RE: Low Hand Salute
Being a former Corvette owner we also used to wave to each other.Same as the bike, some did it and some did not.The thingI hate the most is when the cagers pull along side and blow the horn to give you the thumbs up. Scares the sh$$T out of me.Happens to me alot here in Jerzee. Ride Safe all

High wave at low speeds
Low wave at higher speeds
Finger spread when I need to keep the hand on that grip.
Its courtesy and solidarity to wave.
But convenience and control dictate the method.

I noticed when I hit Childress TX and go north on 83, the waving stops. Every one in awhile,you will see some newbie who is on his first Sturgis run and is waving at everybody.

I think you will find that at Sturgis and other rally sites, nobody waves. You would never be able to ride. It's funny when leaving Texas for Sturgis everyone is waving. Then when you get about two states away from SD there becomes a pilgrimage of bikers and you have to stop waving. But the pilgrimage sure looks and sounds good.

that low wave is just another silly azzed harley image type thing. It's a pretty good way to identify a relative newcomer though.

I give all riders the low waive.
Normally, i don't even watch to see if they waive back if I was the first to salute.
In my area, though, other riders usually waive first...I guess riders are just friendly around here.
I don't care what they ride, so long as they're on 2 wheels.

I waved at a scooter once and as I roared by he gave me a sheepish little wave back...yeah I wave at most folks too, like you said, they're riding something, why not?
