RE: If unable to wave back...

I passed a nice bike with Apes today and gave a wave. He was a red light and had his hand on the clutch and could not waive back. He did, however, give the throttle a rap as I passed. Would this be considered a "wave" in this case?
BTW, his pipes sounded so much better than mine. All I hear when I ride is the clanging of the pistons. If I get off and give the throttle a little pull, I can hear the exhaust; but not when I ride.
I need something else besides stock pipes...

You know, it's sad the effect riding metrics has on some people. LOL

RE: If unable to wave back...
If I'm not mistaken it does state on page 37 of the, "Sportster Riders Guide To Road Etiquette" better known as the, "I'm A Real Biker, Aren't I", handbook that waving at any bike other than a Sporty just like yours will get you three demerits. Anyone with 5 demerits or more in a two ride period will have to ride a rice burner nakked to the annual nationalmeeting of the notorious Black Widows MC.
So, you can't really be pissed at all Sporty riders, that one could have had 4 demerits already.

Thanks,
That's what I thought. It was dusk and getting to the point that waves were moot. I considered the throttle a wave. I have never been denied a wave on William Cannon (Austin, TX) except from a sporty. ( Yes I waved to a sporty, but he screwed it for the rest of them by not waiving back).
