Default Waving as you pass another rider?

I have noticed that some people do this and others do not. I am just curious as to what people think/do regarding this situation.

I wave to everyone. It annoys me off when people dont' wave. Sure, there's times when you don't see a bike until the last minute, but if that's the case, there is an inordinate number of people I pass that aren't paying attention.

The best though, and only Harley guys in my experience are guilty of this, is when they will purposefully look down, or away, so they can't feel better about not waving at you.

Don't be a douchebag. Bottom line.

I'm a lazy asshole and there are a shit ton of motorcycles on the road here. If I waved at everyone my hand would be in an almost permanent wave. Fuck that.

I wave to most.

Between 4AM and 8AM I wave at everybody and usually everybody waves back, cruisers and euro bikes included.

Between 8AM and 10AM I'll wave to most but nod at cruisers.

I wave most times unless I am not paying attention or doing something else and can't. There are a few roads here where it is common knowledge that waving is not required like the entire deals gap area.

I hardly ever initiate a wave, but I will wave back to anybody riding anything that waves first. I grumble to myself when a scooter or a trike rider waves first, but I still wave back

I've been riding 15 years. I'm sick of waving. You've got a motorcycle too, I get it, whoop-diddee-fucking-doo.

15 years? Wow, you're awesome. I had been riding 15 years about 22 years ago and I can still find it in me to wave.
