Thumbs Up 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!

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...
