HA! My husband has a BMW, but he says it's the midwest, so everybody waves.

I read a really interesting article about waving on the moto - something to the effect of how Europeans never wave because they are focused on safe riding and think you should put all your attention to riding instead of waving.
I wave when I am on the Ducati, most of the time. Not when I need that hand for the clutch or whatever. And I haven't noticed any difference in sport bikes v. cruisers waving or not. I had a guy on a bicycle give me a wave when I was on the moto this weekend, which was funny.Sarah

Oh, the moto forums will go on and on and on about it. That never happens on bici forums. Whoops.
At least we don't have engine oil, and seem to be able to restrain ourselves on chain lube, most of the time.
To wave or not to wave, yeah. Exactly how someone's hand or fingers come off different types of handlebars to wave, been discussed to death. Different wave for Hondas and Yamahas?

Well, and on the Ducati it is tricky because you have to keep your pinkie finger up as if sipping a cappuccino....

I have yet to see someone wave from ape hangers. I would like to see that.

I just HATE those things. They are NOT legal, and I wish people would be ticketed/pushed off the bike.

I noticed that two finger "wave" thing between Gold Wing riders when we were in Big Sur and thought it was the coolest! I was really excited to get a huge *** cruiser motorcycle when I got older so I could do that too! hehe
I am currently so obsessed with cycling that I want to wave to people on their bikes when I am driving
Has anyone else here worked retail? I think all the conditioning to greet people (customers) makes it so I smile or nod at everyone I see on the trail. Not one of my most favorite characteristics about myself :PI'm not so lean and mean, but I am large and in charge!
