Do you acknowledge/wave at other bike riders?

I used to nod, but I got sick of reading all the wah wah no one waves to me threads. So now I just ignore yahs. It's much more fun...lol

There was this one time, I was learning waving at band camp ...

refuse to wave at mopeds and the bigger lookalikes.

This thread is like herpes; it gets started innocently enough and comes back to haunt you much later when having fun...

in my experience, as a learner you dont get acknowledged by many at all. i find a lot of the old school bikers will 9 times out of 10 nod my ways if im on my gn250 but no-one else seems to acknowledge me at all except for the scooter patrol when im on the rally travelling through town or where ever i may be.

i think its kinda harsh

but at the end of the day i ride because i love it not because i want to be acknoweledged for it. im not fussed what other people think as long as im enjoying the ride

No one in Aussie seems to do it either yet very friendly when you pull up at a cafe and riders are there.

Veerrry interesting - I am the recipient of few waves,particularly from sports bike riders.But this morning I was getting waves and nods from every bike that went past! So what did I do differently? - I wasn't on my usual dirt type bike,but on a road bike....not what you would call a sports bike,but it has lowish bars and a small sports/bikini fairing.I still don't know why sports bikes don't wave at me on a dirt bike (and of course they all insist they wave at all bikes),but this is a sure confirmation to me.

I wave on open road mainly.

Harley riders I don't wanna see them fall off from letting go of the ape hangers to wave

Yer, when I get a set of ape-hangers I'll see if it's still worth waving to other riders.

In the meantime I will carry on waving (with the 'speshul KB wiave').

normally pick a Harley rider from a sports rider a mile off,even in the dark,headlights give it away,but find HD riders will NOT acknowledge Jappas.Iv'e been on bikes for 20 years plus but it still hasn't changed.I'd bet alot of them Harley riders and dreaded Jappa pilots would be awesome to have a beer with.After all,were both on 2 wheels aye!

Twas fabulous!
