Bike snobs

Bottom line...you don't wave, you're being rude. End of story. If you're fine with that then that's your problem. But it's rude, plain and simple.

OK...that's just bullshit. If I happen to be paying attention to some dumbass cage driver that's trying his damnedest to kill me and don't feel like jeopardizing my already compromised safety to wave to you, it's not being rude. It's being a smart rider.

Or maybe I've chosen not to wave because, big surprise, there's other things out there in the world to pay attention to besides you and your waving little hand. Maybe I didn't see you. Maybe I'm looking at the instruments on the bike. Maybe I'm watching the deer on the side of the road that you didn't see because you're too busy waving to all your "brothers".

If your little butt hurts because of that then you need to reassess your priorities while riding.

End of story. Plain and simple.

I guess since I drive a pickup I have to start waving at every pickup I pass..... this thread makes me want to flip off everone who waves at me while i'm on my bike, just because I now know it chaps their ass when I dont wave back.

Well you can justify it however the hell you want, it's goddamn rude. If you're not a good enough rider to wave safely then I suggest riding on less populated roads. I ride safely and I wave...why can't you?

Oh that's right, because you don't care about being rude to other riders. I guess you'll just keep on thinking I'm stupid for waving at you an I'm gonna keep on thinking you're a rude asshole for not waving.

So, in your mind, there is absolutely no justification not to wave at someone while riding? That's really quite astounding.

Furthermore, you apparently didn't read the entire thread. Or maybe you can't comprehend what others are saying. Like this:

Having said that, I usually wave, but rarely initiate it.

If you can't understand that someone might not wave for a variety of reasons you're not a safe rider. Or a smart rider. Or maybe you're just too close-minded to even attempt to see the other side of an argument.

Whatever...

Maybe this will make your mangina feel a little better:

This simplistic statement reeks of immaturity, inexperience and naïveté. It would be kinda cute, if it wasn't moronically sad.

The wave is gay IMO but do what you do

I rode sport bikes (had 2 stolen, the other I sold to start saving $$$ and it got stolen from the buyer 3 days later lol, they found it in mexico the next week amazingly) and in Cali, 98% of everyone waved back, including the harley riders. When someone didn't wave back, they were usually a harley rider, fat, old, with long grey hair and a "F you, sportbike rider" attitude. They'd stare at you and not wave. Real tough!

Waving, after a while get's to be a pain in the ASS! To many bikers, got tired of it after a bit... Don't feel snubed Harley guys don't always wave to Harley guys...

Lot of "sensitive" members. Don't wave, your just plain rude and a meany. We should know what kind of vehicle you drive, this way we can wave at everyone. If not would we be rude? Really, what age demographic are you in?
Look either you do or don't wave, flip off or just ignore another rider. I see one on the side of the road i slow down, or pull over if they need assistance. I've never been bent out of shape because someone didn't wave to me. 38 years in the saddle and i don't sweat the light shit.
YMMV
