waving...am i missing something here?

[ICSC]

So just a quick question from a noob...

I ride an f800r, and I've noticed that more riders on sport bikes wave back than riders on cruisers. Is there some kind of rule where we're not supposed to wave to each other??

I got completely shafted by around 10 people on cruisers today!

Thanks!

Cruisers are too big and hard to handle they are holding on for dear life just trying to stay on the road

I wave at all bikes and would say most of the cruisers wave back. Some don't, but who cares just keep waving.

I've just found that a good chunk of guys who ride cruisers are too cool to wave back. Now this doesn't mean that they're **********, as I've had cruisers pull over to help me out anytime I've had problems, but there aren't many of them that do wave. Just a fact of life...why's the sky blue? I dunno it just is.

I ride a cruiser and a sport bike.

I wave to all people on two wheels.


Don't take it personally if some don't wave back. They're not so friendly as you are.

I cant believe I got dissed by a dude on a white honda 125 today, i was in shock....lol, mabey a new rider who was hanging on for dear life, I didnt take it personally.

because your probaly getting shafted by the rich proper people that think there pro cuz they ride a bike.not the true riders...

Noticed it too. I ride a small cruiser. And on my first ride, the first nod I got was from a guy on a big cruiser.

I live in an area where I see more cruisers and none of them nod or wave. Otherwise sport bike riders do wave more often.

are you people this desperate for acknowledgement?

[Rotten_Ronnie]

I am.

The yanks wave at you from the other side on the Interstate, and so do the East Coasters.

If I don't wave it's because I didn't see you or thought you were on a scooter. :P

How come you didn't wave back at me when i was on my bicycle?

This is just crap. It's not the bike, it's the rider. Cruiser riders wave all the time. Now if you catch us returning home after a big meet, we just might be waved out.


So, I have to call BS on this being a cruiser rider issue.

The thing that annoys me when waving is when i accidentally wave to a scooter
They never wave back

[erok60]

Ive just noticed some dont see me wave and thats all. most cruiser riders wave to me and if they dont wave i still get atleast a nod 99% of the time

[Gaoler]

Apparently so...

[Maverickflyer]

I find the same thing, Sport bike riders almost always wave. Cruisers not so much. Do your own thing and don't worry if they don't wave back. They might not of seen you.

[Zaneris]

What I'm thinking is perhaps they're like my gf who almost never notices other bikes on the road, especially if they're travelling in the opposite direction.

"What'd you think of those 4 bikes that just went by?"
"Sorry, I didn't see them."

because they are in shock that someone waved to them in the first place.
