If there's a bike behind me I usually pull into the left part of the lane. If they pull beside me I'll nod or say "Hello". If they don't I just nod.
If they're ahead of me and don't pull into the left part of the lane I stay back as staggered as I can. If they do pull into the left part of the lane I'll pull up beside them.

I'm the friendly type, even if heaven forbid their not riding a harley...LOL. But, I usually don't pull up right beside, but behind/offset, if they look I say hello and may make a positive comment about the fantastic riding that day (called enjoying life...), if not, I save all the enjoyment for myself!!!!

I rev my engine in morse code:
-. .. -.-. . / -... .. -.- . / -... .-. --- - .... . .-. / .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -- --- - --- .-. -.-. -.-- -.-. .-.. . ... / .- -. -.. / .-- . / ... .... --- ..- .-.. -.. / -... . / ..-. .-. .. . -. -.. ...
They love that.
Especially you've got some nice after market pipes.
They usually shake their fists in enthusiasm.
Several times guys have gotten of their bikes and started to walk over to me - probably to give me a high five - but the light always turns green before they have a chance so I usually just give them one REALLY LONG honk of the horn as I drive off to say good bye.

PUll up next to me at your own risk. I can't pass gas while seated, so I have to wait until I can actually lift my butt off of the Sundowner, which only happens when the bike isn't rolling.
I hope you don't mind the smell of Metabolized Chili.
