    I wave at non Mohawk wearing riders. Even the Harleys. Sometimes I get a wave back.

    whats wrong with the mohawk? I thought it was a unique way of expressing yourself? (note, i don't wear one, but i thought they looked cool)

    I wave a lot while on the bike. Its either a friendly wave with 4 fingers and a thumb or a not so friendly wave with 1 finger for the pricks that cut you off. Either way though, my hand spends a great deal of time in the air

    I wave at all bikes if possible...even HDs, I get the wave back 70% from the HDs, and 99% from the sport rider, whats interesting though is the odd ball 82% return from Goldwings, and the 2% wave back from scooters (mopeds)...And no I dont wave to make fun I feel they deserve the wave the most..I mean face who wants to be on the roads with cagers today without atleast 250cc speed??

    He wasn't waving... he was saying slow the hell down, LOL.

    I wave at most unless I'm doing something that prevents me from waving. I'd say I get a wave back > 90% of the time, even from the black & chromes.

    Awhile ago there was a poem,
    About some riders waving.

    As time goes by it seems
    The scene is always changing.

    It told (the poem) of scooter wavers,
    Dweebies to a man.

    Of different signs ricerocketeers, make
    Waving if they can.

    And those who chose to never raise,
    A warm or friendly hand.

    It told (the poem) the poet's tale,
    His style of waving: back
    .
    To all who chose to wave at him,
    He always would wave back.

    A small exception there and that was
    If we care to look back.
    Was not to wave at all the dudes.
    At anytime..
    With milk crates on their racks.


    The poet takes license here writing in the spring,
    Besides mea culpa me. I wrote the awful thing.


    Of new wild groups of riders,
    Sub members of the clan.

    Who never choose to lift or wave or raise a friendly hand,
    who don't salute or give a hoot.

    A growling group of tyrants bandits of the road.
    Bedecked in all black cowskin,

    From top to tippy toe.


    Where the dad gummed camera Ma,
    The thunder herds a-comin.
    Race-roaring down the down the slab
    Below the radar's hummin.


    The names may well be different,
    The crankpins are the same.
    The sound is unmistakable
    The dudes all look the same.


    These newbie badass bikers join the long long ride.
    Who are these Iron cowboys,
    Who will not raise a hand?
    Sort of like you N me partner,
    Paying down their loans.

    Cruising down the blacktop,
    Some on Harleyclones.
