Not saying thanks

[CB ARGH]

I wave at almost anything. Except Harleys, because they never wave back, they're too cool for waving

I do a hand gesture to those who let me in or let me pass, after all they didn't have to let me through.

It ain't hard!

Jesus christ! Boohoo, someone didn't wave at me. Fuck there are bigger worries then someone not waving at you politely.

One should do things for others with no expectation of recognition or reward.

My mother in law gives presents and expects an instant phone call to say a thousand thank yous. She has been known to revoke presents because the "thank you" didn't sound grateful enough.

TBPH, I hate getting gifts from her, the hassle is worth so much more grief than the value of the present.

If you must expect some kind of thanks for being a corteuous road user then you may as well just continue to be a rude prick.
Get over yourselves.

there wasnt flames shooting out your pipes or somthing???

OK...what about TYPES of waves? I was left wondering WTF was up ahead when the 'wave' a rider gave me..was the type of wave you give your toddler when you drop them off at kindy? The full-blown fan wave! I didnt spot anything ahead and was left wondering.

Types of waves and what they mean...please.

Guess I shoulda did a search but pfft while were rehashing..why not?

Never? Generalisations again..that would be like me saying you must be a long haired black jeaned bogun cos you are from West Auckland without ever meeting you...maybe better to say that some motorcyclists dont wave regardless of what they ride..juts as some Harley riders dont wave, neither do some BMW or Honda or Suzuki riders wave......

Can we please get over the whole waving thing and have a new year's resolution..no more waving threads and no more boohoo waaaaaaaaa he/she didnt wave to me...

Wave if you want, dont if you dont...

Coyote once said something like "most steriotypes are steriotypes because they are true"... People didn't just wake up one morning and say "hey lets make up a rumour of harley riders never waving!"

I don't know about if he/she "should" do it, but, yeah, why not?

Fuckin' oath. Lets restrict our miserable grumpy fuck moments for when we're logged onto KB.

It's hard to be sure, but the meaning you have taken from my post seems to be the opposite of what I intended.

Why would you think that?

I thought it was fairly obvious that I was agreeing with your idea that there's no reason not to extend gratitude to others on the road if their actions have warranted it.

Right oh then. Have a safe, satisfying and light-hearted Xmas.

Skim read the thread and OMG waving again????

I'm waving good bye to this thread and looking for something more interesting or that has not been done to death.

OMG did I say I was waving (someone shoot me)

[beyond]

I'm appalled at the lack of return courtesy when I wave.

Firstly I ride a naked bike which has a round headlight and you know what that means.... sporties think I'm on a cruiser so won't wave.... cruisers know I'm not a cruiser so won't wave and now.... well, I'm paranoid about going out for a ride. I think I need some deep regression theory counselling

Hell, I had a scooter wave at me the other day....what's with that???

I mean, hell, I wave going around corners and nearly fall off so I can give someone a wave, I wave when I wheelie and nearly slip off the seat or go into a tank slapper when I land cos the front is all crossed up. I try so hard to wave back to fellow bikers or initiate a wave that I have nearly died over and over again. I concentrate so hard on getting the wave just right I lose concentration on my riding with disastrous results.

Then when I don't get a wave back I'm filled with remorse and then sometimes even get angry and then I do real dumb things on my bike.

Last weekend I went for a quick spin and hardly got a wave back from anyone and spent the rest of the day drinking myself into a deep depression that I'm only just getting out of now.

Moral of the story... buy a naked bike and you'll be one lonely bugger.

What the fuck is everyone wanking on about motorcyclists waving (or not waving) to other motorcyclists for?

I thought this thread was about attempting to engender some degree of good will between motorcyclists and car drivers.
