    Waving to cops

    Does anyone else here do it?

    Not trying to be a smart ass or nothing but today was riding along. Saw a cop ahead. Slowed down a tad and gave him a friendly wave. Was pleasantly surprised when he waved back at me. Tried again with the next plod I saw but no luck.
    If you live in our around Auckland come play TAG-O-RAMA with us!

    I wave to everybody

    I received a friendly wave from a bikey cop, once. Reckon it was a wave and not a " pull over" gesture as he didn't give chase.

    Yup,
    If I'm out on the bike and see one on another bike, or in the street, then I will give them a wave.

    After all they are just out doing their job, on what might not be such a great day.

    The thing is if I see a Police car coming toward me, then I have a survival reaction to slow down, even though I'm most likely going under the posted speed limit....
    Nope, sorry, as a rule, I don't wave at any cars, unless they have bikes on the trailer.....

    The cops must love your Mr Whippy van. They'd be rude if they didn't wave back.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I wave to all bikes. If for no other reason than that i can't be arsed trying to figure out "should I wave to that one - oh, what about that one, um how about ...". Two wheels, under power , wave. So that includes bikie cops. On occasion, they wave back.

    So many scooters and bikes here I only wave to the expats on ones as well as anyone on a big bike (500CC+ bikes here have a bright red license plate).

    I only bikes I don't wave to is cruisers. They don't seem to like us sports bike riders.

    If you are referring to cops on bikes............ yip, I wave to them. After all, they are a biker (job or not!), but a patrol car? You gotta be kidding! I'm sure they'd think I'd be up to no good - which i probably would be i.e slowing down in a hurry
