    A bike pulled out from a sideroad about 50m's from me (heading towards me), he was busy turning off his indicator and all, so he lifted his RIGHT LEG off the pegs, I think it meant "hello". .... .... or maybe not?? ...

    Depends on the kind of bike it was. Cruiser he would be waving, sportie would probably just be readjusting his nuts.


    I'll wave, nod, whatever to other bikes and scooters aswell if they don't ride like cagers drive. Here is how you can tell a scooter rider is on it as a step to getting a big bike. Wave to them, if they wave back then they want to upgrade. If not they just on it cause they can't get a car.

    To wave or not to wave

    that is the question!

    Should all of us be waving to every rider? I mean like cruiser riders waving at all sports bikes & vice versa, etc..... :spudwave:

PULL UP! MAX THRUST FEATHERY LEGS! I tell the dogs to chase the third bike....

    Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back

    10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty.
    9. Leather and studs make it too hard to raise arm.
    8. Refuses to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.
    7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
    6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.
    5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.
    4. Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda.
    3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.
    2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet.
    1. They're jealous that after spending $30,000, they still don't own a Gold Wing.

    Top Ten Reasons Why Gold Wing Riders Don't Wave Back

    10. Wasn't sure whether other rider was waving or making an obscene gesture.
    9. Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip.
    8. Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm.
    7. Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him.
    6. The espresso machine just finished.
    5. Was actually asleep when other rider waved.
    4. Was in a three-way conference call with stockbroker and accessories dealer.
    3. Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen.
    2. Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system.
    1. Couldn't find the "auto wave back" button on dashboard.

    Top Ten Reasons Why Dual Sport Riders Don't Wave Back

    10. Vibration of knobby tires prevented the rider from taking his hand off the bars.
    9. MX style safety gear was too bright to see you wave.
    8. His front fender prevents you seeing him wave back.
    7. Was too busy configuring his GPS/Enduro Roll/FishFinder.
    6. His rain/wind/thorn/bug/bird proof thousand-dollar jacket won't allow it.
    5. Was too busy re-arranging his 500 pounds of soft-sided luggage.
    4. Doesn't recognize a wave in any language other than German.
    3. Too busy splitting lanes/filtering through traffic.
    2. One handed wheelies are not easy.
    1. On single-track trails you stop, not wave.

    Top Ten Reasons Why Sport Bike Riders Don't Wave Back

    10. They have not been riding long enough to know they are supposed to.
    9. If they took one hand off the bars they would break their teeth.
    8. They look way too cool with both hands on the bars.
    7. It's hard to put their hand in the air doing 175.
    6. Their skin tight-kevlar-balistic-nylon-goose-leather suits
    prevent any position other than fetal.
    5. One handed stoppies are ill advised.
    4. They are waving, but you can't see it behind the neon green speed screen. 3. They were slipping their flip-flop back on.
    2. Raising an arm allows bugs into the armholes of their tank tops.
    1. They don't know how.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
