Default Friendly rider wave

I recently rode a 2,000 mile road trip that included the tail of the dragon. Here in Florida we are able to ride year round and I am used to the occasional wave. Now, I am all for a friendly rider wave, but who the hell waves on the tail of the dragon? LOL. Yes, someone waved to me on the dragon. I thought it was funny. If I lived in that area I would need a waving arm sewn onto my jacket because everyone waved. I guess you can't help but be overwhelmingly happy from riding roads like that.

Most people wave around here unless you're on the interstate, and then a lot still do.

The wave is an old tradition, used to think that HD owners didn't wave because if they took their hand off the bars they would crash. not a bid deal if you don't wave back almost all of the sport bikes give a low wave back.

Yes it is. Older than sport bikes. Older than jap bikes in America. Used to be Harley guy didn't wave to any jap guys. Now were all so happy and cuddly.

I never wave first. I only wave back. And if everyone did this. Well. You see my point.

To me its 50/50.......I find that almost never get the wave from BMW bikes. I could care a less what other people ride to be honest. The way I see it....wave because it could be the last time you see these people alive!!!!!!!!
