And all this time I thought #3 was used by HD riders to catch parts flying off of the bikes! in front of them!  ;)

What about The Nod?
In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man.

I do #5 all the time. At least I don't jump up and down on the seat and wave with both hands anymore.

All this time I've been a Geek.  I just can't bring myself to do the traditional HD wave....  And I guess I've been dissing quite a few riders whilst resting my left hand on my left leg... sigh.

Im more of a cowboy shooter.  (Traffic permitting) a bikes approaching I'll take both hands of the bars and shoot towards them kinda like "bang bang."  OR if its a hot chicka (most of the time NOT, and sometimes the HD riders with long hair confuse me) I'll give em a little, "How you doin"  8)
