I was riding yesterday. Only riders who waved back were sport bike riders. The cruiser crowd are retards.

Depends on your point of view. A short bus full of mentally challenged kids wave at everything too. So who are the retards?

Don't get your panties in a knot, I'm just playing devils advocate.

I really don't get the "brotherhood" thing though. Most bikers I've met are not people I want to be friends with.

This one.

It's hilarious to actually see the whole phenomenon play itself out - I mean, it only happens with bikes. When I'm in the car, fellow 'Stang drivers aren't waving at me: they're pulling up beside me in an attempt to race me, grind me to dust and laugh in my face at the next set of lights because their car is "better-than-my-car-so-I-get-all-the-chicks-suck-on-that-fast".

Car folks in general are always trying to one-up each other, whether you're in the "all-show-no-go" crowd or the performance crowd. It's when I ride my bikes I see all the happy-go-lucky bikers waving like love-struck tourists at each other (it's quite comical).

Yeah, I'm in the "I'll nod at you if I think you have a cool bike, you have a nice rack/butt, and/or I-want-to-steal-your-girlfriend" crowd.
 
I haven't been riding as long as some people here, but personally after 13 straight seasons of riding I am sick of the wave. Yes I know, you have a bike, so do I, welcome to the exclusive club of motorcyclist.

I wave to all bikers. It's cool when 2 ups wave too.

Screw the wave - do the bro fist! ( i forget who posted that thread )
 
I find if it's a particuarly cold or rainy day and there aren't many bikes out it makes a lot of sense. Or if you're in an area with not many riders. But riding Snake or the Forks is kind of silly since you might as well keep your hand constantly waving.
 
Ah the old good wave question thread, early this year.
 
do motorcyclists still signal cops ahead to other motorcyclists or is that now silly too?

Not as silly as this question. Is this supposed to relate to waving at each other? I believe car drivers can accomplish this feat even without waving at each other.

Try again.

RedDogDarren you are a real sarcastic smarta@#... but in a real funny way. I like reading your replies.
Your poor mother.

When I had my Grand National, all Grand National owners waved.

It all comes down to how tight-knit the particular community is. The GN community is tight.
 
When I'm in town, if you wave I'll wave back. If I'm off the beaten path a little bit than my wave means that you're not riding into anything unexpected. No cops, or gravel over the road, or a truck backing into a driveway just over that blind hill.......everything is a-ok ahead.
But I grew up in the country where everyone just waved at everyone. Didn't matter if you were on foot or in a car, everyone just waved.

That is exactly the intended purpose! I just intend to have fun and a laugh but it's unfortunate that in print it can be misconstrued.

And it's my poor wife more recently. :)

Sounds like yoru arms would get tierd!
 
Sport bike riders tend to wave at everyone because we're well, healthy, and fit.

Harley riders tend not to wave because they are fat, unhealthy, and unwell.

One of them get bashed at in the media more than the other.

Har har.
