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?

Can't so won't wave
Dis-located my left shoulder (doing barrel rolls in a racing kayak).
Very hard to do the "wave"
I also will not take my hands off the controls for any reason at any time.
Will throw the peace or number 1 with my left fingers. Pretty sure it can't be seen under most circumstances.
Will also nod if trying to make sure they see a reply. (kind of feel like I'm trying to be a bad-*** when I do that? (I am so ?)
This is also an ANNOYING JEEP THING. Bought the wife a 1015 Wrangler and threw some wheels and 35's on there.
Half the Jeep people wave. Never women.
Can't remember when the last time I even noticed was?
Whenever other riders do NOT wave. I thank them to myself.
That video !!!???
Didn't Honda "you meet the nicest people..." start that ?

Hell, I even wave at people on riding mowers.
Only waving at Harleys would be kinda hypocritical, since I'm often riding something other than a Harley myself.

Maybe...
But usually people point with their toes. Looks like the guy is trying to do some dirtbike leg hang. Either way I wave to everyone.
