RE: To wave or not wave......?
I'll wave back to anyone who waves,large group of riders coming by...... I keep the wave going till they pass. nice thing about my wave is it can return a one finger wave promptly because my hands up already 
I dont lose sleep over the wave,i'm out enjoying my ride,dont always start the wave depending on road conditions and such,but will "always" return the wave if i see it in time.

RE: To wave or not wave......?
Always wave to all bikers of any sort.
We're a brotherhood of bikers , (the Harley brotherhood may be a little stronger),so we all have to stick together and help others.
If I'm at a light (both hands busy) I'll wait till they're looking and give them a nod.
I would say over 98% of bikers reciprocate , and almost all crotch rocket guys seem surprised,then wave back like nobody
ever waved to them before.
I figure those who ignore others,probably don't have any friends anyway.........

RE: To wave or not wave......?
I learned a lesson about waving while driving in downtown Franklin, TN just the other day. I waved at an on-coming bike with my left arm outstreached. What I didn't pay attention to was that I was about to go through a green light on a single lane road when I waved. The next thing I knew, the minivan which used to be behind me was passing on my right side (I was in the middle of the lane) and there was almost a collision with the parked cars on the right side of the road. I quickly hit the brakes and let her get far in front of me.
My best guess is that she thought I was turning left and took the liberty of trying to pass on my right side. I took it as a lesson learned; to be careful when waving before an intersection with someone tailing to close behind.
Safe riding all.
