It's only illegal if you get caught.
If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

As long as waving doesn't interfere with the ride (taking off from a light, turning, adjusting the idle), I'll wave to anyone on two wheels. If they wave back, it's cool. If they don't, it's cool. It IS pretty neat to be part of that "fraternity".
Also, I hardly ever wave when I'm on the freeway. I rarely see the bikes in the oncoming traffic, and I typically have my hands full avoiding cagers in my own traffic. But, if I pull up to another biker in my traffic, I'll flash them the sign.
My son, on his 250 Ninja, just does a little peace sign from the left handlebar. He's much cooler than me.  Luke M

Not a wave. More of a drop of the left hand. Got to look cool! About 75% of bikes give the left hand. Where ever I stop, people want to know what I'm riding. Always friendly people.

I notice that on my cb, I get more waves from harley riders than I do when on my fz.

I take both hands off the bars and wave them wildly in the air above my head.  TOOLS

Most of the people on Harleys do not have enough experience riding motorcycles to feel comfortable enough to remove one hand from the handle bars to wave, so do not take it too personally.

Yeah a lot of hd riders are older men who finally have their first bike.

Next time I'm on a group ride I'm going to try and start a real wave, just like in the stadiums!

You are soooo wrong! You know, I have been in this game for 45 years and never have I seen such a negative nanny, "most" HD owners are lifers and probably less than 10 percent are novice riders... where do you come up with this stuff?
Tool! the name suits you.

Given that many new riders are already 40+, it is very naive to think that all hd riders are lifers. Indeed, many are not and are just getting into the game. Kids out of the house, more money, ect. These people now are buying bikes and many go for that new chrome decked hd and the image that comes with it.
You don't have to agree with me though, or anyone else, but yanking at a person's name isn't the way to have an adult conversation.
Ultimately, the only people that care about your "years" are people that have only been around a couple. I have 30 years, Tools probably has more than me. Does it make us, or you, special? Nope, it just means we have made it this far.

As you will. Everyone has their own opinion but to be honest, if what little Tools does, makes you upset, the internet is NOT the place for you. Any forum, no matter how small or moderated will still require skin thicker than tissue paper. If you don't have that, I suggest you do not visit any forums.
Aside from you maybe being overly sensitive, I really do not see any REAL negativity from anyone, well besides you that is. After all, you did NOT have to post, did you? If you read his replies before joining, you should have been able to tell if it were going to work. None of us forced you to read his or anyone elses posts. You chose to do that. Can't really say anything more than that.
We welcome any new people, so you can't say anyone deliberately tried to piss you off. Sorry to see you go but we don't wear kid gloves on topics, but we do treat each other with respect, online and in person.
