Seriously though, that's a good question. I've had a rider in front of me do the over the shoulder peace sign.
Are you sure he was using two fingers...

I generally wave whether they wave back or not....I don't care.........

If I'm in my pickup truck I always get waved at from other guys in pickup trucks.......but never in my Honda Civic???

Must be a macho thing??

Those sportbike idiots could have scared you or your daughter to the point she could have lost her balanced. I still don't understand these people why they think they are trying to impress themselves.....must be a short-comings of inadequacy of sorts

If someone did that to me with my daughter or son on the back I'd try to get their tag number and call the State Police........punks!!!

If I'm cruising at a steady pace and pass another doing the same, I'll wave. If either of us are busy with our hands, such as shifting during acceleration/deceleration, stopped and holding in the clutch, turning, or anything other than straight line cruising, I don't wave. I know the times that it's difficult for me to wave so I recognize when it's difficult for others to wave. Driving my bike comes first. Waving comes second. So I wave accordingly.
