I wave if conditions permit. I always return a wave if waved to first.

here in Holland too ,When I first moved here from the UK I was surprised at how little recognition of other bikes there is here, particularly sportsbikes.
...............
In the UK it is common for every biker to nod
here it seems different.
The one exception was the toys in the sun charity run, huge difference, everyone was friendly and the camaraderie was great.
So, just for fun, I am going to wave at every bike I see over the next few weeks and try to guage a percentage of returns.
here in Holland too ,
Lets hope it rubs off on some of the others, so that at the end of the week they'll all be returning your waves :thumbup:
Unfortunately for the rest of this week I have to be on a boat at the Miami Boatshow, so my plan will have to wait until next week.

Cool. Do you ever get a wave back from a cop? Depending on which part of the neighborhood you're riding in L.A., you may not get the expected friendly "wave" back from a cop. About a week ago I was pulled over by an A$ cop (alas he was not on a bike). I was not obstructing any traffic laws, nor riding unsafely when I noticed flashing lights, and loud siren scream right behind me. I pulled over, hit the kill-switch, only to hear - "Get of the bike, take off the helmet, and place it on the sidewalk!". The cop asked me to show him my license to which I happily showed him my earned class C and M1 license. He asked why I did not have my plates on the bike, so I had to explain how the bike is brand new and that I am simply going to the dealer to get my break-in service in. Anyway he seemed uninformed as he was surprised at the fact that the bike had only 600 miles and required a maintenance service. Oh, and before letting me go, he also commanded me to place my plate on as soon as it arrived from the DMV. YESSIR!, I replied ;-) I know he was not a bike cop, but he deserved other type of gesture from me :Flip: The funny thing is that my license plate arrived that very same day in the mail
I wave at everyone, once you pass 50 yrs. old people will just think,"Oh it's some old fart on a bike" anyway
Well this begs the question,
I knock on my helmet if I see a cop in the area.
Good call, + 1 for me. I also wave to pedestrians, especially very pretty ones lolI wave to bikers, only bikers understand bikers. I also wave to kids in cars, it puts a big smile on their faces and it give them a story to tell their friends. Bikers have enough bad image out there. Maybe if we all wave non-bikers will see we are friendly. My $.02. :Sport:
I guess it must be a warning, When I was in Germany I noticed that some riders just took their left foot off the peg and stuck their leg out as a wave?Does anyone else do this? Is there any meaning behind it? & I wave to all bikers.
Does anyone else wave to bicyclist? They are on two wheel too. They have it even worse than we do. At least people worry we will get off the bikes and kick thier asses. Some poor sap in a styro helmet, and spandex doesnt really inspire a lot of fear in a cager. LOL
