Top reasons why bikers don't wave back...

[kevfromcoro]

Strange concept...when i was riding my BMW eveyone waved..
then i rode the missus scooter for a while..well no body waved.....who would
now i have a honda 600 r..and only half the people wave..
does this mean bigest is best... i hope not

And then, there was this one time at band camp...

Jeez Justin, I did NOT have my flute at camp......not even my clarinet, ummm it was my saxophone.....

I wave to most people just cos i think it's kinda nice that complete strangers can acknowledge each other in a way that "other" motorists don't. Usually I get a wave back but don't get my knickers in a knot if I don't. I'm sure there have been times when, for various reasons, I've not waved back e.g. eyes not on another rider at the actual moment of wave; so I assume there are many times when someone else might not see my wave to them. Alternatively they might just not consider it important or maybe I'm just beneath their notice

A Freudian slip? Or hitting the wrong note are we there? I guess I shouldn't harp on about it, since its a vicious love triangle you must have got involved in at band camp.

I always knew you marched to the beat of a different drum, but trying to pull the woodwind over people's eyes ain't gonna help!

So I hope you didn't get into any hijinks with the bagpiper and definitely not with a trombone player, always pulling it in and out and then draining the plug when you least expect it!

Then I guess you end up with a clash as its a cymbal of your daring escapade at such a tentative age, experimenting with glockenspiels and comparing them with each other, next you know its all on with organs and you zither here and there wondering whether you want to pluck or strum!

Anyway, I've conducted enough innuendo and entendres in this, so I guess I better make a clean sheet of it and not stacatto on so much, after all, I'm fortissimo about some things, but like a mouse, pianissimo by my absence!

haha

I try and wave most of the time.

the best I've had was from a mongrel mob member, who happend to be one of the biggest people I've ever seen gave me a masive wave peace sign as he went past.

Yea reminds me of thet "Killer Bee" guy we saw on welsford caltex with the flashy harley. Such a cool dude to talk to ay. I wave at anyone, harleys, sports, beemers, even scooter , and espessially the ones with a girl on them. Even do a U turn and go for a chat at traffic lights. Thats what you call going beyond the line of duty

Wave ppl, its nice

TOTO over and out.

You must look like a real dork waving to bikes from your bmx.

[ynot slow]

Wave most times,the odd time someone waves and I miss it,maybe watching kids with a ball on roadside or so.If I wave and don't get reply who cares,they may be concentrating and miss it,no biggie.

[EJK]

I try to wave at everybody. I also sometimes wave to a kid/youngster behind their parents car. Sometimes they wave back It really makes my day.

I always wave if they don't wave back i flip them the bird.

Ehh?? When was this........ last year?

[Number One]

I'm a serial waver...though will pop a head nod in when I don't expect to get a response.

Seem to get way more response now I on a big bike - many big bikes won't wave at 250's...snobby sad bastards

I also like to wave at little kids, only when they waving at me or watching me though - you can tell they get a real kick out of being acknowledge (especially by a bad ass biker like me )

I also like to have hitchikers on...slowing down just slightly and patting the back seat in an invitationary (is that a word - meh who cares you get what I mean) manner. I have had one do the thumbsup and seem keen but alas alack - no spare helmet, how sad.

[Coldrider]

I don't wave because I am a snob.
