Would that be pre or post wave?

A bunch of silliness created by newbies looking for validation.

To properly wave make sure to keep your hand at shoulder height and remember, wrist wrist wrist, elbow elbow.

I withhold my wave until I'm 100% certain it's not a metric, or even worse, a Sportster.

Obviously not a waver or wavee!

Personally, if I see them first, I'll start it. If they don't wave back, I figure they didn't see me or they're not sociable.

I wish it wasn't raining, otherwise I would go take a poll right now and get back to you on percentages this evening.

I did the wave at a Guns & Roses concert while we were waiting 2 hrs past show time for them to take the stage.

it is only cool to wave when wearing assless chaps, fingerless gloves, and a do-rag. damn i almost forgot--you have to have your vest with your HOG patches and pins on also. other wise, you are just a poser/rub pretending to be cool. and don't even think about waving when riding in flip flops and shorts!!
