I personally like the beauty pageant/Queen of England wave myself.
I do the same but the only ones that seem to get it ride Triumphs, Nortons or BSA's

I am one of the many peace sign at the ground guys, but I have to admit I have been doing it less and less lately as people have been real snobs about waving back. I guess it bothers them that my Harley is nicer then theirs, paid off, and I am 20 years younger.

I do always wave a kids and LEOs.

loose dipped peace-sign wave. Wave to virtually everything EXCEPT Dual Purpose Bikes. Wave to anything else though.
What's wrong with DP bikes? I'm sure those guys consider themselves bikers too. Probably much better riders than most of street only crowd.

When I wave, I kinda just stick my hand out like I'm gonna high five the oncoming bikers at 70 MPH [8D]

I give the standard low down wave to just about everything on two wheels. Some respond, some don't. Not my problem if they they are too into being tough guys to catch on that riding is all about getting off the rat race treadmill and feeling free and easy, even if its only for a few miles home from work.

I used to always wave on my sport bike too, just to see if the Harley guys would be cool or not.
