Left, right, doesn't matter to me.

I am wondering why you are following me around and watching my riding style.....

Some people just haven't figured out how to do a proper Biker Wave. We need to show them the way to Biker Bliss and bring them into the fold.

This is a proper Biker Wave. Notice the intentional lack of eye contact and casual arm hang with feigned Peace Sign. That is the definition of "cool"



This is not a proper Biker Wave. Some people just don't follow the rules!!



I hope these illustrations have been helpful.

That totally clears it up. Thanks.

I didnt think we could do a biker wave in Arizona, since we don't have an ocean. Now I understand.

Wait, no ocean? But I just bought some oceanfront property there, and got a really good deal on it.

Never heard of this. Trying it now as I'm reading/typing and I'm hooked. Thanks!

Well, I do The "Harley" arm hang for the simple fact that some other motorcycle rider will see me do it and wonder 'what the heck' is he doing?

Same thing when I'm mounting or dismounting my bike by putting my foot over the seat from the right or left side or standing on the floorboard and swinging my leg over my wife's head while keeping my balance.

Usually anything to make another rider look and wonder, "why is he doing that?" Much fun for me..........

We'll be moving that way as soon as California falls off into the Pacific.

Must a regional thing.

Only time I see an arm hanging down is when someone is resting their arm.
