okay. that's it. I don't know whether to wave, point, give the peace sign, look for something in the road or do nothing. I'm going to wreck trying to figure it all out.

Don't do that. No one will pull over to help you.

I wave, it's also fun to throw up a huge wave to the crotch rockets, they just stare

Do whatever you feel comfortable doing. Don't do it because somebody else does it. It's a personal choice.

I remember waving to a kid on a scooter once, boy did his face light up. Bet he went to school and told all his buddy's a guy on a Harley waved to him. Probable owns a Harley now.

Made me fell good too.

Yeah, I wave at Crotch riders too, just for the hell of it. they usually don't wave back, but some do. They never wave first I must point out. Like to keep the anti H-D animosity going.

I was riding next to a rice bike this morning coming into work. I came up next to him and waved. He pointly ignored me! Haha just slowed down and got away from me. Was a kid. No jacket, just a long sleeve shirt and a full face helmet and jeans. Was 55 this morning. He had to of been cold.

I find more Harley riders not waving back than rice rockets. Gold Wing riders automatically wave - it's in their DNA

I have noticed that a lot of rice rocket riders are sitting upright and have their left hand on their leg as they go by - I think that's so they can wave at the last minute if someone else wave first. Just my observation.
