You got to love those guys who start to wave and then they realize you're not riding a bike they like, or here in NE WI you have a helmet on (seems to be a local Harley non-helmet wearing thing), or they're riding in a group and their buddies in front of them didn't wave and they don't want be the "uncool" one who did wave .. one of these days one of them is going to throw their arm out trying to pull it back in so quick.
cficole, amusing and true at the same time. I ride a TG so I'm in the left hand up high group even when I rode a sportster, low riders and softails. Never the "cool" hand pointing to the ground group.(I consider that lazy) If I can't give a hand wave I'll nod my head - if they're close enough to see.
You also have to use common sense and not wave if it's dangerous to do so.
Wave if you like or don't wave - it's up to you.
I don't care if I appear cool or dorky to you, I'm having the time of my life just riding in the wind and enjoying the hell out of it and not caring a ratz-azz what anybody thinks.
Ride safe

I have discovered different elements of the wave.
Like Izzo - you wave, I'll wave back.
Trike waves, I hold down the thumb with two fingers.
On occasion, I give certain folks THE POINT. Confuses the hell out of folks. Kinda like a loud horn toot at somebody in their yard or on a porch that you do not know. I also give THE POINT to someone in a gang on the side of the road that I don't know just so they can BS to everyone there; "Yeah, I know that Dude". That one works best when THE POINT is given to the mouthy one of the group that "Has the floor" as chief of BS winding up some big detailed BS that is boring some of the group and admired by the weak minded; that target becomes easily identified with experience.
Perhaps some of you may receive my "Point" in the future, as it appears there may be some in here who qualify. I'll be looking...
