Ever since I got back from Maui this year - it's a loose "hang Loose" wave.

Just my 2 cents.

Wave - It's nice to know that at least the people on 2 wheels are watching out for you.

I wave with my hand down towards the ground... sudden hand in the wind at speed is sorta touchy at times... I wave to any biker brother or sister who wants to be friendly... Also, and especially to kids who turn to see the bike rumbling past... Anyone who seems to enjoy a bike, or even those who look like life is upsidedown for them....
