Tonik Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 ...market your website all in one post!! The below article Is from Bike Bandit, a blog post on when not to wave. They have created a great deal of ill will for themselves at the very end when they say don't wave to trikes/Can-Ams. So the interwebs is mad at them now, at least all the trike/Can-Am people. http://www.bikebandit.com/community/guides/when-not-to-do-the-motorcycle-wave?fb_action_ids=10201954348408060&fb_action_types=og.comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.504 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Man those can am people are pissed. If people don't wave at me, for whatever reasons they have, I promise I won't care. Waving is stupid. Ride for yourself, not other people's approval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I don't wave at trikes... or motorcycles/scooters with training wheels. Not just out of spite (because they aren't REALLY motorcycles), but god forbid they try to wave back and can't manage the multitasking, wrecking in some fiery crash... I'd feel terrible.

Ryan_c_F Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 During deceleration and while I'm actually stopped. Dangerous curves, I may nod if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFlash Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I always wave to Amish buggy's... Yep! Me too. For me, I'm waving becausethey are riding on something that exposesthem to the elements of weather. Farmerson tractors are another target of my wavinghand, just as long as they are not enclosedin an air-conditioned, air-ride, 8-track musicblasting plowing machine. If you are walkingdown the road, carrying a flashlight, I'll likelygive you a wave before I realize it. . .

wagnem10 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'll wave at anything with two wheels and a motor so long as I'm just cruising (not in accel/decel). Not gonna hurt me any, and noticing them on any roadway more than 2 lanes tells me I'm doing my job well at scanning ALL of the roadway ahead of me and not fixating. Call me a noob but I like to have subtle reassurance that I'm not becoming complacent with my riding. I'll wave at those female joggers too, but I might fixate a little too much sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm so over this topic...and people's inability to square up with their own insecurities about scooters, trikes and the like. Wave. Don't wave. Whatever. Being "selective" about your wave? That's just flat out fucking gay. You're a faggot. You should kill yourself.:like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'll wave at anything with two wheels and a motor so long as I'm just cruising (not in accel/decel).That's a whole lot of waving. I can't think of any vehicle that has less than two wheels, so you're waving at everything that goes down the road. Bikes, cars, semis, they've all got two wheels.I don't wave a much of anything. Got tired of it. I'm out to ride my own ride, not acknowledge every other person that rides. Call me cranky, but that's how I roll.Sent while riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Or build a Manx clone... everyone waves. not just a manx, in my sand rail I get waves and thumbs up on mine constantly, I believe there is a psychosis of jealousy, or because its a vw we are just hippies who play in dirt or something. in the buggy people will look at me at the light, take pictures etc, on the bike most people seem to avoid eye contact completely.

JohnG Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don't wave at anyone across the divided freeway. On the two lane I wave at everyone, and I always wave at cops/troopers/deputies... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZ Kari Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm going to take my waving hand and slap my forehead with it for wasting my time reading that whole, incredibly worthless article. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I will wave to anyone, but trikes aren't bikes. The can am things would probably be a fucking riot on a track, but I don't consider them to be motorcycles. I would drift that thing at full lock or toss myself off trying.
