So if I wave at people can I act like a superior asshole to people that don't wave too?

Superior asshole? I certainly wasn't the one bragging about how long I had been riding and that it justified my stuffiness and unwillingness to acknowledge a fellow rider who might be lesser than myself.

Lot of work to drop your hand off the bar and stick a finger or two out.... :rolleyes:

I never said I didn't wave. Actually, I do. I'm just sick of it. So now do I get to be a smug assbag about it as well?

I try not to. Don't care if anybody likes it. I'm on the same page as Sean. "Wow, we both have motorcycles..."

There are dozens of threads about waving on every motorcycle forum and usually people complain about those that don't. I've noticed something though especially with cruisers.
Most cruiser riders wear black jackets with black gloves. I usually initiate the wave (due to my obvious superiority) and those that appear not to wave are usually just raising a couple of fingers from their grip. Black fingers against a black background going 50+mph is hard to see from the other side of the highway.
I've rarely ever had anyone not wave if I waved first. I have noticed a lot of younger riders and just a few older riders look at me like they think something is wrong ahead or think something is in the road and I'm pointing at it but, most get it.
Next time you wave, look at the hand to see if they finger-waved (the good kind) or ignored you. I think a lot more wave than is realized but for whatever reason they don't want to take their hand off the bar.
