I wave like a special olympic torch boy.

I get it from all kinds of bikes (and none from all kinds of bikes). I noticed lately less and less waves as the number of motorcycles seem to increase. And in Atlanta itself you rarely get a wave because you are surrounded by bikes and scooters anyways.

I did have a guy today on a Harley full dresser pull up next to me (and I think split traffic) to say hey. It felt kind of awkward so I ignored him.

LOL

I'll wave at most bikes I pass but I don't care too much if I don't get one in return. I could care less.

I had a harley guy wave to another harley who was about 1/8th of a mile ahead of me... then just stare at me as I went by... caught up to the guy in front of me at a light... looked at him and waved... he just stared...

Damn... must be hard living up to the image...

I find around here there is no point even raising the hand, 9 out of 10 bikes are Hardleys. I've heard "rice burner POS" so many times in the last year that I just say it for them.

Yes, I see you. You're on a motorcycle too! OMG! How fabulous! Let's wave like happy assholes! Fuck that. Go away.

I was on the BMWOA site just before the rally this year. There was actually a thread about the "proper" distance from the rally site, when you could officially stop waving. I think they settled on ten miles. What, we need a fucking manual now?

Assholes. Stop with the goddamn waving already, it's embarrassing.

Ahh yes, that is so true... thread can stop there as far as I am concerned.

Screw that waving shit!!!

Do I know you? If I do then I'll wave to you. If I don't then why should I wave to you? Or vice versa?

Not waving is becoming more and more popular around here. Everyone used to wave. I'm over the waving...but I still do it. It's habit.

The safety vest is required for the military, yes.........But personally I think it's a good idea for anyone whose bike and gear are all black. Unless they enjoy being invisible, that is.
