That biker just waved at me! What do I do!
a) Wave back.
b) Give him your lunch money. c) Give him an obscene gesture and at a blistering 45 mph (72 kph) away. d) All of the above. e) Beat up the biker and take his/her ride. An email got me thinking. Why don't we scooterist wave back? My reply is here: http://2smallerwheels.blogspot.com/2...-scooters.html Comment, send love/hate mail. whatever.

Every biker I see extends their arm and gives me a sideways peace sign. So that's what I've been doing back.

I don't usually get the wave from people on motorcycles, but sometimes get it from scooterists. Always wave back!

Wave, but keep your arm low, no "Howdy Doody" waving. (ya don't wanna look like some total geek)

Ha.. I was actually telling my wife how cool it was that scooterists in my area all seem to be in an unwritten brotberhood. I must have passed/seen 10 or more scoots out and about in the 2 hours I spent running errands. Out of those 10 or so sightings, 6 of them offered a meep or a thumbs up. 10 of 10 would be great, but we gotta start someplace.

Only place I'm not waving is at the departure. For a motorcycle that means clutch work.

I wave to everyone unless I'm holding the clutch then I just nod. Mist everyone except sportbike fanboys, wave back...
