After reading most of this thread I ask myself, "Why not keep one's hands on the bars where they belong and just give a slight nod? Or just not worry about all that stuff?
That said I waved at every single rider I saw today and every single one waved back, lots of Harleys.
I almost missed one guy on a small bike, his headlight was either off or none too bright, but I caught him at the last instant and I think he saw my wave.
There again I was on my ZX-10R, not my CB1100. Maybe that's why everyone waved and several motorists pulled along side so their kids could check out the Ninja and give me a thumbs-up.
True story.
Just thinking there must be an algorithm to calculate the significance of waves, frequency, meaning, and rationale. If not, sure some sharp tack here can come up with one.
