Default Do you wave at riders not riding Harleys?

Do you give the old wave to other harley riders, but ignore sport bike riders? Do you pick and choose who you will wave to depending on what bike they are riding? I dont...but i know others that do. I was surprised to hear a convo the other day at my work between two riders that were saying who they would and wouldn't wave to (depending on what bike they were on). My wife finds this subject very comical...and cant believe that there are any riders at all that would wave depending on what bike you are riding. I know its a thing for sport bike riders..i use to be one and most of them will not wave at harley riders on purpose. Whats your opinion on this subject?

The wave and who you wave at topic has been beat to death. Everybody has their own rules of who they wave at and who they dont.

I personally wave at any other motorcycle, and if a scooter or bicycle rider waves I wave back.

I wave at anything on two wheels and trikes as well.

The nut above the seat is more important than any nut or bolt under the seat.
