Ever since I bought my ugly goggles from Capn Itch I havent had to deal with the wave. I think everyone is too busy looking at my goggles to remember to wave..

I wave.

I even wave to people in their front yards,walking down the street,women jogging (they get a smile too),kids on their bicycles.

What's the problem with being friendly ?

I wave, why not? Doesn't do much, if anything it encourages blood flow back into my arm after being on the road for hours.

On a different note, whats an OP?

I wave, but it gets old because sometimes I pass so many motorcycles that I can't just relax on my bike without constantly waving. As far as curves, I wave at people in curves just because I think it's funny that people can't wave in curves.

Some times I wave sometimes I don't.If it's a crotch rocket I don't wave,they think I'm an old fart & I think they're young punks & we could both be wrong.It doesn't hurt my arm to wave so why not.
