I haven't heard about Jeep owners waving. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I've never seen anyone waving. I know that street bikes acknowledge each other.

We have had a couple of Jeep Wranglers and other Jeep Wrangler owners do the wave too.

Most old English sports car owners wave (Triumphs, MGs etc.) I think that is where the "wave" actually originated. I had a Triumph in Calif in the late 50s and every sports car driver waved...

I used to ride a GXS-R super sport bike and I noticed that the Harley riders didn't really like to wave to the sportbike crowd. Just like in the Vette, I always waved, but I hardly ever get one in response. Am I still doing something wrong here? I never get a wave back.

Most of the waves from the Jeep owners are the one's that have the CJ's etc. I had a fully restored '76 CJ7 before the vette and got waves from others all the time. Just a much better feeling getting the wave in the vette though!!!

I think it is a Wrangler thing. My wife has a Wrangler and jumped on me once when I was driving it for not returning a wave from another Jeepster, Cherokees don't count.

And of course, all bikes.

I have a Harley, two actually, and I wave at sport bikes, trikes and even mopeds. That said, I find that when I'm in the Vette a lot of sport bike riders wave and, of course, I return the wave.

Default Waving

I've got a Vette and my husband has a Jeep Wrangler - and we also have a Harley. So we're waving all the time....

We forget when we are in our Chevy Avalanche and wave at Vettes and Jeeps all the time and they just kinda look at us confused?!?

The majority of older bikers will wave at each other no matter what brand they ride. Kids on "crotch" rockets will just run over you.

Keep the wave whatever you're driving!

A buddy of mine at the FH bought a Honda Oddesy van after I bought my Vette.

He is trying to get other Oddisy drivers to wave but so far has only gotten flipped off
