    3 fingers straight out from the handlebar, which on the Seca is low left.

    In over 20 years of riding I can count on one hand the number of HD riders that didn't wave back, guess it's because of the rural community around here.

    Rice rockets don't wave around here, unless you can keep up with them.

    I've also been bought a pop/soda/fizzy drink/cola (don't drink when on the bike) at more than one bar when the Harley guys find out I did all the work myself.

    At least the guys on Bimmers usually wear gear. My pops drives a Bimmer and he waves (but he's a friendly sort).

    I wave to everyone, even when I'm riding my lawn tractor!! And they wave back! The guys/gals on the crotch rockets CAN'T wave back!! Their going so fast through town here that if they take a hand off the handlebars they end up in the ditch!!!

    Best ones to wave to? Scooter riders!
    Yep . Because they NEVER expect a biker to wave to them. It makes their day. Which makes me happy.( and yeah, happy I'm not driving one)

    Did my first scooter wave today. Gave him the two fingers down and got it back instantly.

    It really does make you feel good for making their day! :D

    His girlfriend was on the back and she is probably gonna hear about it all night tonight. :lol:

    If I'm not busy, I do greet all bikes, including H-D, police, rockets...
    I think half of them wave back. It seems related to weather. The worse the weather, the more they wave back ;)

    I never wave at scooters or mopeds, it seems to be a "not done", at least I've never seen anyone do it over here.

    While riding Sunday we encountered a HD rider that gave us a big circling "speed er up" type motion. Kinda like a whirlwind arm motion. Made me laugh.

    I normally wave, certainly if I'm waved to. Took a ride from Chicago to Galena one sunny weekend; left arm was worn out from all the Harleys and Goldwings I came across.. -_-

    I take that back, I don't wave to the guys trying to fill roles: the dirty cruiser guys or the squids on sport bikes sans helmet. I doubt either would stop to help if I were on the side of the road.. But I'll wave back if they wave (which they never do).
