Usually the "wave" depends on what part of the year I am out riding,early spring everyone waves(cept the Goldwing operators;),then about June it starts to tail off,unless of course its on Sunday,then most are all smiles n waves..by the end of summer,basically just get a nod.By late fall your lucky to get a nod if any & waves are so passe,then winter comes n the whole cycle starts all over again
tho just for kicks I often wave n figure TAG ur it,especially when I see the sport bike riders ..lol..they are like wtf?? did that old cruiser guy just wave at me???
I ride a goldwing and i wave or nod if I can't take my hand or the handlebars and every winger I know waves or makes some kind of sign even to Harley riders most of them wave or nod back. The niga bikes are surprized most of the time and some even wave or nod.
