I gota wave alot, if I'm ridin it's to other bikes, if I'm in my Jeep you gota wave at other Jeeps. Sometimes I'm in my F150 and wave at Jeeps forgetting I'm in a PU and they wonder WTF is wrong with that guy waving from a PU. Hell I'm so used to waving I'll probably wave at ya from my Jeep.

Last weekend I did the wave to a guy in a motorized wheelchair. At first I felt embarrassed, but than I realized that it wascool.

****.. is that's what is going on.. Waving??

I thought either their arm was tired or they were pointing at their new shiny boots. When the 2 ups wave it looks like an airplane.

Ghezzzzz all these years, wave huh?

If I were the new guy I would stay home and let her grip what ever she wants.

:+)

I like to wave at other bikes with two hands, in a curve. It tends to freak them out. I don't know why. Is this not the proper method?
