Feels kinda cool to get your first one, though.
I'm still new to the road, but the oncoming fella didn't know that. He threw his hand out there and it felt pretty good to return the gesture.

Occassionaly I will give a nod, or a 1/2 hearted wave. But I figure that, when in my car or truck, I don't wave at every car or truck that passes......so why be so much different on my bike?
Twenty or thirty years ago I waved more, but now......with so many bikes on the road it gets to be a pain in the ****.

I love waving at the scooter boys! Most of them around here wont wave back. All I'm trying to say to them is that if they have the ***** to go 60mph on something with wheels that tiny...they have my respect!

In my town, the jap's won't give you anything. If you come up on an HD, with an HD, you get a hand, or a nod. I can see an HD a half mile away. And you can bet you get a wave or a nod as you pass. that's the way it is. It's a brotherhood, just to know we have the best! Iv'e met many a good friends like that, just a show of hand can tell you who is on your side. I love the cop's in this town, they pick on the rice rocket's, not the HD riders. Go figure? I guess they don't want the trouble. Wave on, Keep them in the wind, HOLLYWOOD.............
