Waving to bikes from my work van....!!!

[Moses195]

I'm sure this has been beat to death already. I found myself wanting to wave to bikes from my work van today! I don't think I did this last week. I only have 1200 miles between 2 bikes! It's a wierd feeling as your left arm starts to go out!!

thought about it before but haven't actually done it.......
the rider you wave at would most likely guess that you ride too! :Sport:

I am so bad i have taken to waving at pedal bikes on occasion...

I always love when I wave to one of those scooters that you think is a sportsbike from the front, then pass and realize its a vespa.

:thumbup:

I know!! I always look twice! LOL

I try to lane split with my Jeep and sometime try to lean that bad boy over. It's kinda like I see the turn. pick my line, pop open the door, lean out, look through the turn, and then hear my wife scream WTF? and slide back in the Jeep. :spank:

I tried to wave at a few bikes from my work van and got no waves back, so I quit.

if I have my arm out the window I wave without even thinking about it. I even had a bike cop wave back:jawdrop:

After the streak of sunny weather out here I went about two weeks using the bike as my one form of transportation, so when the rain hit again it took me a while to get used to the car. I went to turn left out of my neighborhood, gauged the distance to the oncoming car, knew it was good, then accelerated (or rather tried to)... I found myself flooring the pedal of my poor Subaru expecting it to slingshot me just like my fizzer! :spank: Meanwhile the speedo needle was ever so slowly making its anticlimactic rise upwards towards the flow of traffic...

After that and a few attempted leaning corners I got back into the groove of being in a metal cage, but still didn't lose the wave. I kept on waving to bikers, most of whom just gave me a rather confused look in return.

If i pull up next to a bike when in my car...i just about always give em the nod, and if they have a particularly nice bike, i sometimes even roll down the window and tell em that i think it is nice!

I gat waves from some bikes that overtake me but I do have a "Think Bike" sticker inthe rear screen. :Flash:

I catch myself waving to other bikes while driving my truck. Guess its a habit since I ride the bike all the time.

 

[staticghost]

Waving is very good for you. I wave all the time. Makes the other person somewhat important as the stranger waves to them...

I did this the other day..though I was on my bike. I didn't realize it was a bike cop at first, but he did wave back.

I find myself smacking the interior of my truck door trying to wave to bikes. Amazing how reflexes take over, eh?

 

[psnbye]

I have done it...alot. I have also been waved at by people in cars and when that happeens I usually just wave or nod thinking they ride too and shrug it off.

waving while driving is cool but doing this is even cooler

LOL, I got it worse. I've been a member of a GTO club for years. I wave at GTO's and Bikes, no matter what vehical I'm in, even my Dodge Dakota..

That thread is full of win ... very entertaining

I waved at a bike cop once and he didn't reply. Got waved by an old chap and his wife (they were riding bicycles) and assumed they were riders too and waved back

As for the car thing - I don't attempt opening my door and dragging my knee as most of you here but I do wave at bikers from time to time

 

[crazy dave]

I did this once out of my car out of habit n got the middle finger in return
