do you guys wave to other riders?

i waved to 20 riders, one waved back lol

I wave to everybody except those pesky Oz'stralians...

btw, this may be mighty lame of me, but does the title generically report everybody's username to them, or is this singled out to me?

NevadaWolf · October 5th, 2012, 10:54 AM

I know it's the [ you ] tag but I keep seeing the thread subject and always think "I do wave!" so figured I'd respond.

I wave to everyone on two wheels and a motor. Most of the time though, I don't get a return wave.

Maybe because you don't have a bike?

I dont wave. I give them a head jesture by nodding. Makes you seem more cool.

Yasko · October 5th, 2012, 06:14 PM

The only time you'll see me on my bike without my gear is in my front yard.

I might not have my boots when going 5miles to work sometimes, but NEVER EVER without jacket, Shoei (snell) helmet, hi viz vest, Sac-Tec, and gloves.......EVER............................

I ride a Clean all black 07 with a Cortech tailbag.

Yasko · October 5th, 2012, 06:26 PM

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Today is the 1st time I've seen this thread.... I had a runin with di ks on Harleys, so now I don't wave to them as much. 50% now, but I would never diss a fellow brother on a 250....

If I'm on my FZ, I'll chase you down to say hello.

If I didn't wave, I didn't see you. My bad

We're a brotherhood with our Ninjettes....

Yasko · October 14th, 2012, 05:33 PM

Yas, I saw a red ninjette on Crowley Rd. today. I gave a big wave.

Was that you?

Rollo · October 14th, 2012, 11:44 PM

I also wave to every rider with a helmet on. Oddly enough, I get a lot of nods from Harleys. It takes me a second due to surprise, but I always nod back to them. Even got a nod from a motor cop several months ago.

I'll always wave back to anyone who waves to me, unless I'm busy and miss their wave, which happens.

Guevara · October 15th, 2012, 07:56 AM

Depends on where I am really, when in Toronto almost everyone waves. When riding in Puerto Rico, hardly anyone, unless its a matchy matchy-harley lifestyle-look at our matching vests-we dont ride unless in groups of 100 or more- type of situation, and even then I catch them off guard if I wave.

Old Guy on a '08 · October 15th, 2012, 11:46 AM

whole week on the blue ridge parkway and it was about 50/50... some did

, some didn't :thumbdown:. Most of the sport bike and dual sport riders waved

, a lot fo the HD guys didn't....

I wave to everyone on 2 or 3 wheels.

HD riders are the only ones that only wave once in a blue. Snobs

passive101 · July 26th, 2013, 09:15 AM

I usually give a peace sign unless I'm shifting steering etc. I don't put the gesture before safety

Why? It may be someone who can't ride on 2 but still wands to ride. You never know. Did you ever see that episode of counting cars when he makes the spider for the little guy? It was awsome.

If I'm not mistaken, they turn like a regular motorcycle would. One of these days I'm going to test ride one of them, I'll let you guys know then.

My next question is: can you drop one?

There is a story about someone riding one off a cliff soon after purchase, think I heard it around here... It fell over, tipped, and possibly flipped.

anacron · July 26th, 2013, 02:41 PM

You get a nod if my hands are busy and a peace sign or thumbs up when I'm not busy.

Dredgshadow · July 26th, 2013, 02:48 PM

I always wave. I don't get mad if I don't get one back

We just laugh about it later.

Noobman · July 27th, 2013, 09:07 PM

I wave to everyone except those electric scooters with the pedals sticking out to the sides hugging the side of a main road (or in the middle), damn electrics.

Wait,
was this thread originally directed to me ? I'm confused .

Amazing, Noobman. People were mad at you for not waving....BEFORE you starting even posting on here!

I don't think that's how it works.

Think of how a motorcycle turns. Countersteer, wheels are now out from under the CG. CG falls, motorcycle turns to compensate. Geometry of bike + throttle input rights bike after turn is done.

Those things don't lean. If anything, your steering inputs would be just like a car. Turn the way you want to go. No countersteering.

You would be correct.
