See, that's just fine too. Hey, be sure to let me know it is you coming the other way so I don't wave. Just wave at me or something so I know its you.

I've had the same experience. On my Yamaha, 1 in 10 HD riders wave. On my HD 9+ in 10 wave.

I'm only tempted not to wave when a scooter does the wave... but I smile and wave anyway.

I don't typically wave unless waved at though. Like mentioned above, I don't know the person. The exceptions are in the winter when there are only hearty souls out, or at the crack of Spring in celebration of the start of riding season. Then it just seems appropriate to me.

I have people in cages wave at me. Don't know why, maybe something is trying to fall off of the scooter.

I even waved at a Cop this past Saturday, but only because he was stopped on the side of the highway on a Cop Harley.
