KarlS Posted May 30, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2012 Right-handed (ha, ha, I have cruise control) wave. Now that is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Myers Posted May 30, 2012 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2012 If I am shooting video with my handheld and I meet a bike I wave with the right hand. Is that so strange? Maybe someday I can buy a Drift cam like Snaggle has and I won't need both hands to operate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMidnight Posted May 30, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 30, 2012 I do either the low, or the peace sign heh... depends on my speed too. Whatever I feel comfortable doing without losing my arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOO Posted May 30, 2012 Share #8 Posted May 30, 2012 I'm not to much into waving but I will return the wave if someone waves. I'm also not into all them different waves. Usually I won't take my left hand off the handlebar and kind of wave a modified peace sign wave. It's not that I am opposed to taking my hand off the handlebars, I'm just lazy. I remember around the local area in the early 70's we use to raise our left fist in the air kind of like the black power sign at the time. Must have been a local thing though.

bongobobny Posted May 30, 2012 Share #9 Posted May 30, 2012 It's also quite an interesting study to see who does and who does NOT wave!! The non-wavers typically ride one particular brand of motorcycle, but not everyone that rides that make are non-wavers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesboy Posted May 30, 2012 Share #10 Posted May 30, 2012 I see where Cal-Osha, in order to keep two hands on the bars at all times, is requiring all riders to wave with their left foot here on the left coast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aharbi Posted May 31, 2012 Share #11 Posted May 31, 2012 How about the head nod. I use it often when my hands are busy or I see a cage driver wave his hand from the steering wheel and don't have time to wave my hand. Heck here in Texas (not counting Dallas/FW, Houston, San Antonio) we wave at everybody, you don't have to be on a bike. I've had farmers wave from their tractors off in a field at me.

MikeWa Posted May 31, 2012 Share #12 Posted May 31, 2012 That waving hand from the steering wheel is a Texas thing. If you see it here in the Northwest you better just pucker up. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a local thing though. BOO Not so! I too remember this wave from the 70's in my area. I still do it occasionally just for s#### and giggles. I've been waiting for someone to do it back at me and it hasn't happened yet. If so, I'll at least know the other biker is a old fart like me.

Shorty Posted May 31, 2012 Share #14 Posted May 31, 2012 I've was asked by a buddy why I never waved, I said I do. When someone waves at me I seldom take my left hand off the steering but I put up 4 fingers and when I do the lower left hand stuck out thing at the official 45 degree angle I again hol out 4 fingers. 4 fingers.... the sign of a V4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted May 31, 2012 Share #16 Posted May 31, 2012 I waved at a scooter once... I was so disgraced that I sold my Venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwrmcusn Posted May 31, 2012 Share #17 Posted May 31, 2012 I'm a "3" and/or a "4" waver. I also wave at pretty much anything on two wheels and I hope someday to add a Segway to my list of "waved at". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIC Posted May 31, 2012 Share #19 Posted May 31, 2012 Arizona is a place that almost everybody waveso regardless of type of bike. I wave left hand st anything on 2 wheels. There was a time that I could be riding a BMW K1200lt LT, a KLR 650 , one of two TW200 ' s on any given day . Just because they are riding something at that time doesn't mean they don't have something else in the stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
