[QUOTE=Rugby Winger;736143]@greenaero that goes without saying but I'm disappointed that indifference equals rude. How sensitive have we become but this is nevertheless an interesting discussion.
Roderick, Yes its too bad some people are so hyper-sensitive. Fortunately its somewhat rare, but there are some angry, dangerous peopple out there just waiting for an excuse to attack. My point isn't to have people live in fear of this negative reaction but for people to understand and enjoy the simple pleasure of extending yourself a bit by being friendly and polite. |

Well that is just silly. Both of you were being silly. The guy on the cruiser was apparently being a sensitive princess and as for you, whether you realize it or not are a part of a community. We all take the same chance for the love of two wheels. Whether the love comes from the ride or the economical value – whatever your reasons may be for having bought the bike and being on the road at that time. You don’t have to be at bike night to be a part of this community.
If you want to look at it like “what do they have to do with me” then let me say this: the more people on the road riding on two wheels the more likely those on 4 wheels are going to look out for you. I can tell you that living in New York when the weather turns cold and there are less of “us” on the road the more exercise my defensive riding gets. Maybe you can look at it as an overall cost of ownership perspective. The more people with this interest the better it is for you. If you happen to be on the side of the road with an issue with your bike, I can guarantee that it will be another biker that will stop to help you. I give the two fingers down which is the; “keep the rubber side down” or “ride safe” gesture because I mean it. Whether it is to the weekend-warrior-billy-bad-ass or the daily commuter, I don’t like hearing people become statistics. I don’t like people telling me how motorcycles are dangerous. I want people to ride smart while still having fun and simply put, it is nice to see other people enjoy something I am so passionate about. I wave to anyone on two wheels when I can. I make it a point when I am on my sport bike to wave to cruisers and when I am on my cruiser to wave to sport bikes because f**k stereotypes.

of course.
no, of course I'm not, but they just don't wave back. it's like waving to a harley guy while you're on a sport bike, it's just a waste of effort 99.9995% of the time. I do wave occasionally to un-modded wrx's just because, and i get a response about 5% of the time. Other models, if they're not modded, no, never, there's no comradery on their end, I would just leave them wondering "do I know that guy?". |

Been a geek my whole life, so know what it's like to see something one way and not have others understand. Though in this case, I would compare it to you being in the middle of a Star Trek convention and have just stated it's only a television show.
Since I presume you commute often and this is the only incident of encountering a dick, let it be water off your back. He would have had an issue no matter what you did. But, if you start to notice more and more birds being flung your way, I would suggest seeing if a nod or a couple fingers out might be something you could consider. As many have mentioned here it usually will be other bikers that stop to help out. If through inaction in acknowledging others you have accidentally given the impression you are a loner or not part of the group, you may find those same bikers unwilling to help (doubtful but going with the dick's reaction...). Think of it as humoring us geeks.

Great analogy!!!
Would be bad to be broke down, and have all those riders be like lemme stop and help... Oh the guy that's too good to wave... Just rev their engines and wave as they go by smiling P.S. Star Trek is a show... I watched it all the time as a kid

I wave at a lot of people - other bikers/scooterers(?) no matter what they ride, drivers who've been courteous (only because I don't have time to wave at all of them), truckers who show some consideration, bicyclists (who I've found to be particularly polite and friendly), pedestrians who I always give the benefit of the doubt to, ad inifitum. A surprising number of them wave back, and often I can see them smile. It's amazing just how much a smile, a wave, or some minor consideration in traffic can brighten your day. Since I know how much it can uplift me, I like to spread the same love around when I can - it costs nothing to be nice.

All the cruiser guys wave for the most part - maybe 10-15% don't wave back to me. I usually wave first and they wave back. Some don't but I still had waved at them. To the OP - The crazy thing about this is that you could have not seen the wave, and that guy still would have freaked out. Sometimes people don't see stuff, etc. The fact that the cruiser guy didn't think to himself "Maybe he didn't see it or was lost in thought" is interesting. |

For starters the cruiser guy has issues to do what he did..not acceptable behavior. I rarely get cruiser waves but when I do I wave back. I always give a hand or nod to sport bikes.
My question for OP is if someone passes by while you are walking in public and says hi or howdy do you respond back? Do you ignore them like you do friendly bikers? It's your choice if you don't want to wave and be a part of this community many of us enjoy on and off the bike but it seems like you're proud of the fact that you want to be an outsider. It almost seems like you may be trolling for a flame war. I may be wrong and I mean no dis-respect. If you ever find yourself in need on the road and another motorcycle rider offers help will you turn it down cause you don't consider yourself part of the community??

Being an accountant I was bored one day at work and did some quick calculations. My Ninja 250R got 47 MPG on the highway, while my car gets 35 MPG (while going 80 with the AC blasting). At $4.00 a gallon and a cost of $3000 for my 250R. It would take my 100,000 miles to break even! Even a 100+ MPG scooter would take nearly 40,000 miles to recover to cost of the scooter (at $3,000). Btw, that Harley rider seems like a douche. That being said, what's wrong with waving? It's the nice thing to do when someone who enjoys a similar passtime as you rides by. |

Dear OP:
I'm also too cool to consider myself a part of any group. Can we be too cool together? Maybe we could get a bunch of people like us together. You know, like in a group. I also have no opinion on waving, so I don't wave. I don't even discuss waving. Especially on the Internet. Sincerely,

