I have a question. Even though I know that by asking, I am revealing my own ignorance & nerdiness.
I do not ride motorcycles. We had a dirt bike when I was a kid, but beyond that I have never had any desire to ride one. Not that I have anything against those that do – I just don’t. I am a natural-born klutz. I’m pretty sure if I ever did get on a motorcycle I would end up dead or disfigured within a matter of seconds. And nobody wants that.
But here is my question; Why do all bike riders wave at every other bike rider on the street?
- Is there some sort of “code”?
- Is it an acknowledgement of membership in a secret society of motorcycle enthusiasts?
- Is it just some weird bike-riding etiquette that the rest of us aren’t supposed to understand?
I mean, I don’t feel the need to wave at other pickup truck drivers.
I just don’t get it.
Maybe that’s another reason I don’t ride motorcycles… No, it’s mostly that klutz thing.
