I waved at a moped last week.... the b!tch didn't even wave back. I ain't kidding either.


When I first started to ride, I did not recognize the wave.

Anybody waves at me I wave back even if I'm riding mybicycle. Whats the world coming to when a person would even consider not waving back. I don't get it.

Kids waving makes my day.

Icecold. I don't know where you ride and who you ride with. I do know riders take out riders. I have seen it all to often on rides, poker runs, toy runs, etc.. You also notice I didn't say bikers. You will know the difference when you don't have to ask the question.

I got a big grin and a wave from a Leo a few weeks ago. Of course I waved back!!

In reply to icecold - I don't think of all cages as potential killers. I drive one my self

Living in the south, I get a lot of waves from people in cages, even from small town LEOs. I always acknowledge them in some way. Maybe, just maybe, I will give them a better impression of bikers and they will give us a little more space.

ORIGINAL: icecold

remember...all cagers are potential bike rider killers; why would you wave?
Sorry, but this is anoffensive, ignorant response. Many of us drive cages when we're not on our rides, for all kinds of reasons. So you're saying that when we drive in our cage, we're looking to kill fellow motorcyclists? Get a clue.
