How do you know it was a "bikers wave" and not merely the wave of a motorcycle enthusiast?

There's a hand full of regurgitated topics around here. They always end up in the same place. If history repeats, and it probably will, there's gonna be plenty of squabling about who and when the "biker wave" gets used.

I'm not sure what there is to argue about. My post conveys exactly what happened. Not sure how often that happens, but kudos to those riders.

Not really an argument, you dont get the "humor"of the forums yet is all. There have been many "biker wave " threads, thats why the responses are flowing the way that they are, but to elaborate on the "Biker wave' its something I do or dont do, it depends on the situation, for example if I am waiting to turn left at an intersection, and an oncoming bike waves, i dont return, because I am basically in the process of "pulling out" for my left hand turn. Alot of times I get the wave at inopportune moments, and I dont return, if I am at a cruise I will return, and I always wave at Pirates....
