If I'm on a 2 lane road, I wave. If I'm on a 4 lane, center divided road I tend not to wave. I like keeping my eyes on what is in front of me. If I'm slowing down to stop or otherwise using my left hand I'll nod my head.

Today I was in the car, in town about 30 mph, and a few cars behind a guy on his bike. He waved at an Ultra going the opposite direction. The Ultra waved back. I see this guy once in awhile on his Ultra, and I don't know who he is, but he always waves. He didn't wave to me today. What about this brotherhood of bikers? I'm a biker. I was just in the car, and not on the bike. What's up with that? Not a brother unless I'm on 2 wheels?

I'm a new Harley owner and today was the first warm sunny day of the 2013 season so I had to get my bike out. Because I learned a long time ago that most cycle accidents occur because the cars don't see us, I wear neon jacket and helmet. Today I noticed that a few Harley riders didn't wave but all the non Harley riders did. I wondered if my attire was the issue. I wondered if Harley riders just assume that if you don't wear black that you can't be riding a Harley. Harley riders from my experience tend to not acknowledge non Harley riders.