"To wave or not to wave, that is the question. We’ve all faced that critical mass state when we felt obligated to wave but then became unsure. The worrying starts and then there’s that overwhelming feeling of guilt. Well, worry no more; here are some general waving rules to help guide you : 1)interstate; unnecessary, 2) in a curve; unnecessary 3) in the rain or at night; unnecessary 4) on a mellow two lane; proper. 5) a highway with little traffic; proper 6) A rally, unnecessary and 7) in traffic, unnecessary. There are, however, times when not waving is just down right rude. So if you’re not a jackass, when you are presented with “The Wave” you should, if at all possible, reciprocate. If it’s the proper place and time and you receive no reciprocal wave, don’t get your panties in a bunch and think you’ve just passed a jackass, because there are some acceptable reasons. These reasons are as follows: 1) you weren’t seen, 2) clutch manipulation or 3) a head nod was substituted.
There are 5 basic waves 1) the left-handed low wave, 2) the left-handed straight out wave, 3) the left-handed high wave 4) the right-handed (ha, ha, I have cruise control) wave and 5) the left-handed forward wave. The variations of these waves are as varied as the bikers & the bikes they drive, but there are some basic rules. 1) Left-handed low wave, sometimes called the Harley or cruiser wave. Typically seen used on cruiser style or custom chopped motorcycles. The arm is fully extended and aimed down towards the street in a 45 or lesser degree angle with the extension of either one, two, three or five fingers. The direction of the palm is also critical to the look and feel of this wave. The palm must either face the other rider or face the road. A classic variation of the finger positioning is throwing a peace sign (Duce) or thumbs up. To low wave with an angle greater than 45 degrees and/or with the palm facing up or back and/or with the use of 4 fingers is telling the biker community at large that you are either new or inept. If you have a cruiser and can’t get this wave to work for you, then consider the Left-Handed straight out wave or trading out your bike. 2) Left-handed straight out wave is an all around general wave. Typically seen used on crotch rockets, cruisers, customs and baggers alike. The arm can be either fully or partially extended with no more than a 10 degree angle higher or lower than the shoulder. The palm must be facing the oncoming rider in either a horizontal or vertical position and a full palm must be shown. It is suggested you present the hand in a relaxed state, as flattening it will make you look like a dork. The classic variations of the peace sign (duce) or thumbs up are also acceptable. If practiced, this is one of the easiest waves to master and will work with all bikes. If for some reason you can’t get this wave to work, you will probably have serious problems with the kickstand dynamic and should immediately sell your motorcycle before you cause yourself anymore embarrassment! 3) Left-handed high wave is a variation of the typical wave seen made by kings and kids alike. Mostly used by upright riders of crotch rockets and baggers. The elbow is kept even or slightly lower than shoulder height. The elbow should be bent at about a 75 – 85 degree angle with a slight forward angling of the forearm. The palm must be facing the oncoming rider and the hand can either remain still or the use of a side to side motion is acceptable. This wave has been proven very useful when you have a loose watchband. It is suggested you present the hand in a relaxed state, as once again, flattening it will make you appear to be a dork. The classic variations of the peace sign (duce) or thumbs up are frowned upon when using this type of wave. it’s a bit too over the top. Important: Should you be riding a crotch rocket, it is extremely important to maintain the image by using this wave only if the left hand is coming from the left hip or thigh. This should never, ever be used when coming from the handlebars. Warning of possible injury: Do not use this type of wave on a cruiser. You will appear aloof, snobbish and everyone will hate you! If you have a medical condition or feel you must use this type of wave, get a bagger or ride a crotch rocket only in the upright position and don’t be a dick about it. There are rules! 4) Right-handed (ha, ha, I have cruise control) wave. This is an occasional use wave by bagger riders. Typically seen being employed by Ultra Classic and Goldwing riders. They’re riding on rolling living room sofas. These big, comfy and not really coooool bikes are great for touring. This lack of coolness can cause a temporary condition known as “Dickishness” which can be instantly healed by passing a cruiser giving the right hand wave. The general message being sent is “You might be on a cool bike but damn it, I’m comfy”. If the rider of the touring bike is a smoker he will typically light up a cigarette or a cigar, just to drive that point home. 5) Left-handed forward wave. This wave is solely used by crotch rocket riders because, let’s face it, what the hell else can they do in that position? A flashed wave, is almost imperceptible due to the speed of the wave and the bike. To execute this wave one must slightly raise the left hand from the grip, no more than 3 or 4 inches, show the palm and return to the grip. This entire motion must be fluid and executed in under three seconds. You must learn all the intricacies of this wave before you take your first ride. If you don’t, they will know you’re a newbie and you’ll instantly become pink slip bait. The only way to avoid this lame wave stigma is by doing something crazy like riding a wheelie while naked. If you don’t fall off, that’s a big plus! The last and probably most important part of the wave is the hand you’re using to wave. You’ll want to care for that hand because without it; How do you expect to wave? Get some of the Time Rider's Shtuff For Bikers; Crack & Crevice Cleaner (body & bike cleaner) to clean that hand up and some Totally Awesome Crap (liquid glove) to protect it When approaching another biker always remember to maintain the rule of "The Wave", you never know who's watching!"

I have met some good biker people. They aren't my friends but they are good people. They've offered me to go to the track with them and hang out though I know I won't. I've met good people. I just don't feel one of them nor will I try to be. I'm just a random guy who happens to own a motorcycle and it happens to be a Ninja 250R. I love it but I don't have a passion for it nor for bikes. I guess I was burnt out of love after my days riding dirt bikes. Someone could steal it and throw it off of a cliff and I wouldn't shed a tear. Though it would be admittedly a slight inconvenience. |

Copied from post #76: "4. The Dis - Left hand down and resting on the thigh. This could be viewed as a request to treat the opposing party as a hostile witness - ESPECIALLY if it is moved there while you are approaching. Dating back to the days when rival motorcycle gangs roamed the streets, this signal indicated disrespect to the other rider(s) and was clearly meant as negative and often times led to confrontation. Today, however, the old cultural significance has been lost, and could simply just mean your arm is tired and resting on your leg."
