remember...all cagers are potential bike rider killers; why would you wave?
But some of us both ride and drive (cage it).

so you think I'm an idiot...I think the sun must have fried your brain...bikers always look out for bikers but cagers don't! That's my point.

Next time a cager almost hits you smile and wave at them.

I drive a cage too, but I look out for bikes more because they are the most vulnerable.

Like I posted I dont wave at every fricking ca ron the damn road... I have been riding on the street since I was 15 and no problems yet... I guess I grew up around a little more intelligent people who knew how to ride a little more defensive then you

so when your in a cage you become a potential killer?

that has nothing to do with waving at a potential bike killer... do you think this thread was written for EVERY car on the road.... I doubt it.. it was for the ones who acknowledge you or have an HD sticker on the window.......

Yes and yes. I noticed almost all cage drivers waving at me when I was riding through some small southern towns. At first, I thought it was weird, but after a while, I thought it was pretty cool!

I also always have little kids waving at me when i ride by, hehehe... and kids on school busses, too!

Cheers!

I wave sometimes when driving my car or truck. Just habit I guess, but I don't think I've ever gotten a wave back.

I wave at bikes when I'm in my truck but my knuckles always hit the door panel.

Yeah, Clammy, I wave at the kids in schoolbusses too.
