Gentlemen,
I give a low hand wave to all other riders regardless of what they are on and virtually everybody returns it. In the rare cases they don't, I assume they didn't see me, are in a turn and it wouldn't be safe, or just aren't comfortable with such behavior for whatever reason. All are perfectly acceptable. I don't acknowledge other riders because I expect a response, I do it to salute the bond that all riders share. Riding, boating, flying, skydiving, scuba, and a bunch of other activities each form a brotherhood of passionate individuals and a sense of community that I enjoy. That gesture takes about one second and it communicates, "Good to see you out here, have a great day bro." That's my take on it.
