Default Peace or V-Twin

When you acknowledge another rider on the road and throw up a V with your two fingers, is it for Peace, in honor of the legendary V-twin, or both?

It's because a bee hit me on the webbing between my fingers and stung me, now it burns like hell and I'm waving it around in pain! It don't mean nothing except to the guy waving it around, might mean "f&^k you" to someone else. Just read another post, guy said the two fingers pointed down were to signify keep both wheels on the road, 39 years of riding, first I ever heard that. So, if I wave at a car I should point four fingers at that road? How about a crotch rocket, if I just raise my middle finger am I telling him to wheelie? Well, at least I usually get that one right!

I never saw anyone give a peace sign. They still do that today?

Two fingers up means I'm going to eat at the "Y". Two fingers down means I have to drop a deuce.

I usually point two fingers down for rubber side down. I forget where I learned that from but I've only been riding a couple of years now so maybe it's new. I also wave to anything on two wheels, motor or not, even crotch rockets.
