I always wave to fellow street bikes but I kinda hold back when I see Harleys because most of them hardley wave back. Usually I wait till they wave then I wave back

ok, i talked to my dad this evening and i brought up the question about waving at other bikers on the road. He drives a Harley Davidson Road King.

he said most times he is the first to wave. There are times he doesnt wave if he is shifting gears or something, but other than that, he always waves to any bike. He told me that he could understand why some bikers wouldnt wave back.......i guess its some kind of macho thing?

Yeah, I wave to pretty much everyone, but harleys. They never seem to so i just gave up. I think, they think, they are too cool to associate with us sportriders. Do Harley guys wave to each other?

I think alot of times the wave thing differs on where you live. In my area, Harley's rarely wave back.

If they do wave back, you guys might want to verify they aren't flipping you off :) I noticed one time that the guy put his hand out to the side, and his middle finger was extended :mad:

Next time I see that I'm turning around and riding next to him flipping him off....maybe I need to do something about my road rage ;)

I throw up a Crip or Blood gang sign...depending on what color their bike is :finger

I wave to everyone on a bike. However, it's kinda embarassing when you stick your hand up to wave, and the bastards don't wave back. (people in traffic will look at you like a jackass) So when that happens, I just throw my arm back and act like I'm scratching my neck or something. :lol
