You have to wave at motorcyclist.
You can talk to them but they don't hear you.
Most of 'em can't hear worth a darn.

Now if I could just get a Spring Creek BBQ, Blue Goose and a Snuffers!
Ahhhhh. Maybe that's the key. Hey, now I didn't say I'll never get a wave. I'll throw out it's a 50 / 50 shot. I'll do it anyway just so they can tell their buddies "some nut riding a Honda was dressed like he was going into battle and wearing a bright neon helmet, waved at me... kook."Did you try waving with all your fingers?????
I get about the same percentage of HD riders that will wave back at me as I do any other bikes, about 90/10%. I dont expect an HD rider with ape hangers is gonna wave... I wouldn't take my hand off the bars if I dared to try and drive one of those ! lol !!
and I wave at little kids too George,,, they are usually waving at me first when I happen to see them, so no way am I not gonna wave at them... they really get a kick out of it

I wave at all motorcyclists. Doesn't matter what brand. That habit started for me back in my hometown when I first started riding. Didn't matter how many times we saw the same riders go by. Always a friendly wave.
I get a kick out of sometimes when I wave at Harley riders; the guy won't wave back but his girlfriend/wife/whatever will wave as if to say, "save me from this overpriced, vibrating P.O.C."
Or that's what I tell myself.

I wave at everybody too. The kids really get a kick out of a little toot of the Stebel.

It's hard to start a wave on a bike. Just about the time I get onto my feet and throw my hands in the air I get a little off balance ......
+1 :crackup
Agree with Gruuvy. Trying to conform to stadium standards can be hazardous
Both Whataburgers in Ocala will close 5/30
My Brother lives in Fort Worth, whenever we visit there, I love Whatabuger.
Sport bike riders can't wave. They'll fall forward and bump their nose on the tank.
I'm with Marty's observation:
Harley riders in metro areas are often cool and unfriendly. That's not because they ride Harley's though: It's because they're not riders - real riders. In metro areas, I don't always wave that often either. There's just too many two-wheelers.
To all of us who have left the chains of the cities we live in, though, and spent a week on the road in the middle of nowhere, we realize that the marque on the gas tank doesn't amount to anything. We've had fantastic talks about things to see, roads not to miss and meals to eat with riders of ALL brands at camp sites, rest stops, diners, etc.
Riders - real riders - do share that unspoken bond, I believe. We have an attitude of exploration and adventure that most people in cages and cubes have long since lost a basic human drive for. We know that somewhere, where the lights aren't so bright all the time, and the air is a bit sweeter, there's still adventure to be found in this horribly fast, modern world we've created.
Riders - real riders - are a throwback to another era. We're cowboys. We're explorers. We're mappers and hunters. We're poets and philosophers. We're never content with the routine life that so many people call "a living".
I've yet to meet a rider - real rider - that I haven't found personable and friendly.
In the words of Bon Jovi (well some of them):
Im a cowboy, on a ST I ride
Im wanted dead or alive
Im a cowboy, I got the STOC on my side
Im wanted dead or alive
