You know I don't think I've gotten more than 1 rover wave, since I've been driving these. 1 guy in a d90 waves, but he lives somewhere nearby ( or he just likes the nearby cafés) he waves every time we pass.
Not like bikes and jeeps....always have to be alert or you could leave someone "hanging"
We do, as a majority, seem to take pride in our "copper ahead" signals and warnings.

I freaking hate that jeep wave thing.


I couldn't agree w you more. You pay for yours...I'll pay for mine...make up lady can pay for hers. Give the money to someone who needs it. No forced appreciation

I never liked the jeep wave either.....just too many of them. Same with bikes, but you have sort out the right ones. I think the Harley crowd keep the hand gestures for each other, for the most.Triumph or BSA leaves you open to get waves from all angles. Crotch rockets and the hogs used to hit me up.

I'm always too scared to take my hands off the handlebars, on the bicycle.
