Just wondering, 'cause I don't see ANYONE waving at other two wheelers anymore...
Back when I was riding everyday in the late '80s, all bike riders would wave as they passed each other on the road. Didn't matter what you were riding, either, with the exception of the Harley guys, but at least they will wave at each other...
Now, since I've gotten back in the saddle after 25 years, I've given up on waving at other riders. I've gotten perhaps 4 return waves in the last two months. It's so sad...
I am also a Corvette guy...I have two right now. Corvette folks have "The Wave" also, and it is RARE to pass another Corvette without a big ol' wave coming at-choo. It's just fun!
So...did I miss something while I was in riding retirement? Was there a mass memo stating the "Wave" was no longer politically correct or something?
I encourage everyone out there riding to make an effort to Wave at your fellow riders. I'd like to see the tradition continue.
Any thoughts?
