If you were a skinny Mexican, would you give a light wave or a Mexican wave?

No. You "were finding new and exciting roads to ride".

"Auto-delete" would be easier...

Great fun, aren't they!
Pootling along with arms folded, then lifting the right hand, is a total mind-fuck to most of them...

The permanent wave - now that's the best one!!

I had a Suzuki TS185 in 1978 and a mate got up that monster on it. Yes, we all had a ball trail riding around the forestry tracks on hot summer afternoons. I have said a number of times on the site that I believe it taught us good riding skills, or at least learning how to use your bike and engine for maximum effect.

One thing I tend to forget about Northland is the bugs up here. Half the time I was 'waving' I was really just trying to clean my visor of bug splat. Not sure if some of the Southern riders are aware of what a bumblebee does to your visor at road speed and it makes quite an impact on your concentration too.

Ahem, that might be a noob question, but what's a wave?

Mmmm .... I'm going to be generous, before the brown stuff arrives .... check the start of the thread .... it's about friendly acknowledgment to fellow bikers as you pass them on the road.

Today I was crossing the zebra crossing, there a biker stopped for me so I gave a nod and nod me back.

No need to be on a bike to give and recieve waves/signs/nods/finger/etc
