When you pass someone on a bike you put the two fingers out to the side. We also have a hazard sign, if you pat the top of your helmet, it tells other riders they may heading into a hazard such as, pants road surface, police speed trap, slow moving traffic etc.

In Belgium, when riders wave at each other, they do a scooping motion, whilst getting the hand as close to the road as possible, It is pretty cool actually.

Some other nations stick a leg out.

It's all cool, it's all about kindred spirits.
Thanks buster that is the kind of answer I was looking for, and to you others that have answered reguardin what the wave means to you.
