G'day, how do you do?

In the biker world it’s customary to acknowledge other riders with some sort of wave or nod or if you’ve got an overabundance of testosterone a “waving wheelie”, apparently

I'm amused because the waving thing was originally just to flag another biker that there was a cop ahead. Now no one can tell shit since everyone does it. It's not like I wave to other people in cars.

Actually, a tap on the helmet is the universal motorcyclists sign for a LEO (law enforcment office) ahead.

I've seen that too. Not sure which one actually came first though. There's probably varying opinions on that one depending on who you ask though. *Shrug*

I'm just in the habit of not removing my hands from the handle bars at high speeds. :)

Now isn't being a motorcyclist a cool thing? I need to buy new tires :(

BTW: sport bikers put their hand out to the side because they are leaning forward on their motorcycles. To do a little princess wave we would need to sit straight up, which the bike was not designed for.
