Biker waves!!!
Hi y'all!
Question:
Driving around town here I seem to get lot of waves from guys on bikes.
Harleys, Hondas....the cruisers....not the crotch rockets.
Do you guys get them? I always wave back....Hell...I'm a **** for wavers...anybody waves to me gets a wave back.
Should I wave to them first??????
I have owned a few bikes and understand that bikers ALWAYS wave to other bikers.
Didn't know that bikers also waved to Vettes!!!!
as far as I'm concerned!

I have never heard of them waving to eachother, but I like the idea of it

I've been waved at by bikers when I'm driving the 69 but never in the 93.

Lots of bikers own or have owned Corvettes in the past. I have had them nod at me but not too many of them wave.

Whenever I'm riding one of my cycles and see a 'vette I always wave.

There has been times while on the bike, I started the wave motion, then remembered, "I'm on the bike, don't wave at the cager!!!"
What's really wierd is when I'm driving the wife's van, wave at another van, and get that
disgusted look back from the other driver.
Boy, talk about inconsiderate people in this world.

I've been waved at by bikers on many occasions...especially when in groups. There seems to be a growing bond or recognition between the two groups. I'm easy too...I'll wave at anybody that I see that waves at me...no matter what they drive or ride.

Yep... I do it myself. Harleys and Vettes are as American as you can get.. I'm proud to own and exercise both.

I've had nods and waves from bikers, I always give em back.
New Year's eve in Pasadena all the local car and bike clubs come out to cruise Colorado Blvd, Old Town - we have a captive audience with all the people camping out for the
Rose Parade , you see
-So it's an orgy of nods and waves and big cheesy grins

You'd be surprised. The vast majority of corvettes don't. In fact the only corvettes that ever wave at me are Polo Green late c4's. 4 of them have waved back, but that's it.

Funny - when I'd ride my Kawasaki, I'd get waves from all other bikers EXCEPT Harleys. Now that I'm driving my LT-1 vert, I get waves from Harleys but not other bikers. Must be a US-US and JAPAN-JAPAN thing, I guess...
What I'm really looking for is waves from cute chicks...
