    I wave at almost everyone. Squids have to wave first (most don't), everyone else seems to be in the same groove as me. I don't wave to people riding in shorts and flipflops tho, don't want to be part of their crash.

    I wave at everyone; usually with two fingers, sometimes less.

    To the side and way down low is the way a biker says hello...
    heard that on this site one time...not stealing just repeating. Thought it was pretty cool.

    Yea...I'm a waver, we are all in this together ...

    He lives local to me and works for the council emptying the bins (trash?), his truck or one of his colleagues backed a trash truck into the extractor fan at my favourite chip shop & broke it, the oil caught fire as a result and the shop only just reopened :D (that's how I know what happened, talking to the guy that runs the shop)

    Why should it depend on the bike? Aren't we all in this game together? :?

    At the risk of hi-jacking this thread, was it a council bin truck that caused the damage or a private contractor?
    If the truck was collecting rubbish from the chippy then it would have been a private contractor becuase the council sold off all the trade waste to the highest bidder a few years ago.
    If it was a council truck parking up to go and buy some chips then it wasn't me, i take my own lunch to work.
    And anyway, in keeping with binman tradition, i don't give a fook :lol: :lol:

    If it's a like bike, then maybe a fist-pump. If it's a madass scooter, maybe a devil's horns. Others : regular biker hello. That's the way I read it.

    Great responses guys! Lots of friendly riders on here! Funny how it seems to be a recurring thing about Harley snobs no matter where you are. Living in a town with a Harley plant that employs a couple thousand, hog riders really outnumber the rest. I find about 65% of them are friendly and wave. I guess the other 35% think they're "too cool" to wave to someone on a jap bike. Doesn't stop me from waving to them tho. That just proves they're not too cool...they're just being an a$$hole!

    Midnight Moose,
    I live in a Harley factory town also. They ( just like us, I guess) have some 'brandism' and feel that if it ain't HD it ain't poop. . .

    Like others I usually don't bother waving to the riders in shorts and bandanas regardless of their ride. On the other hand anyone I see on the mornings that are below 40 degrees and everyone that is wearing appropriate gear - always get a two fingers down wave.

    We are all in this together, no one is better than the other and anything with 4+ wheels is trying to kill us. 8O

    Whenever someone says that I agree as vehemently as I can. I also laugh on the inside while remembering what Mrs. Topp taught me about double negatives. :lol:

    I wave at them all, about half the "tough" Harley guys wont do it back, but oh well. I guess if I dont wave I'm no better than them. Did give a special "wave" to a car last year, some on-coming idiot decided to pass a bunch of cars and go head on with me on a strait stretch of highway...now that was so far my scariest riding moment. Couldnt believe it, the idiot was on a cell phone of course :roll:
