    I won't argue with that. So, if you want to be waved at a bunch, just ride a BMW! When I sold my Goldwing and purchased the BMW suddenly almost everybody waved at me: other BMW's, all sport bikes, almost all Goldwings, probably a third of the HD riders and of course all of those people riding those crazy looking vehicles called Spyders! Like almost everybody here, I wave at everybody. If they wave back great. If they don't wave back I don't give it a second thought.

    Beemer Drivers believe ATGATT means "All the grips all the time." They are not allowed to take a hand off the grip once underway...

    Aw yes, "To Wave or Not To Wave" that is the question. I only wave to the girls! Mostly after April 7th I will

    be celebrating my 66th year of riding and at my age I'm kinda busy to wave to everyone. I do wave but

    not in busy traffic, corners or when I am doing "wheelies".

    When they are riding a crotch rocket they have a lot of pressure on their hands. They don't have the comfy ride we do. Don't hold it against them [emoji4]

    Same here. I always get waves from the crotch rockets. I have actually been ignored by some Spyder riders. Go figure.

    I am having to much fun in my happy place when I ride to care if they wave back or not. We wave to everyone and take it as a bonus if they wave back.

    Default Don't care

    I can't say that the type of ryde makes a difference. I wave to all, don't care if they wave back......but most of them do, and it is evenly spread accrossed all types of rydes. I guess we are just more friendly out here is California!
