I think waving is overrated

[AZRobert]

Has anyone waved at a large group (H.O.G. or even Hells Angels) and if so, does it turn into something like "The Wave" at a sporting event??

I will agree that waving gets annoying especially if a large group of bikes. So I'll not wave all the time.

I wave, but not always the cool down low wave. Often I give a big old Gomer Pyle, forearm going 'tick tock' kind of wave. It gives the wavee something to wonder about for a little bit. :22:

When I ride with the H.O.G. group, usually they last guy or two will wave. Seems like they are waving for the whole group.
When I ride solo, I always wave if not at a big event.

I think for a the next big group ride will just stick this to my windsheild.

I stopped waving a long time ago. So stop waving at me. I won't wave back.

:bigsmiley23: Well that's not being nice.

I wave at everyone. It's rare that someone doesn't return it. I ride in an MC and usually there are anywhere from 5-20+ bikes in our group depending on what we are doing. We all wave.

Being nice has nothing to do with it. I'm simply tired of waving all the time.

The waving thing can get out of hand if it's crowded. I usually try to wave or a head nod if I'm busy clutching during a shift, just being friendly!

I wave at everyone. Harleys, metrics, scooters, real fast bicycles, skateboards, women. I am your worst nightmare.

Add little kids, farmers and almost everyone that waves at me.

OK then... I'll just nod at you.

I too have found at Major Events the wave is lost, But the friendship you make in walking the streets makes up for the wave IMO:s

When in the city, I'll rarely wave. To busy staying out of the way of the cell phone-in-the-ear crowd. On wide open highway, all riders are fair game for a wave, unless there are dozens of them in a group then they all get one loooong wave.

I could see why you may only get the first and last person in a large group waving back. All the rest are concentrating on the bike ahead..:cheers
