When I'm on a Harley, my favorite people to wave to are scooter riders. They get this deer in the headlight look and never wave back...
On my Russian sidecar rig, kids wave, old guys on riding mowers wave, pretty girls wave, military folks wave, and I've had Russians follow me into parking lots so they could talk about it. Even Harley riders wave! Most of them don't that when I'm on a Sportster, what's with that?

I don't wave to anyone, Its to scary to take my left hand off the bars. I'm afraid my right hand will give it more gas and I'll pop a wheely!! Besides, isn't it against the law?

The other day I was standing outside the post office. A car full of high school girls drove by, one of them yelled out I LIKE YOUR BEARD. I waved, she screamed and they drove away.
I've still got it.

Well thank goodness, I don't ride in packs so that makes me a Lone Wolf, and come summer, I am going to pass through Oklahoma on my way to Colorado. At least I'll get one wave. LOL

Hey LoneWoolf --- Does #2 mean no one period, at all, ever? I don't wave to other bikes going in the opposite direction, but I'll wave to a kid on the side of the road, or somebody on the front porch, or something like that. I didn't do the poll because I wave "sometimes" --- just not at other bikes unless I know who it is.

You didn't post my answer, which is everyone, if convenient. When I rode a Kawasaki, I assumed the Harley riders that didn't wave back were snobs.
But maybe they wanted to concentrate on the cars immediately ahead of them, instead of searching 6 lanes across from them to see my wave. I have been late braking for someone stopping short in front of me, because I was waving. So I am more judicious about when I wave now. Depend on traffic, my mood, and how many bikes are out.
So my answer is sometimes, but has nothing to do with their brand.
