What irks me are the people who feel the need to wave at every goddamn person they see on two wheels and then get irked when they don't get a response.I like to act like I'm about to wave and then at the last second I scratch my head and fake the other guy out.
Stop waving and just ride

Man... That's just funny!
I ride against rush hour traffic and there are a ton of bikes on the road. If I waved at every one of them, I would throw my shoulder out. I work with a guy that is riding and old Yamaha of some sort. He says the Harley guys are the least likely to wave back. About 50% or so.

I was gonna say you guys that dont live in Dallas sized cities and dont ride in traffic daily can get away with waving at Vespas. I'll wave if Im not using the clutch but Im actually way too cool to wave and usually just nod. Sometimes.ps; those that suggested they look like theyre hanging on for dear life?
well Im pretty sure most of them are!

When someone buys a new bike the dealership must require them to complete a "Reguired Wave 101 Course"....
Gets old having every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Mary on a a bike feel it's necessary to "wave" to any other rider on a bike, and then feel slighted if the "wave" isn't returned.
Anymore if it's someone I don't know I'll give them a polite 'nod' in return, but this wave thing has really become a joke during the past few years.
If you don't agree that's okay, nothing personal towards anyone, just my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
