This is from the rule book.....
Types of waves...
To a Goldwing rider...Hand straight up.
To a Crotch rocket rider... 2 finger peace sign side to side wave.
To a Can Am rider... Full Hand, straight out to the side arm fully extended...At least 1/8 of a mile before they get to you.
To a Regular trike rider... High with 3 fingers
To a Metric cruiser.. Wave hard
To a BMW rider...Don't bother, they barely never wave. (still ok to try but don't get pissed of if they don't reciprocate)
To a HD rider...Just a short wave down low, in the middle or up high...just don't over do it so not to look too much like a real poser...
This was in the poser book of waving.

In England you get a nod (not all the time) this doesn't seem to extend to learner riders or scooters.
Some just don't bother but if I see a fellow Harley davidson rider they revieve a nod and a heel click over the handlebars whilst giving a hearty wink and a gun...

So, what's everyone's take on waving to / acknowledging trikes or moped/scooters? Kind of a grey issue with me, I never know if I should, but usually I do, because I figure they are out enjoying life on the open road also.
