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

In the same way that truck drivers indicate to each other as they pass, Is there any sort of standard for signals between bikers?

As I was biking today, I passed a guy on a cruiser going the other direction, he dropped his hand off the throttle and kinda pointed out to his right.

At first I thought it was just a "You're on a bike, I'm on a bike, Nice work!" kinda thing.

But then I thought about it a little more, and as I was following the right-hand tyre tread of the car in front of me, I was relatively close to the centerline. So maybe it was a "Move over!" kind of gesture?

Either way I didnt do anything back, Now im wondering: Is there any standard bike-to-bike wave? or even a KBiker wave?

Only perverts wave.

Have you ever noticed that some riders just don't wave? I wonder if there is common theme? Maybe its just Harley riders, or is sports bike riders that won't wave to scooters?

I wonder if a thread has ever been started on here asking these important questions.

I like to stand up, slap my arse, then make a mexican wave type gesture.

Ignoring the whole waving thread shit storm.... why would you take your THROTTLE hand off? Sure it is the right side of the bike for a wave, but you would be better off just kicking out your right leg if you were doing that sort of waving shit wouldn't you?

I kind of like consistent throttle control myself.

... damn! I am posting on a waving thread LOL ...
