Wave to any two wheel and to every LEO. Figure most of them ride themselves, and besides, want to seem friendly for when they eventually pull me over.

Do you guys wave to everyone driving a mini van when you are driving yours? Or do you wave to everyone driving a pick up when you are in your pick up? Some of you really have this wave down to a science don'tcha?

Low peace sign to everyone on two wheels that will look my way.
The only one that ignored me yesterday was a wingding. I'll loose no sleep over that.
Love using the wave at mopeds. It either scares them or puts a grin on there face.

On my old Dyna, I used to use the left hand down low Harley wave. But now on the Ultra its followed by the hand vigorsly shaking trying to cool my hand off from being too close to the rear cylinder. Darned heat issues, you know

Oops, I have been doing a sideways 2 finger peace sign-wave. I ride both Harley's and a Honda sport bike. Maybe that's whyI am confused!

As Im driving at approximately 45 mph, I stand on the floorboards and with my left hand unbuckle my pants and left them drop to the seat, exposing my *** to my fellow "waver". This is of course top secret "biker" talk.

YEP, but man does it hurt when I throw my hand out to wave and forget the Mini Vans widow is still up.
What kind of pipes are you runnin on your M-Van stock or Glass Packs? And what polish do you use on the hubs caps?
