wheelers. After all, we're all suffering from the cagers'.

Wave to all two-wheelers. '. wish everybody had that attitude..

I wave everything....except scooters. I just can't bring myself to wave to people on scooters/mopeds. Is that wrong?

I wave everything....except scooters. I just can't bring myself to wave to people on scooters/mopeds. Is that wrong? u can look at it as they are on 2 wheels too, so they deserve a wave from us..or u can look at it as, get a real bike dude! :lol: although, I dont usually find myself waving at them either, especially when its some punk kid riding around like an arse in traffic on them like he's all that.. :crazy:

I dont wave to HD's because I take out the trash not wave to it.

I dont wave to HD's because I take out the trash not wave to it. Im thinking of starters a harley haters group down in york..u can be my first member.. :lol:

I wave to Twisty as I pass him. lol..

I wave to Twisty as I pass him. lol.. Is that when he is getting gas or a stand-still when you pass him. :D :lol:

lol.. Yeah ain't that the truth. I like flatten his tire and then take off like YEAH I BEAT TWISTY! lol.. Actually I did wave to him when I passed him on Telegraph the other day - I was in traffic in my car and he was waiting to turn right - not sure if he saw me and he probably wouldn't recognize my car anyways but yeah I do wave to Twisty when I pass him.. lol..
