Am I the only one that when riding either waves or not depending on my mood. Then rushes home fires up the old computer and checks to see how many other riders I have offended?

I get the wave "thing" and sometimes I do but jeez it seemed like every third vehicle today was a motorcycle - on and off the bars for two hours! I guess I miss the long open roads where seeing another biker was a welcome sight and waving meant something. I agree with the poster that said "I wave depending on my mood" No not a skill thing for me taking one or both hands off the bars = no problem, just the constant waving is annoying. Rant over.

I'll wave back if I'm not going around a corner or shifting gears or something. That's as far as I'll take it.

I like to nod at other bikers, sometimes I wink when I nod, depends on whether I'm feeling gay or hetero that day.......

Wave, don't wave, no one cares, making to much out of this. I'll wave when my hand ain't busy. How about we all start lifting our shirts (if you wear one) and show some tit?
