Majority of time, peace sign down by my left leg.. Sometimes arm extended
above head. Then their is the fingers off the bar with hand still intack on
the bar. Tip of the helmet if going thru intersection and another bike is
wating at the light. Again all depends on the situations and whether I
feel safe or have time. I won't put myself or Genie in danger just to wave.
I do wave as often as I can. I miss some yet is not on purpose.
Harley gals here, if two up with bf's will wave, by selves most time not.

Depends on my mood. Usually down and to the left or a simple raising of the fingers. Apehangers do require some extra attention, even when you've rolled with them for years. Ditto my modified (front heavy) suspension.

You are more likely to get a wave from me if you are: A Female, B in a half or 3/4 shell, C riding a bike you obviously built yourself. And of course, the cute little hardbellies in tank tops on the back of a crotch rocket I tend to blow a kiss, or at least leer at. I AM a dirty old man after all. Wink

head nod when i cant let go of the bars - drop 2 to the left casually when i can let go - If i know the other rider i will raise 2 while holding the bar if i am not shifting.........passing a large group might call for combinations of all of the above......there is one (older) guy i pass every morning - he is on a GW and he never acknowledges any of my attempts to be friendly....i quit trying several months ago - then one day i saw he had two up and I though ok now he is getting with the program wonder what changed his mind?

Weracerc, that is how an older gentlemen
was with me too.. Hmm something with age
you think? lol...
I would see him in the early mornings on my way
home from work. Well used to as used to work nights.
Anyways, he looked like a Ewok from Starwars on his bike.
Big burly, hairy.. I would wave and he never waved back. I
would say to myself, grumpy old man.. lolol..
Well one morning, he surprised the heck out of me, he
waved back!!!
I smiled and figured Grumpy, went thru the change of life.. Grin

I used to ride to Troop and Venture crew meetings on my Vulcan, in uniform, including Order of the Arrow sash. I was the strangest Assistant Scoutmaster they had (a judge, a sheriff's dept water rescue diver, a couple soldiers, and a long haired full bearded biker, among others). Change at the bike shop, throw on chaps and a vest and go.

Heel of the palm kept on the grips, rotating the wrist to the "peace" sign down 45 dgrees for rubber side down. I wave at most everybody. First couple of bikes in a group. and +1 on kids on bikes. it seems to make their day!

Wierdest wave I ever saw was an old dude on a Honda would always put his fist on the top of his left grip and "flick" a peace sign twice. You couldn't tell if he was waving, signalling a left turn or chasing flies... Huh
