I'm wondering if it is worldwide that motor cyclist salute to oncoming
riders?
In Germany, I think 80 % of the riders do.
Is it a "German thing"?
Or is it a European thing?
Or is it a motor cycle riding thing?!
Don't know if this kind of greeting among bikers has its origin in Europe or Germany. In Germany they use the clutch hand and wave, in more southern countries of Europe they raise the right leg, especially while overtaking. Feels strange to me.
During the main season sometimes too many bikers are out on the road, so I stopp waving, because it would be too often and becomes very akward. Some 2 wheelers are per se out of this procedere. Most of them are mentioned in earlier posts for good reason.
During the rest of the year I seldom, once in a while meet a true biker. Others hardly ride. I greet with respect and mostly get an answer.
