Hi, welcome to the forum. We accept all even people from that part of the world.
On the subject of wave. I am not bothered if they are rude. I wave in gratitude when a motorist sees me and moves over to let me pass on double whites.
I especially appreciate, and I reciprocate, when people stop or slowdown to check on you... just in case they can help. I had a stupid brain fade, a senior moment, when i ran out of fuel on the Goldwing (broken fuel gauge). Only the younger sports bike guys looked up asked (thumbs up or down) and disappeared in the distance when I give them all ok.
Funny, the next day the glove was on the other hand. A young guy and his girlfriend were out of fuel and I was able to help.
The weekend riders here come a a number of flavours:
a. middle aged, all new HDs and leathers cruising around and ignoring all... I suspect that they are all executives by day and on the weekend ride their garage queen and could not be bothered,
b. serious bikegang or wana be gang riders... they are just too cool for waves etc. You know the ones... tattoos and t-shirts, leather vests on a HD.
c. younger set on crotch rockets etc. who not only wave/nod but are happy to help. I like those guys.
