rank is by Hyundai model. Starts at Pony, and goes up. I'm thinking a tasteful "Sonata" neck tattoo.

The Pony was the shiz-nit

Damn. I guess I'm a hipster then. I avoid wearing pants whenever possible.

It's not a wave in the traditional sense like if you were bidding someone bon voyage at the docks or greeting a long lost love on the train platform, it's just an acknowledgement of shared hobby/interest/lifestyle/road. Any sexual tension would be purely coincidental as I am given to understand it.

Sexual tension would at least add something to the wave. But since there is none I stand my ground on my opinion. I care not if a stranger has a shared interest until I determine if I like said person through actual social interaction. Are we going to start waving at people if they have the same kind of smartphone?

Motorcycling is not a lifestyle to me. I am passionate to the extreme for it but I feel no need to wear clothing that identifies me as a motorcyclist when I am away from riding. I see no need to listen to the usual Hillbilly rock when I ride my cruiser, or slap on knee sliders when I am out on the sportbike.

A woman wearing club pants riding a sportbike is always pleasurable, yet still not wave worthy to me.

I might install a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube woman onto the passenger seat so I don't see any more whining threads about a guy who doesn't wave at you.

My post was kind of a joke. Is your response kinda too? So you wouldn't acknowledge another person until after you've met them? Ohkayyyy.....

You got me, while I think waving is silly I usually still do it to be polite.
 
I was out on the bike this morning. Waved to everyone. All but one waved back. Went out in the suv later, waved at a bike out of habit...got cut eye.

I hope so, otherwise what the hell is he wearing?
 
I saw two can-am's today, i only waved to the second one. I figured if waving is really important they could argue about if i waved or not at Timmies ;)

Yeah. Even the Can-am riders need some love from time to time. Good for you for paying it forward... ;)

Seriously though, I can see a day when I might have to switch from two wheels to three (post-Burgman, that is :P), so as long as they're keeping the faith, all good by me...

I wave a everyone, even scooters...... Lol

Scooter pilots don't get enough love. Those guys got balls (even the females) to ride something that small and insubstantial and slow in today's traffic. Srsly. I wave at 'em too. Just recently gave the thumbs-up to a guy riding a cool, mint little 50cc Puch moped. Why not?

If they're on two wheels and have an engine moving them, I acknowledge them.
