    Who Waves

    The scooter crash thread has brought up a question I've had lately.

    I've noticed less bikers waving to each other lately, and because of that I've only done it on group rides, or if they wave first.

    Let's here you're input & why

    Re: Who Waves

    Ill wave to sportbikes. Ill wave to Harley riders if they wave first. I wont wave to scooters under any circumstances.

    2 notes
    1. Since I got my KTM I've seen far more Harley riders waving to me than when I had my 636.
    2. I was very disappointed last night, I borrowed Wookies Harley for my first ever adventure on a Harley, and I waved to the only other Harley I saw and that prick didnt even wave back.

    Re: Who Waves

    i liked when we all rode to the Bean and we came up to a big harley group. Denno stood up on his pegs and made an obnoxious wave to them, just because he knew they wouldnt wave back

    Re: Who Waves

    I wave to everyone I can. Sometimes even scooter riders if they are dressed well and being smart riders. Alot of my waves are a helmet nod instead of a hand gesture.

    This poll is a good indication of what the people
    of NESR are like. We're not the sarcastic, snide pricks
    that we exhibit in our daily posts.

    bravo, bravo

    Jim's a snob though. He chose that he waves only if they wave first.

    Re: Who Waves

    bill's right. i had a feeling this thread would turn out something like this.

    the only option i didnt put on the poll is the wave, which is only done by Denno because...well...you know

    Re: Who Waves

    I try to wave to everyone but only if it is at a safe point. It is something I have been doing since I was a little kid on the back of my father's bike. Kinda sad to see fewer and fewer riders return the wave these days though.
