I wave. Simple, really. I just wave,

So what should I do next time? I am leaning towards looking the other way next time I see a scooter coming.

Wave at them first. I always wave or nod at scoots. Usually they are too stunned to respond. That's a shame. Let's have a bit of solidarity with two-wheelers. They are probably more vulnerable on the road than we are.

sometimes I wave at cagers... but I usually don't have time to use all of my fingers.


I digress... I agree with SV here. Wave even if they don't wave back. We two wheeled vehicle powered by fossil fuel riders gotta stick together.

have you stopped taking your medication???

I wave at anyone on 2 wheels. I usually get a few surprised looks from bicyclists though.

haha there is this crazey 30-40 year old hippie guy that runs around on a completly ratted out scooter....its awesome...he flies by me in town all the time...i dont think its street legal...he rides it inthe street on the sidewalk...he is really agile with it...ive even seen him wheelie the thing...ill try and get a pic of him in this thing...its too funny.

yesterday I pulled up to a red light and a guy on a scooter pulled up in the next lane... he wouldn't even look my way, I think he was afraid I would sneer at him or something. That kind of tension is just stupid... I was staring him down hoping he would look over so I could wave, or nod, or smile or something to break the tension.

Hell I'd wave at everyone if I didn't have to control the bike all the time.

I've waved at a few scooter riders but they don't bother to wave back. Neither do the dirt bike (dual sport?) riders, come to think of it.

Most others wave, though.

If it's a motorized 2-wheeler, wave.

Like coach said, I wave at anything with 2 wheels and a motor/engine.
