    I hate it when I wave and someone doesn't have the courtesy to wave back, at least nod your head back saying you noticed rather than make me look like a complete idiot waving and not even getting a nod back.

    lol the mystery has been solved!

    Anyways, I NEVER wave or smile at anyone riding or driving an italian motor vehicle, they are snobs just like BMW and Harley riders, I hope they end up with no gas in a lonely road and only then I will wave to them as I whizz-by.

    Don't take it to heart. Remember, maybe they are too focused on riding to even actually realize that you're in the next lane over. I do it sometimes. I'm not even sure why this is up for discussion. Don't get your feelings hurt over this.

    I don't see hands at night with my dark visor, I don't bother waving or looking for waves at night.

    Nice bump on a year old wave thread BTW.

    It's true, sometimes you just can't take your hand off the clutch, and sometimes you notice the wave only after they rode by you. But there is this one guy in Aurora on some sort of a cruiser. And every single time you ride by him, fast or super slow, he deliberately looks away! LOL! such a snob.
    But he's always by him self, clearly he won't find any riding buddies with that attitude. He just amuses me with the amount of effort he puts in to look away haha.
