If you do wave, then how?

[BulletTrain]

Hmmm. Looks like the 45 is pretty universal around the country. Now, what are you guys doin' to the Harley riders in yer areas to piss 'em off at ya? They all wave at me around here. Seems all that is required is that you be on two wheels to rate a salute.

Oh, and Pacman... Somehow I believe you when you say you're workin' on the stand up monkey bit, bro!

I've done the peace sign for 20 years..............it started with a guy always doing it to me....so I reciprocated......years later I met him and found out he was just waving normally......but he was missing a few fingers!!!  HAH!!!....on a 'busa it just seems normal to do it low....your hand is already down there!!!!!

"peace"

Hahahahaha... That's too fuggin' funny!

Left hand 2 digets down - 45 degrees. Sounds pretty universal. KCMO

Let's see..Northern Cali---most do the 45*wave with open hand. I personally throw the Hawaii hang loose at everyone at a 45 usually. The Harley boys usually get a raised hand from clutch side like BT did at first. Unless I am on the Harley, then I throw the hang loose at 45*. Been the same for years.

I get the 45* from everyone around here, even the Harley guys. So I do the same back.

Heheh...yeah, I KNOW I should get some responses from that one.

Mebbe if I turn around and pull up alongside them and do that. I wonder if they'll wave then...

Ohio same 45 dagree thang. Howeva is it universal "HAND PATTING TOP OF HEAD" = the "MAN" is ahead and to slow up? Ive seen it used alot with sport bikes but not harley types.

Betta yet, ridin in a group and one wants to change lanes in front of you or turn. Somehow no one here knows what a fuggin turn singal is. They just shove out a large foot in the direction they want to move. Right turn/lane change = right extended foot out to the side real quick. Works well yet learned QUICK!

I can't totally agree with the two fingers but I also do the clutch hand down full hand...

Yep.

I guess I need to video a ride...I can only imagine how it looks with the riders of all the other bikes patting their helmet while "STUNNAH" the man is way out in front...

 

[jwcfbd]

Same thing here. 45 deg down with two fingers.

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

Bouncing up and down like a friggin loon!!! That's what I say!!!

 

[Rob'sBus]

A Columbus, Ohio waver here. Riders in this part of the country, including me, typically wave with the left hand pointed downward.

 

[Haywood]

I have a bit of a variation.. 2 fingers (index and middle, slightly separated, not as much as a peace sign though). But I start at about 45 degrees up, followed by a quick downward flick of the wrist, ending up (or rather down) at 45 degrees. Gotta be unique!

 

[UUBusa]

Harley's/cruisers... I give the 45 and 2 fingers....then the middle finger when they don't wave back :o)

Sportbikes...5 inches up and about 5 inches out with the peace sign....

Busa riders....they get the "Hell Yea, right on" fist...thats looking for the Dap and respect for rider of the bike of bikes.

 

[thunder]

Pretty Much the 45 2 finger Here in Montana.

 

[CorrodedAlien]

lately it has been the "slow Down, the MAN is up there" either head pat or "push down" motion.... Guess they think I'm going too fast.

 

[SatOnJars]

45 2 finger in Wisconsin.

Although last weekend I came across another busa at a 4-way stop, it seemed weird to wave so we just looked at each other and rode off.

I guess I'm the ONLY one that gives a casual "thumb-up" with my left hand. I'm saying "Right on! We're RIDING!!"
