Now that's my kind of waving! I like waving to all the neighborhood wives too. You can almost see the husbands asking, Now, how do you know him?!?

To me, a wave is acknowlegement there are two types of people: those that ride and those who don't.

I think Havasu (AZ) has more Harley riders, per capita, then any place on earth! I ride one handed most of the time because ALL HD riders here wave (hand down low so we look cool), but the metric riders look at you like you’re a freak.

I wave (really just stick arm out below the handlebars) at everyone on any type of bike. Metric, cruiser, Hd, whatever, all races, just a way of saying HELLO.

No big deal. It is funny to see some people who think they are too badass and hard core to wave at anyone. Pussies.
