Why do street bikes wave at other street bikes and Cruisers only wave to Cruiserbikers? |
what started this beef... you know what i mean when your riding the universal code is to wave to others with street bikes or wave at cruisers..Where did this dumb *** rule start Back in the 60's and 70's there were only a few of us bike riders. When you saw another rider, you'd give him the solidarity wave (that's the fist in the air) showing you'd be there for him. As such you'd expect him to be there for you as well. It's not a rule but assurance that if you're stranded on the side of the road, I'd pull over to give you a hand, no questions asked. Sometime since the 80's it changed from a fist to a wave. Since bikes are much more reliable and people have cell phones, the likelyhood of someone actually needing a hand is very slim. I still pull over for bikers on the side of the road unless I can see for sure they're ok (like a cell phone or if he waves me off). As to waving, most real bikers will wave to anyone. The newer crop of "bikers" who are accountants, doctors, or computer folk haven't been around bikes long enough to really understand that it's us against all the cagers and not HD riders against everyone. Source(s): I've been riding since the 70's on cruisers, sportbikes and dual-sports and I wave at everyone. ur an idiot. no one does this crap, there is no rule... I ride a Cruiser and wave at everyone, crotch rockets, cruisers, wingers and even scooters. There's no rule, just wave if you feel like it. Share the Love! Do you know why Goldwing riders don't wave back?...can't find auto-wave button. dm_gsxr got it right, I do have to say to some of you though that you wouldn't dis a goldwing if you ever took a long ride on one.
