Waving - the neverending saga (multiple threads merged into one)

Ignore everybody

I can't vote as it is a either or poll.
I used to be a waver only but lately I like to mix it up a bit and wave or nod. Never both as there is the risk that the other biker may be Carver or a friend of his and surely a wave combined with a nod would be considered a come-on by him and he may follow me home(o).

I've been trying to do the upwards nod.

I've been watching the training video (Once Were Warriors) over and over, but I just can't get it right.

I think I'm too white...

depends on the situation and what the other person is riding ,also which way the sun is facing , direction of road , sea level , season , etc etc

**howdamnhard** · 25th November 2009, 16:50

I either nod or wave. Depends on the situation and how safe.

Just think Italian, and raise your chin quickly.

I can not believe we have never had a discussion about this before on here.

I wave to all - Harleys included - unless they looked patched...... but if I have no time, then I give the nod - better than no wave or nod at all

I don't even take my hand of the bar if I am doing over 70km I I just open hand up and lift my fingers in the air.

Waived out to a few gang members the other day they did not look very impressed could not tell until they got real close then could see the cut/vest on mind due its seem if your on a sports bike most Harleys riders don't seem to acknowledge you when you wave whether there gang members or not.

Do you just wave? Or do you give the secret KB wave?
