Only the "princess wave" is allowed while trailering. Everybody knows that.

You only wave if you have more than 40,000 miles on the bike that you are trailering.

Those guys with the enclosed trailers think there better than everybody else. They don't even wave back most of the time to us guys using open trailers. I was snubbed several times in just the last couple of days.

The trailer wave must be a west coast thing, On the east coast its more of a salute style acknowledgement. (open trailers only )
