If it is safe to wave then I will. If I am in a turn or the road sucks you will not get a wave from me. To flip someone off because they do not wave, is not very friendly. Also may be dangerous, you never know who is packing these days. This is true on your bike or in your car. Too much road rage.

Agree, If it has two wheels. We wave. We are all brothers on the road

I think you guys are on to something with too many peeps to wave at, just like there seems to be too many cars moving out of the way and not so many bikers waving thank you anymore. I like it when other bikers wave, it's nice to know some people are still friendly just because.
