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

Moped (50cc) riders don't wave....


Do they?

Sooo what are feelings about acknowledging scooter riders? Is there a cutoff point? I like to wave to other bikers...even if almost [but not all] Harley riders ignore me....but I feel like a right prat waving at some scooter, with a jandal wearing youf. So I dont....does that make me an elitist snob or just an arse?!

[HornetBoy]

Only do the "I'm a little teapot" wave when you are stationary at the lights! .

Is that some kind of remark about my katana ... ,i get the teapot remark alot now ..

[007XX]

I always wave....then give them the birdie if they didn't wave back! A bit like this (been dying to use this icon in context).

They don't see it, but it makes me feel better

Oh and yeah, welcome to you. Hope you have lots of fun around here

im the same,scooter riders ,ride for the sake of petrol costs whereas most bikers ride because they love it no matter the costs ,the bigger the bike the more responses you get in my experience .

I use to wave to everyone.

then cruisers stopped waving back (primarily the harley riders) so i stopped bothering, if one waves to me ill wave back.

now i just wave to sports bikes, and cops.

I confess - it was me.

If ever you're out riding, and a nutter on a blue VFR waves at you, and you don't wave back, and subsequently crash, it's me wotdunnit.

If I'm in a mood, and the wavee doesn't wave back, then they get a "Well fukya then!".

lol yea i kinda get a weird feeling like they just dissed my mom when people dont wave back to me when ive waved at them

Sometimes I wave. Sometimes I don't.
I haven't done a detailed statistical analysis, but I really haven't noticed any trend with the types of people who wave, and those who don't. Sometimes people wave. Sometimes they don't.
I guess since the major rule is that all sports bike riders won't wave at cruisers, and all cruiser rides won't wave at sports bikes, no-one has any clear waving guidelines to follow when they see my wee traillie, so I get a random distribution of waves.

[EJK]

Beemer or Honda cops wave back

ehem! no.... I ain't gay....

Opposite to you, sometime I accidentally forgot to wave lol
Then i say to myself "Oooh! Im sorry! so sorry!"

Do you guys feel the same way Mr/ Mrs. I-didn't-wave?? lol

yea myself ,when i see a trail bike i dont tend to wave as i see them as their own group like crusiers but if they wave at me ill return it

[dogsnbikes]

I always give a wave or a nod.....most return the gesture for those that don't thats their problem not mine
