To wave or not to wave, that is the question

[Dubld]

Yes, I wave at all other bikes. I don't care what they are riding, it is that they ARE riding.

By the time I figure out how to hold up 3 fingers the other motorcycle will be long gone

Looks easy enough for pool-shooters. The right-handed ones, anyway.

1. Extend hand with all fingers straight out, and spread apart. (.000000021693 seconds)
2. Touch tip of forefinger to tip of thumb. (.00000000000000000000000021693 seconds)

There! Wasn't that easy? hyea:

I would not wave at that, but I would wave at the person on it

I don't wave at anyone wearing a do-rag. I do wave at ALL scooters.

Bob you forgotten the real Reason Harley riders don't wave back

1+/ Their to busy to see you wave as they're watching in their mirrors to see where the last part has landed after it has vibrated off.

I LIKE that one; for sure!!

Waving at scooters, especially small ones is a gas! Almost all of them do a double take, kinda like "hey, this guy thinks I'm kool too! WTF!" HA Ha

:agree: The fact that they ride... they deserve as much of a wave as the most jaded, "Million-MIle Beemerphile" :2thumbs:

Actually it takes more fearless "guts" to ride a scooter than anything else. Some of them might have a minimum amount of engine displacement, but let me tell you, you gotta be really tough to ride one more than just to the store and back. I had a Honda 50. Rode it from Pasadena to Yosemite (about 550 miles--I guess). That was one VERY difficult journey. Then when I high-sided on it, the damage to my body was just as real as if I had been riding a 5,000 cc HD. Scooter riders deserve a lot more respect than almost any other bikers.

Those small wheels don't take kindly to bumps and potholes... :shocked:
They ARE a tough ride! :clap:
But; the folks who start on them often graduate to larger, more roadworthy "arsenals" over time... :2thumbs:

Oh yeah! Because we all know that donning a do-rag automatically makes you the spawn of Satan. Should probably be punishable by death. Because you can always tell everything about a person by their clothing. Right on bro.......:banghead:

Actual age . . . or mental age? For some of us, there is a BIG difference! :yes:

. . . and I wave at anyone who rides . . . because it is simply a greeting . . .

I'm 67 going on 18:clap::yes:wave wave wave

 

[dadof4]

Always. They usually wave back.

After having a Honda Ruckus, Honda Silverwing Maxi scooter w/sidecar, and a '64 Vespa w/sidecar I figure I need to return the love.

Sure I would wave! looks cool and what the heck can't we all be friends!

In Europe most bikers wave too, but in the UK we pretty much never do. We nod instead. I don't know for certain, but I think it may be because we drive on the left, therefore passing throttle hand to throttle hand. For everyone else to wave means lifting your left or clutch hand which I'd easy to do, for us it would be our throttle hand which is more complicated.

Incidentally there is etiquette to be obeyed. Usually bikers only nod to bikers, not scooters. This is do to me as prior to crippledom I had a 1200cc Buell and a 49cc Piaggio Zip. In France bikers wave, but to be really cool you need to wave with your hand as close to the road as possible!
