Well I would wave at TC's TD's and fellow TF's, but I only NODDED at A's and snooted B'sHell, I wave at anyone on two wheels unless I don't see them. It was the same in 1961 when I got my MGA, all sports car drivers waved at each other back then.
Well... I've also noticed that many Goldwing riders don't wave either.to the author..., who peed in your oatmeal? You get up on the wrong side of the bed today? That was funny!
I have noticed that a very high percentage of the harley riders WONT wave. My reaction is "bite me".
In theory, anyways, we should all be a brotherhood. We all should be together, even if we are apart, ya know?
Same here. Especially in group rides.I have found here in Texas that more Harley riders wave back than do Goldwing riders. Makes ya wonder..

Funny, I have been a Winger since 1980 on and off, and I have never noticed a Jeep driver wave at me.:baffled::goofygrin::goofygrin:Oh, there was this one lass, blonde hair blue eyes.......Hi,
Jeep wrangler owners also wave. :waving:

That made me laugh, I have a vision of the poor new Wing rider, just got his first bike, doesn't know about the waving thing, he's sitting there, probably watching for ladieees. All of a sudden some greasey biker swans by and waves at him!! Bemused, he probably thought, " I wonder if he's gay and is fancying me?" Next second he is getting the one didgit wave and he is now thinking, "Ok, just 'cause I have a newer wing, that gay rider is jelous, well $%^&* him too!!"I enjoyed that piece, Axelwik!
I've ranted about this subject before but just have to add a bit: Around here in mid western Illinois, 95% of the Harleys wave or wave back. 25% of the guys riding the newest 'Wings will. I wonder if they're afraid to let go of the handlebar. I was riding down a main street here in town just the other day and saw a guy sitting on his new wing, stopped,leaned back on the back restat a gas station. He looked right at me. I waved. He didn't even smile, just barely a nod. So, I reduced the amount of wind resistance on my waving hand to just one digit and motored on:321:. P***ed me off. Oh well, I know it shouldn't bother me but come on, like is said, we're supposed to be a family of sorts and I don't care what you ride. If you need help, I'll do what I can to make your situation better.
That's all. Hobie done.

The Joy of Motorcycle Riding

Except when I pass Harley guys. I hate Harley guys. Hate, hate, hate. When they pass me on the highway, you know what I do? I don't wave. With their little tassel handlebars and the studded luggage and the half helmets - God, they drive me crazy.
To me, motorcycling is like a family, a close knit brotherhood of people who ride Hondas, wear jeans and a leather jacket (not Vanson) with regular gloves and a solid color helmet with a clear visor, no stickers, no racing gloves and regular boots (not Timberlands). And isn't that what really makes riding so special. *![]()
has always worked for me... and I am sure not going to get my kilt in a bunch if someone else chooses to not wave backI just wave at everyone!!:waving::waving::waving:
