    Always, well nearly always. Apart from being in heavy traffic or when my concentration is pretty deep.

    I think it's just part of the riding atmosphere (I think I saw someone else say it), but it's just an acknowledgment of a mutual passion.

    That's why I ride a motorcycle. I can wave at people and quickly speed away!

    back a few years ago seems like everyone on a bike waved or acknowledged each other in some way, then when the Harley thing really took off I noticed that the majority of them didn't wave so now I just ignore them unless they wave first. Some BMW riders can be a bit snooty too...
    Probably just a sign of the times, people seem to not be so friendly generally these days...

    then again, maybe I'm just getting old and cynical...
