Some people are antisocial for whatever reason, whether it's personal or some sort of real condition. I'm not going to judge. Regardless, with all due respect, this is unfortunately what happens when you choose not to play with the other kids in the sandbox. You get viewed as an outcast and different. Once you're labelled as such, there may be a hot head who views that difference in an adversarial manner and kicks the sand back in your face. Aside from the hand gestures or lack thereof and a few nasty words, both parties at least didn't escalate it to something more.

And where in your original post were you delving for technical information? You made a non-technical, socially invested post and get confused when people think you have the social skills of an acorn.......?

I don't understand that gangster mentality.
How can you respect or disrespect someone that you don't know?
They don't respect each other, they can only hate, abuse or fear other people.

Sure, due to ignorance of the significance of a gesture, you could offend somebody.
But this is a gesture that not everybody riding a motorcycle knows; hence, if unable to "take it", the offended part could have limited himself to clarify things verbally rather than confronting you like a cave Australopithecus.

I think that you handled a bad situation very well.

I'm sure you can see where I got confused, as this thread has absolutely nothing to do with that.

And when you say something like this....

On a motorcycle forum, I'm afraid you might be the one that doesn't "get it"

I taught my son that good manners cost nothing, not even extra effort once you make a habit of them, and they'll open doors in life that no other key can unlock. He's since moved to NYC, NJ, and NY state, been there for around ten years, and he swears that I was right (at least about that idea). Maybe the folks there just think he is quaint or backward and humor him, but he's had some fantastic good fortune that he attributes to that attitude about other people. Doesn't mean he's a pushover - never mistake kindness for weakness.

There, we're back on topic. Kinda, sorta.

Now, to tackle something less pleasant to discuss ... RugbyWingman, are you saying that you came to this site just to pick its bones for anything you find helpful, with no intentions of trying to give anything back? And you didn't expect any backlash? If so, you certainly live in a different world than I do.

I believe what he's trying to say is that he rides a Ninja 250; but doesn't give a damn about other motorcycles, other motorcyclists, the lifestyle of owning a motorcycle, the shared interest he has with other riders, anything related to motorcycles, or anyone that isn't already involved with his daily routine. It's my personal opinion that the OP might consider getting tested for Aspergers

Make sure that attitude only applies to waving; staying safe on the road goes hand in hand with being nice and courteous.

You were probably the first sport bike he decided to wave to and you rejected him. I've never seen a cruiser wave to this day, but if I do I will certainly wave back so I can have more of them doing it! You don't have to wave back, but I've always enjoyed the waving aspect of riding.

Waving is a nice gesture, and you don't have to respond. Safety first, kiddos! My first day riding my crappy used ninja and I already had a waver and I was like no way can I acknowledge this guy... I haven't used a real bike in a year!

It takes all kinds of folks to make the world go round. Be who you are. That said, being in such a infinitesimally small minority of extreme antisocials, good luck getting the hot girl wave.

Uh yeah, just lurk when the bike needs something done on how to do it. How do I give back? By waving? I don't frequent enough on the forum to answer other people's questions anyway.

You finally got something right sort of. No I don't have Aspergers. Already got tested for it amongst other things quite recently when psychological testing was recommended for my career. Try again if you like.

Well considering one of the first people I met after I signed the paperwork and was handed the keys was a hot girl on a bike. She waved as I got on my bike and she turned around after I motioned her over. We talk but we're just cool.

I would be more than happy to never see another wave again. If I do then I'll just do as I've always done and not respond. I'm focused on my ride and my commute. I enjoy (well not technically) my ride my way and I shall continue to do so. Other riders will enjoy their rides their way. If that includes waving to me if I pass by them then whatever. They aren't entitled to a response especially when I never asked for it. I'm not trying to sound like a prick at all but whatever.

General: I consider myself to be a decent person. I'm not disrespectful but I'm very indifferent about a lot of things. Just because I take no interest in you shouldn't be considered a slight. That moment when I'm passing a motorcycle shouldn't carry such a cross.

ITT: People over analyzing a simple situation.

Other biker overreacted like people do sometimes. Restaurants, bars, sports venues, on the streets, some people are assholes.

OP was rude. Simple as that. Example: You walk into your work elevator with someone else, they say "Hi." They're just trying to be friendly, you dont even have to work together or even for the same company. You're both on the same elevator, both going up to work, no one really wants to be there. Do you just look at them and glare, or just simply say "Hi." back and it ends there. It's a simple courtesy that some over analyze.

Yea, except what the op did was essentially flip the other biker off.

OP was rude. Simple as that. Example: You walk into your work elevator with someone else, they say "Hi." They're just trying to be friendly, you dont even have to work together or even for the same company. You're both on the same elevator, both going up to work, no one really wants to be there. Do you just look at them and glare, or just simply say "Hi." back and it ends there. It's a simple courtesy that some over analyze.
I agree, OP clearly has Aspergers

You won't let that go will you? If I did then that truly would be a nice excuse. I'm not a troll. I was sharing an event on someone getting butthurt over something I have no obligation. You are trying too hard and are over thinking it.

Twists and turns of the thread aside, I'm glad it's here because I didn't know about the whole "left hand on knee or thigh" being a sign of disrespect. I do that naturally at times and it would be wise of me to break the habit.

The rule:

Quote:
2) If you do manage to see an oncoming bike with enough time to get an appropriate wave up, you better make sure it isn't a scooter. Unwritten bike rules make it a crime punishable by exile or death to wave at a scooter. And damn if it isn't hard to tell when you two are approaching each other at a combined 100 mph. If you do catch yourself mid-wave to a Vespa, however, it is acceptable to slowly turn it into an upraised middle finger. It's like the handshake-psyche of the two-wheeled world, and the look of dejection on their face will redeem any momentary awkwardness.

I wave to everyone.

Cruisers, choppers, Can-Ams, sport bikes, and drivers of very nice cars.

I'm pretty friendly towards everyone except ricers. Those with FWD cars and huge spoilers or imports in general that have more stickers than aftermarket upgrades UNDER the hood.

EDIT: Yes, even scooters. My belief is that they're still on two wheels, still capable of doing highway speeds, and are still enjoying the freedom that comes with being out of a cage.
