Default WAVE OR NO WAVE?

Just curious how many of you wave to fellow bikers. I always wave, but makes you feel really dumb when they dont respond and you just stuck your arm out there like hey man! Now, depending on how I feel, I just wait for them to wave at me and I wave back.

I get tired of it after a while. By the way, I went to NY state last month, and not once did anybody wave. Suited me fine.

I think other bikers probably don't wave as they feel the same insecurity. Acknowledge all riders, when safe to do so, after all, we share the same passion. Who knows, maybe the guy that didn't respond didn't see you or they were in the middle of something that was taking all their attention. By not making the first move you are now part of the problem, one of those vicious cycle deals.

I can't believe,......another "WAVE" thread,.....


Ok,..Ok,...I don't wave to anyone,..because I'm a ***** that dresses up like the village people, and If I take my hand off of the throttle which is shaking uncontrollably(it is a Harley) I might crash my new geezer glide road couch that I paid way too much for while I was trying to compensate for my small *****.
