Who waves?
I'm sure that this has been polled before but I wasn't around so here goes. Some friends and I took a trip from CA to WA and back. In CA ( or at least socal) it seems that about 50% of HD riders wave to each other and god forbid wave to anything else! However; when we rode through Oregon and Washington everyone waves to everyone no matter what you are riding. It was really nice how friendly everone was. So anyway just wondering what it is like across the country.

RE: Who waves?
WA native, usually wave to all. On the topic, most of the H-D riders seem to have a distinct wave; hand left arm down with something resembling a "peace" sign.I'm still an H-D newbie and, buying my DWG thru ebay instead of a dealer, I missed out on the "H-D 101" video-course the dealers must make new buyers watch 
...so I'm having to glean all this H-D Culture stuff thru the grapevine. Seriously, is the "H-D wave" a "cultural thing" that one just learns to imitate? When I rode my Vulcan, I used to give a quick "Live Long And Prosper" wave just above the left grip...figger'd it might catch-on as a Vulcan rider "thing". OK...maybe a BIT corny!

RE: Who waves?
I wave to everyone, unless I am getting close to a major rally. I think everyone has an unwritten rule to drop the wave when there is more bikes than cages.

I wave to anyone that waves at me. Bicycles, car, Honda Rebel 250, don't matter to me. Well, everyone but sportster riders, they need to get a real bike
