I will wave to anyone. Sometimes though I will wait until they wave first. I dont know why that is. I waving and no getting a wave back. When I had my Jeep Wrangler people with other Jeeps waved all the time it was great.
Maybe someone can explain though why the wave for motorcycling is the low wave?

Wave when I can. But sometimes in traffic or a curve that is next to impossible.
