Default Sturgis Rally Black Hills Riding Etiquette

Please fellow riders when you are here in the Black Hills follow all the posted signs. Specifically those signs telling you it is a one lane tunnel and to sound your horn. This is not for the enjoyment of honking in a tunnel it is to let the oncoming traffic know you are there in the blind approaches to the tunnels.

Thanks

... And always wave to other bikers until you get to sturgis then don't ever wave to nobody. It's not the sturgis way.

THAT'S what I'm doing wrong....the wave thing. I somehow always get it backwards and only start waving once I get there.
Now can I wave hysterically or does it have to be that ultra-cool two fingers down to the side thing?

Waving hysterically requires the use of a Sturgis approved Straight Jacket

that would be a lot of waving going on if you wave at everybody.
Dont forget to ride with both hands on the bar.

I've done the two finger down cool wave. I've held my hand out for 20 minutes and waved at no less than 10,000 bikes, I've stood on my seat and waved with both arms. Nothing but nothing can get a wave from another biker at sturgis. I think I missed the memo.
