"yea yea yea yea yea yeeeeeaH! (hello kitty wave lol)"
 
I usually ignore scootorists until they "beat me" on their 650 cc scooters...

I once forgot and waved to a biker when I was on my mountainbike. Now THAT was embarrassing.

But seriously, I feel more embarrassed when I "forget" to wave at folks. Waving makes riding all the more fun. More is betta IMHO.
 
wave to this guy

I am a vespa rider, an old school px200 with manual gears (on the left hand). The only time I wave to scooter riders is on the open road, in town it's usually just some kid in shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops and if you wave at them they get distracted and plow themselves into the back of a parked car. On the open road on the other hand I do wave to other scooters, usually because they aren't ridden by kids in flip flops, usually they are larger scooters ridden by people like myself who love the vespa style, or have ridden bikes and actually know what the hell a wave is!

I wave to all motorbike riders on the other hand, and get about a 99% return wave rate. I like to think that this is because I have a real scooter, old school with gears that reminds people of why scooters are fun to ride in the first place.

For some reason in the sates it sounds like HD riders never wave to scooters but sports bike people tend to a little. In new zealand it's kinda different, HD riders are the ones who wave to you, see what your riding and turn around to chase you down to spend 30mins asking you everything about the scoot. Sports bike riders on the other hand are too busy hanging on for dear life and trying not to get themselves killed. Never had a HD rider not wave back to me, most sports bike riders over here just give the "nod".

But really, in the end of the day, we are all on 2 wheels, we are all riding an inch from death, and we are all enjoying ourselves and having a good time. Some people like scooters, some like HDs, some like sports bikes, they are just different flavors of the same milkshake. :ride
 
I dont get it....
Arent you the same fool that posted the stupid thread about Harley riders wearing too much gear?
Now this lame ass post.
I dont care what you ride...just that you ride....
But you are in my book a TOOL...no matter what your ass is sitting on.

I always wave to anyone on an old vespa or lambretta.

I never wave to anyone on a "people" scooter.

stop me if you've heard this one before!

" Uncontrolled waving a serious problem"....Dr. Phil

Some motorcyclists wave at everything from other bikers to scooters, bicyclists, even unicycles if they can find one.
Prolonged and expensive counseling proves to be of little help.
Corrective lenses do help certain bikers distinguish between scooters and motorcycles.
Unfortunately, these same impulsive bikers often continue their indiscriminate waving.
Uncontrolled waving, like smoking , is addictive and causes great embarrassment to the waver and his family.
What to do?
Fortunately, the Pope addressed this problem when he visited the AMA motorcycle museum in Ohio last week. The Pope suggests daily prayer, preferably in the kneeling position, prior to every ride.
Hope this helps those who are plagued with this infectious and often contagious condition.

That's funny!

But, I DO wave at almost anything on two wheels when I'm out on the road. I get the most return waves from Harley types.
Sport bikers return about half my waves.
Scooters are different, the few I've seen waaay out have waved, I tried waving to the ones around town act like they don't know what you are waving about.
BMW guys usually wave. Sometimes. Then, sometimes I think they are a lot like the scooter riders.

Too bad Dr. Phil had to stick his nose in this topic. I don't see anything wrong with waving. I don't like Dr. Phil and I'd like to knock his turkey ass out. Hell, Oprah don't even like him anymore.
 
I don't know what you're talking about... half of the scooter riders I waved to wave back. Just like when I'm on the road, half of motorcycle riders I waved to wave back. Or half the motorcycle cops I waved to wave back.

Don't feel foolish. Keep it up. :)
 
When I realize I just waved to a scooter, I quickly shove my "waving hand" into my pocket.

Just like I caught myself committing a crime.
