Biker Wave Protocol

Me too. My thoughts exactly. I even wave a bicycle riders because we share the same principles and the same dangers.

 

I'll generally give the cruiser/HD riders the opportunity to wave first, then reciprocate. I hate being snubbed. Scooters don't get a wave. They aren't riders by choice, but misfortunates who had to sell their car after getting a DUI or something and are now holding up traffic while running errands (the main exception being students around college campuses). I've mistaken a few scooters for motorcycles in the past and never got a wave in return.

 

I think you have issues. I have a friend who specialized in helping people like you. She can give you mind calming chemicals to sooth your ways.

That was Priceless Mofo.

 

This is the obvious solution for the shiftless.

 

Got caught out waving at a scooter, from a distance the head lights look like a 6 gen....sorry not a REAL motorcyclist. ..

 

I waved to a lady on a Honda CT90 as I passed. She had it WFO and was cruising at 45mph.

 

Wide f'ing open..had to look that one up...bet she was wearing shorts

 

You know what? I am done with waving. Yeah, I see ya, and I know you're on a "whatever it is" bike. Good for you, good for me. I'll give ya a nod or a peace sign from the clutch but that's it. Except Kids, what with their faces mashed to the window, they always get a wave because that was me once.

 

yeah I do that too. Usually reserve it for the folks who put way too much effort into the wave. The ones who are left arm stretching beforehand, they see you coming and they shoot that arm out there like an auxiliary kickstand. Elbow locked 45 degrees down peace sign, textbook cruiserface. a half-assed response seems appropriate.

 

Caged eyeballs on a GPS, maps, all that Bluetooth stuff, cells, CD players, CB rigs, karaoke players and which gear and mpg reminders ect., may be gay too. Watching Oprah re-runs is not!

I give thumbs up to women on scooters n thumbs down to blokes on scooters but in general nod to sports bikes

<font color="black">I love motorcycles, and I love riding. Like many of you, what first drew me to bikes was not just the experience of riding, but the feeling that I'd become part of a special community? A brotherhood, really. Nothing calms me more than a long ride down the interstate, waving to the members of my beloved clan. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">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. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">You know who else I hate? BMW guys. Oh, I do hate those guys. I don't wave at them, either. They think they're so great, sitting all upright, with their 180-degree German engines. God, I hate them. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">They're almost as bad as those old bastards on their touring motorcycles. You know what I call those bikes? &quot;Two-wheeled couches!&quot; Get it? Because they're so big. They drive around like they've got all day. Appreciate the scenery somewhere else, Grandpa, and while you're at it, I'm not waving to you. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">Ducati guys? I don't wave at them either. Why don't they spend a little more money on their bikes? &quot;You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's red.&quot; Aren't you cool! Like they even know what a desmo-whatever engine is, anyway. Try finding the battery, you Italian-wannabe racers! I never, ever wave at those guys. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">Suzuki guys aren't much better, which is why I never wave at them, either. They always have those stupid helmets sitting on top of their stupid heads, and God forbid they should wear any safety gear. They make me so mad. Sometimes they'll speed by and look over at me and you know what I do? I don't wave. I just keep on going. Please, don't get me started on Kawasaki guys. Ninjas? What are you, twelve years old? Team Green my ass. I never wave at Kawasaki guys. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">Those Honda guys are enough to make me sick. They have one called a “Dream” yea right. Well, they’re not getting a wave from me, Dream on that. Or the Goldwing. I have yet to see one made out of gold, and most of those riders are too old to wave back anyway, so no wave from me. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">Those guys on ‘crotch rockets’ just scare me. I’m afraid if I wave at one, they might try to wave back, loose control, and involve me in some type of accident. Nope, not waving at those things. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">What is up with a motorcycle with a side car? That's just silly. A motorcycle is meant to have TWO wheels, passengers sit behind the operator, not off in their own little world. Well, you can take it from me, they’re not getting from me when I pass. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">And TRAILERS on motorcycle. I know God didn’t intend for motorcycles to haul trailers around so they’re not getting a wave from me. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">I ride a Honda, and I'll only wave at Honda guys, but even then, I'll never wave at a guy in full leathers. Never, never, never. Yeah, like you're going to get your knee down on the 405 parking lot.</font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">And another thing. What is up with guys on blue motorcycles. They think they are so cool. Well, they’re not getting a wave from me I’ll tell you. Hate guys on Blue motorcycles. Hate, Hate, Hate. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">That goes for those bright yellow motorcycles as well. What, they don’t think we pay them enough attention so they have to paint their bikes that bright color to stand out. Well you know what, I make a point of not waving to them either. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">And Green bikes. Who in their right mind would paint a motorcycle Green. Well, I’m not waving at crazy people I tell you. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">Guys in full leathers will never get a wave from me, and by the way, neither will the guys in two-piece leathers. And I'll tell you who else I'm not waving at those guys with the helmets with the loud paintjobs. Four pounds of paint on a two pound helmet? Like I'm going to wave back to that! I'll also never wave at someone with a mirrored visor, helmet stickers</font><font color="black">, </font><font color="black">racing gloves</font><font color="black">, and hiking boots. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">Yeah, I don't wave at Yamahas either. </font><br />
<br />
<font color="black">*On a serious note, I do wave to anyone as long as I feel is safe to do so.</font><br />
<font color="black">*re-post.</font>
I never laughed so hard at 7:30 in the am Mofo...Very good points tho..... almost spit up my coffee

Oh maybe...but it still was a knee slapper

 

Yeah it was.

 

Norcalboy props to you then
