How do you wave?
Just for fun...pardon the frivolous post, but...
What style "wave" do you use when passing fellow riders?
I passed a guy today who jammed his hand up in the air (no, he was not signaling in a group ride) and confused the p**s out of the cager behind him...they thought he was signaling a right, ya know...aaanyway...
For me, it's down and asorta loose peace sign...can't be confused as a signal. In traffic...just a nod or left hand flip-up with palm on the grip.
I throw a wave out for anybody motorized on 2 wheels...yeah...even the little old lady I saw today putting along backing-up traffic on the Post Road in Old Saybrook, CT. She looked at me like I wanted her recipe for chicken pot pie...which I do.

RE: How do you wave?
Ha! No doubt...I do tend to catch a few ricers by surprise...a Harley waving a non-Harley (Stop the MADNESS!)...though these days all of the Honda-Dadison's make it a tough catch on occasion...certainly at speed.

RE: How do you wave?
I usualy go the index finger kinda pointed at ya off the grip but above the bars. Unless I'm leavin a stop in which case I just nod 'cause I'm clutching my way through the gears. Never did understand how it's comfortable to low wave or low peace sign. Mabye when I had my Softail.
