Soldiers salute, those who ride, generally wave, its tradition, its camaraderie!

I never wave, I think it's stupid. You don't know me, we are not friends so why are you waving at me. When you are in your car or truck you have no problem cutting me off then flipping me off but since we're both on bikes we are brothers now... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

You're waving at the '*** holes' that will stop and help when your bike is broken on the side of the road. Make sure you give them the same attitude then Brother...

Heading west, out of Las Vegas (Red Rock canyon area) there are always a ton of cyclists (bicycle riders) on the road.

I wave to them for fun. It's hilarious. They never wave back. They probably think I'm being a smartass. lol. I kind of am, but at the same time, I'm genuinely being nice.

And if you're one of those cool guys who puts two fingers down by the horn, I may one-up you, smash my face on the tank and drag my fingers on the ground.
Thanks for the morning laugh!!

When i started riding all the guys i rode with waved when passing other bikes so i picked it up from them. All the guys i teach to ride now watch me and wave when we pass other bikes. Living near military bases for the last 19 years i can say that every one on and near post wave when passing. The ones that don't wave are the same ones sitting in the bar by them selves trying to look cool. Its kind of like gremlin bells and chaps, some know what and why, some just look and say that is dumb. I wave out of respect and pride.

Everybody in the Carolinas wave, except for the occasional guy that is pissed cause his old lady is bitchin in his ear.
Before I bought a Harley there is a guy at work that told me the only way I could learn the Harley wave was to buy a bike and the CD comes with it. When I bought mine recently, jokingly I told him they must have forgotten to give me mine.
