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...

In Georgia were I live it is quite hilly. If I am sitting a stop light I usually have the clutch in and the front brake applied, if a rider waves at me during my currently occupied state I deliberately turn my head toward them and node. Acknowleding to wave, I would take the rev of the engine as an acknowledment.

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).

I should have explained myself. This is my RUBBISH thread protest video. Whenever one of these threads pops up, I will post it.
