Waving- US vs. THEM!
I love this cruiser vs crotch rocket waving war. While on my ride yesterday, I performed a 100% legit experiment to see who waves and who doesn't. Results are not debatable... ha!
I count a head nod as a wave, too, because sometimes I nod.
Guess who didn't wave or nod back?..... wait for it.... wait for it.... 2 Harley riders. HA! .. maybe they were sleeping... or maybe they winked, and I couldn't see!
Plenty of sportbikers responded. I do force the issue by waving first. I think a lot of people wait to see if the other rider waves, so they don't risk the 'rejection' of not getting a wave back.
I really don't care, but like I said, I think this is a funny topic.

Here's my personal take on this whole waving thing. And this has nothing to do with the OP or anyone here just to be clear. Just stop it.
I (we) all got enough s@&$ to worry about while driving then to be waving in the air or pointing at the ground (still don't know what that pointing at the ground thing is after 30 years)
Morons in cars looking down fiddeling with radio stations, gps, text messages phones, drifting into my lane, slowing or stopping unexpectedly, you name it.
Pot holes, sand crap in the roads. Idiots blowing stop signs, intersections, doing uturns in front of me, trucks can loose a re-tread.....you name it. Its going on out there right by you.
You got to be scanning the roads and be ready to save your ***. If you want to lock onto a bike coming your way a mile away and start watching him as he gets closer to throw him a wave while your supposed to be negotiating a curve because you got to wave cause he waved? Screw that.
I've gone down before and it ain't fun. It had nothing to do with a wave but I will never forget the feeling of going down. And breaking a few bones and screwing up my bike by 4k.
No good reason for this wave crap. Enjoy your ride....Stay alert and stay Alive. Just saying.

I've read a lot of the other threads, which is why I'm aware of how ridiculous this whole waving thing is... I just think it's funny. Pretty sure you can just ignore threads that irritate you.
BTW, IZZO, thanks for your service. Much respect.
