Yes, my cows are too staunch to wave. They have often commented on this as we get close to the road gate.

As I am a farmer I can say we always wave. A lot must laugh in their helmets when they see a farmer on a AG 200 wave. Just a habit to wave to every bike I see. Nice to belong I recon.

We went through there this afternoon too - if I had seen you I would have waved my trousers.

And it was a HARLEY!!!!!!!

For some reason I didn't imagine you wearing trousers with your chaps.

I only wore chaps when I was too fat for leather pants. Now I wiggle it baby!

I look at my reflection in shop windows and wave, I always get a wave back.

If I don't get a wave back I will have something to be pissed off about!.

The whole waving thing, yea. Who fucken cares if you do or dont wave?

**Dooly** · 28th August 2006, 08:54

This whole waving thing, well all the threads on here over ages, its always a source of amusement.
I dont ride my bike much atm, but when I see another biker I wave, regardless of what steed they ride. If they dont wave back, life goes on.................

Well,it appears some people toss their toys out of the cot if someone doesn't - like,do they want this Labour Government to make it a law to wave to other riders?

But anyway...I've noticed it's only the sportsbike riders who get upset about not getting waved at,and they heap scorn upon the Harley guys for not waving.I thought it was really funny that no sportsbikes waved at me,but the Harley did.

And for the record for those that missed the point - I don't give a flying fuck if you wave to me or not,and I may wave or not depending on my mood - give it a rest,it's not the end of the world y'know.
