If the S3 did a bit of dirt and was better for tall buggers I would.

why dont the cruiser guys wave back ?.... maybe cos if they let go of the handlebars they will vibrate off the bike ... or in Harley case they might void the warranty .... or just didnt know if the other bike was waving or giving an obscene gesture
............... oops hang on ....... I ride a cruiser :P
But seriously ...... I always wave unless in in dreamland .... and stop even in my cage if I see a bike looking like hes in trouble..... dam ... I thought that was normal LOL

Yep, hear ya.

I'm lucky to have a number 1 & 2 bike..........just can't figure out which is which.
Best keep riding them to get the answer.

Yeap, when I first started riding I didn't even know about the "waving" thing until one day people started waving. Over time I've noticed that generally the only people who wave to me are people on cruisers, and generally cruisers that are similar in size (people on giant mo' fo choppers and such never wave to me)

Imagine riding a bike, wanking and waving...all at the same time!

Hmmm...just going to pop out for a minute. Back soon!

Done! Haven't even got to the tip of the iceberg merging all past waving threads into this one!

From my reading of the previous 640-something posts I think we are all in agreement on the wave thing;
We need a wave that says several things at once; "Hello fellow biker, I am a KiwiBiker, I am not actually drowning".

What's it worth not to start another one!

Any ideas?

Bloody toss-pot, what a stupid idea.

I reckon when Finn takes over he should post us all a large KB logo sticker about 300mm X 120mm that we can stick over our visors so's approaching riders can recognise we're KBers.

Simple. (and safer than waving)

I think I'll stick to the more modest standard-sized KB sticker on the front fender, if you don't mind....
