Should I be offended or laugh?

The "waving" threads are getting almost as popular as the "oil" threads. LOL

I wave at all motorcycles and would do so even if I could ID the make of the bike in time enough to execute such. I always wave at trikes and scooters. I wave at kids if their head turns to look at my bike. I sometimes wave at bicyclists. I always wave at police vehicles wherever I am, and at park district vehicles in my town (I am a park commissioner here).

For me, the joy of the wave is in the giving it. Sure, I like to receive a wave back, but I get a small degree of satisfaction in the notion that I just brightened the other person's day.

I do pretty much the same thing
Most HD riders wave back - and sometimes are the first to wave - but I'm not the least bit offended if they don't.
I always give a salute and a nod to those drivers who wait and don't take my right-of-way or cut me off.
The police forces around here aren't heavy-handed and get a salute too.
