Acknowledging Other Riders

[flaggerphil]

I've been waving since the early '70s. We waved then to acknowledge another rider. I never heard of this "two wheels" stuff until the 2000s.

And I still wave (when it's safe) to acknowledge other riders. Some wave back, some don't, just like they have the last 40 plus years.

:riding:

Eggselent!

.......... "waives the wave". :roflblack:

Very good point. One does not need a written waiver, the wave is not mandatory.

Unless it's a little kid. Always wave at little kids. They might grow up to be bigger than you!

I think what Jack is saying in his own less than literate style, is that he "waives the wave". :roflblack:

You get a big "A" for perception Pam. Was wondering if anyone would catch the Waive vs Wave.

I only wave at people exactly like me.

I, like many here have always done the "two fingers down" to acknowledge the other riders. I also use the same salute to any and all law enforcement to acknowledge them as well........until last year.
Apparently a very grumpy sheriff thought for some reason that "wave" was me giving him the finger! He could have knocked me over with a feather when he asked me why I "flipped him off".
I still acknowledge the law enforcement out there when I'm on the bike, but it's with a salute now.
It's funny now, but I thought I was gonna get a free ride that day!

I waive the wave at all riders, if you choose to acknowledge great, if not no worries. Their call, some riders too cool for that ya know.
