The origins of the "wave" is unknown, here are some other theoriesThere is an interesting discussion going on the GTAM FB site criticizing folks that don't acknowledge the infamous wave back.
Here was my response:
"Don't take it so hard. The origins delve back to the '60s when bikers gave the equivalent to the 'thumbs-up' that the road ahead was clear of cops. That helps explain why Harley riders today seldom wave back cuz that was the predominate bike in that day. Btw, I am an old fart from those days if your couldn't tell...."
Comments?
1.William Harley and Arthur Davidson invented the biker wave
2.The wave was used as recognition of military service between bikers
3.Knights in medieval Europe invented the traveler’s wave
4.The wave is nothing more than a common practice among all motorcyclists because of the unique bond and camaraderie we share as riders
I wave to everyone including trikes, dirt bikes, CanAms and mopeds<<< some of those look like actual 250-300s from a distance.
