I get more waves on my Spyder than I ever did on a two wheeler, including my last bike, a Victory Cross Roads.

Glad you enjoying it. I tend to wave at nearly everyone. But I gotta say, a lot of people would never wave at the slingshot due to it having a steering wheel. I wave at them, not because of a "biker brotherhood thing", but because I think they are cool.hyea:

In Southern Illinois, I rarely get the wave now that I went from two to three wheels. It's the same bikes that I would pass everyday on two....Oh well....

We get waves from about 99% of the biking population. Only the die hard 1% group seems to be the anomaly.

The slingshot isn't a bike/trike. It's an inexpensive stripped down sports car (sorta). Looks like fun to drive but I can see why many don't wave to them.
I wave to the folks on saddles - bikes, trikes, & horses.

 

[BrianO]

Me too.
I also wave to people on scooters, e bikes , and mobility scooters.

I also agree, and from what I’ve seem, most of that 1% crowd do not wave at anyone. Not even to each other!

 

[Raven]

Some do, some don't. Me I wave to everybody no two or three wheels.
If you really want to make some ones day, wave to a kid on a Vespa

 

[Pooch]

I wave to everybody. If they don't wave back - that's their problem.... doesn't bother me.... I go on down the road feeling good that I waved.

Yep, that’s my attitude too, Pooch. Besides, unless you focus your complete attention on an approaching rider, from when you first see them, until they pass you, how can you guarantee they haven’t waved/nodded/some-other-thing back at you….. and if you do focus that hard on them, please let me know when you are heading out for a ride, as I want to stay WELL away from you :2thumbs:

I hear what you’re saying Pete. A lot of my cage friends tell me that they saw me out and waved, but I guess you didn’t see me, you didn’t wave back. I hear that a lot, and no, I didn’t see them...I was focused on the road and the trffic

Wave-a-lot

I tend to wave at almost all two and three-wheelers (except during rally weekend) :yikes: I often wave to bikers and trikers when I'm in my truck or car, just to let them know I'm aware of their presence. When I'm in my BMW Z4, I also wave to other sports cars. Come to think of it, I guess I wave a lot!

 

[OuluPulu]

I love Slingshots and will totally wave if we ever ride past each other.
