    Yeah, but usually only in very small doses at very infrequent intervals.

    I've had a few kids wave at me when I ride by. I like to wave back. Makes me feel better that there are some friendly people in the world still and No reason to make a little kid start hating the world at a young age :tongue:

    When kids wave I almost always wave back. Gives them a little lift and hopefully makes an impression that motorcycles and riders are cool, and will make them want a bike someday themselves.

    I always wave back at kids. I love kids. The problem is they grow into adults, and then I can't stand them...

    But do you still wave at the kids when their mom who is yapping on her cell phone changes lanes without looking and almost forces you off the road?

    Regards,

    Depends on what she looks like and how low her top is.

    As a female rider, I like to tell kids that anybody can accomplish anything they set their mind to. I'm only 5'6" and 135 lbs. and ride my VFR harder and faster than most. New York Biker

    For a long while there I always got a kid or two waving from their yard, etc. Its the older ones that give you the "pull a wheelie!" gesture that I don't care for. Do they think we are all stunters?

    I go to the races in Europe a bit. When you ride away from Assen after WSB or MotoGP, for example, the streets and bridges are lined with thousands of locals waving at all the bikers, and it's not just the kids!

    not the kid's fault
    plus maybe if they like us, they'll be more considerate drivers in the future

    Love it when this happens!

    Even better when it's more than one kid in the same car!
