sbutcher Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 What are the friendly hand wave signals mean as 2 bikers pass by each other in opposite directions? I researched it on Google and came up with this:_________________________________________One finger pointed down - Harley owner (#1)Two fingers pointed out and/or down - V TwinTwo fingers up - Peace (No animosity)Two fingers out - Rider BrotherhoodPalm out and down - Cruiser waveTight fist no higher than shoulder - Vet to Vet wave, also Black to Black Sports Biker waveFinger pointed out and held toward other rider - I know you or we share some incredibly obvious in commonFingers up while heel rests on grip - Common Sports Bike wave, Cruiser wave if not sure to commit or notHand up with palm facing out - Scooter/Moped waveGranny Clampett wave with arm high and palm wagging back and forth - Gold Wing and/or new rider waveDead End wave - Hand hanging down below knee - Was going to wave but... 1) you didn't wave first, 2) you don't have a bike equal to mine, 3) didn't meet enough "cool" criteria to continue the wave.Thumb Up - Looking good or a positive reply (I'm OK) (Derogatory sign in Australia and New Zealand according to my friends from there, implies buggering)OK sign - A question (Do you need help?, Are you OK?) Left thumb repeatedly jerked over the back of your head - Telling someone blocking the passing lane or on a cell phone to get the hell off the road to the right (done after passing the intended target and riding where you can be clearly seen)One finger salute - Middle finger held high to imply feeling of negativity toward another_____________________________________________________Any other meanings?

cbrbrent Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I know the one finger salute. USE IT TO OFTEN TO CAGERS THAT DONT PAY ATTENTION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollectorDave Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yeah, I'm familiar with the 1 finger salute to cagers. It's sometimes tempting to just ride up to 'em and kick their mirror off the cage since most of the time it's obvious they don't use the danged thing.

I researched it on Google and came up with this:blah blah blah_____________________________________________________Any other meanings?No. Two fingers for keeping two tires on the ground or shiny side up. Flat hand or other variation waves are OK as well, as long as the waving gesture is given. No other meanings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 It's just conversational, don't flip out.Whoa easy there HulkI wasn't flippin out, just sayin, its just a wave man. There is no hidden meaning.It's no different than people that drive jeeps wavin or noddin to each other,or people with bikes on top their cages wavin/nodding to each other, its justacknowledgement of each other by two people that have a common interest.
