Here's another newbie question. Is there any significance to the wave I've been getting from bikers that pass me on the road? I mean that left arm pointing down low wave. Does it have a special meaning or is it just the way you have to wave on a bike because to lift your arm up the wind would pull your arm back?

i think it's just easy and doesent look goofy like a full out wave.
I like the wave. It is friendly and acknowledging that I see you.
In the past, riders would wave more often than now.
I wave, but not all wave back (50/50). So what is the deal?
Maybe the riding fab has brought people to bikes that are not meant to be on bikes. :?

if yur on a sport bike.. thats the reson for some of it......
I have talked with a couple of die hard no brain bucket harly riders, and they told me that they hate "them bullet bike riders", "they give us real motorcycle riders a bad name" at that point.. i put on my suzuki leather coat, and gsxr helmet.. and said, "yeap... we are horrable.... We all should be shot, just cause we have a passion for riding also....."
I have actually gotten the findeer by people just for waving....
that I dont understand.... @ all...

That sucks that they would say that about sportbike riders. And the finger is not right. Although some do act like monkeys.
OK, it is cool to do wheelees, but in full traffic!
Going fast is fun, but 125+ through traffic!
Buzzing cars is not cool! (drive past car very fast and very loud)

I usually wave but sometimes not. There are days when we see 300-500- bikes on a day trip, if 1 out of 4 vehicles is a bike it's tough to wave and drive at the same time . if I'm on straight yea no problem, but if we're touring on some narrow back roads, with a lot of curves and trees, or in heavy traffic, usually not. Just a saftey thing with me.
It is nice though in light traffic, 95% wave.

If you are not on a Harley most Harley riders won't wave (I have a hard time these days telling one cruiser from another). I notice a number of sport bike riders don't wave also - I think they have a hard time taking a hand off the low clip-ons. But I even wave at scooter riders!
