If you wave on The Dragon when would you ever be able to put your hand back on the bars? I will be going there in October. Will let you know my experience on this one.

Here in Delaware its kinda hit and miss. When I use to ride it was half and half. Now when I see bikes on the road I hardly ever see them wave to each other. Its like they are all trying to be hard asses.

Down here in Texas I would say that 99% of the cycles wave to each other. Heck in the Western part of the state even the cagers wave to each other. Whats wrong with being friendly?

I like to wave if only because it's one of the last remaining things that the MoCo can't make any money on.

The most waves seem to come from gold wing riders (cuz the electric "wave" button is beside the microwave on their left handlebar!
