As far as who waves to who, I've noticed some of the same things going on, but have also noticed a higher percentage of Harley riders waving to me now....is this because I'm on a UJM now? Or has everyone started to accept each other in this day and age?
I normally do not wave first any more, as I feel odd when I wave and they don't wave back....
Any thoughts?
I don't like to wave at all! but will wave if someone wave at me. It is difficult to raise the hand off the handle bar when I am in high speed or in a curve, it can be dangerous. I now lift my palm of the handle bar to greet someone instead of take it off. I am thinking of painting my glove on palm side white, so when I lift up my palm, they see that I return the greeting, or I just nod.
yesterday, there are hundred of HD on the other side of the HWY, they see me and all raise their arms enthusiastically at me, I greet them by raising my whole arm up for 10 sec or so at 70 MPH, it is quite windy -
)) there are certain code of conduct in motorcycling, riders tend to acknowledge and greet each others. yesterday, an BMW passed by on same direction, the passenger, a little girl turns and give a smile, my heart melts.
