Default do u wave at other bikers

i asking cuz it just iritates me sometimes, i mean no disrespect but it gets old, i nearly quit waving. ive had people in the curves bout wipe them selves out just to wave, thats dumb. im not going to miss a gear or wait to shift or put myself at risk just so i can wave. i dont wave at everone that drives a chevy pickup. ive tried but they dont wave back. now i might throw an occasional wave but not to often. usaually give the ol nod. u know the whats up nod. so if u see me and i dont wave dont take it personal.

Drive a Jeep it's the same thing, only a jeep wave. Guess they figure you have something in common. Ya I wave at bikes unless there are to many, out on a trip most everybody waves, you meet up with some nice people on the open road living life just like you are, well worth a wave

Oh, it's that time of the year again.
To answer your question, no, I don't wave at other bikers. I U-turn, chase them down and give them a big hug.
I'm gonna fuggin kill the next clown who opens a fuggin thread about fuggin waving, I tell ya.

+1 for me.

And who cares how many threads there are. Geez. You saw the thread title and weren't forced to click on it. Could have just kept on going but you just had to take time to come in and give your $.02... Life is too short to bitch about how many threads there are on waving at other bikes.
