Cool To Wave or Not to Wave

This might stir up a hornet's nest, but do you personally only wave to Harley's, or do you also wave to sport-bikes and other motorcycles? Ever wave to scooters?

disappointed you should be asking if it's alright to wear a pansy @ss dew rag instead of a wave post, most riders think they will void their warranty if they take a hand off the bars while in gear, I wave at anything two wheels, three wheels and on riding lawnmowers.

Third post or 1,003 post - not sure what difference it makes. 'Just tossing out some conversation. Motorcycle camaraderie on the road is something that all my friends are blown-away by.

It's all good, newb. Welcome to the board. After you are here for awhile you will realize that a few subjects, like this one, seem to be a bit.... shall we say... 'just tossed out for conversation' A lot, like three or four times a week, and get to be the butt of a few jokes.
