firebirdt Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Sorry for the dumb question but im new. I just got a bike not to long ago and have been riding around and every person on a bike that I see waves.But they kinda put there hand down to there side when they do it.I was just wondering if this is just a wave or if it means somethin. And is there anything other signs/signals/waves that other riders will be doing that I should look for? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 The finger is always a good one to look out for. It's Just a wave, it's like saying, "Whatsup" as you pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 its a bike thing.. all bikers do that to each other... its like being in a frat or something.. that is the universal wave everyone does. welcome to a new world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 You could learn all of the signs but you have to join the bike gang first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I tap the top of my helmet if there is a cop. Some know it, some probably dont. You occasionally get the prick who is too cool to wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I give the wave to just about every bike I see. The ones who dont wave, are always the Harley riders. I do the tap on helmet thing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 A decent read about 'the wave'. http://www.ekho.com/elton/PC800/The%20Wave.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinHawk1647545499 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 yes a freindly bike thing, if you dont wave or wave back, they are allowed to turn around and shoot you. No-lie, so be curtious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man of Steele Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 always wave or be kicked in nutts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 You will notice that sport bike riders almost always wave but Harley riders rarely wave back to sport bike riders. Not sure why.... The wave is all about two wheels, that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
