Wave at them first. I always wave or nod at scoots. Usually they are too stunned to respond. That's a shame. Let's have a bit of solidarity with two-wheelers. They are probably more vulnerable on the road than we are.

sometimes I wave at cagers... but I usually don't have time to use all of my fingers. :laughing:


I digress... I agree with SV here. Wave even if they don't wave back. We two wheeled vehicle powered by fossil fuel riders gotta stick together.

I wave at anyone on 2 wheels. I usually get a few surprised looks from bicyclists though. :shock:

yesterday I pulled up to a red light and a guy on a scooter pulled up in the next lane... he wouldn't even look my way, I think he was afraid I would sneer at him or something. That kind of tension is just stupid... I was staring him down hoping he would look over so I could wave, or nod, or smile or something to break the tension.

Hell I'd wave at everyone if I didn't have to control the bike all the time.

I've waved at a few scooter riders but they don't bother to wave back. Neither do the dirt bike (dual sport?) riders, come to think of it.

Most others wave, though.

If it's a motorized 2-wheeler, wave.

Like coach said, I wave at anything with 2 wheels and a motor/engine.
