Yup, good to acknowledge all the good drivers out there, maybe they will mention responsible motorbike riders to their friends and having more cagers even THINK about bikes is good.

I get lots of waves from cagers because I tend to go overboard with caution while learning to ride in traffic. When I'm on the main road and stopped at the small turn-off area near my house, I'll wave the cagers waiting to turn onto the main road to go ahead of me. They are sitting in a blind curve and I can see all the way. They're usually quite surprised that a biker is 'helping them' when they can't see so I hope they think and return the favour to some other biker out there.

Obviously I can't do that if someone is behind me but if no one's there, hey why not? Karma points.

We should all do what ever it takes to raise the reputation of motorcycle riders. We've got a long way to go.
