I think the reason for it is to not confuse it with hand signals. Like holding your hand up means turning left and holding it straight to the left means left. So they do to the left and down to avoid confusion. (You may have to use these if your lights stop working but you need to keep driving anyway)

@littleshopofelectrons4014 Год назад

I got my first bike in 1967 and have been riding since (no HDs). I think this motorcycle wave is a relatively new thing. I don't really remember seeing it until the early 1990s. Then, at first, it was only between HD riders. Eventually it spread to all riders. I don't like to take my hands off of the handlebars so the most that I might do is lift a single finger from my left hand.

@ddennis669 Год назад

That is what I remember too, having first seen the two finger, pointing downward wave from riders with really high ape-hanger style handlebars. (Earlier than the 90's though.) If your hand was up on high bars you couldn't raise it to wave, you would bring it down. On "normal" bars you just lifted your arm and waved.

@JPTulo Год назад

I’ve wanted a bike for 35 years. On my ride home from picking it up I got “the wave” from another rider and I nearly laid the bike down out of excitement and confusion on how to reciprocate. In the end, a subtle nod was all I was able to muster. Hopefully he saw my temp tag. Dang squid🤦‍♂️

@samuelfitzsimmons8907 Год назад

I remember one time when I was riding my 1996 Honda rvf400 I past a Harley and did the two fingers pointing down ( meaning keeping two wheels on the ground) essentially ride safe. I fairly certain it’s a common Harley thing atleast here in Australia. But he full on waved me back. I think he likes it hahaha

@rosslangerak8361 10 месяцев назад

The biker wave is a "V" for victory. A lot of US soldiers learned to ride in WWII. When they returned home after the war, they found that the Harleys they learned to ride on were being sold at bargain prices, so they bought one. When they passed other riders of the road, they raised the V for victory, and they probably did raise it above the handlebar. The meaning has been lost over time and has moved out to the side.

@flatlandriver2471 2 месяца назад

Can thank Winston Churchill for popularizing the V for Victory

@magoo.. Месяц назад

Can't tell you how real that advice is- to keep to your own pace and don't be pressured to keep up with experienced groups. I went through this in the beginning. I'm sitting at the first traffic light of a ~100km ride and immediately get left behind. I'm in my first month of riding and sure, my 400 could actually keep up, but can I? I thought to myself, either I go at my own pace, ignoring them completely, and probably end up looking like a p*ssy. OR, I say fuck it, give it my all and ride fast in a constant state of panic and thrill, to show that I "belong". Well against the advice that I had been given and my gut instincts, I tried to keep up with them. Immediately, my good mate who had invited me to the ride, pulled up in front of me, looked at me and waved adamantly "NO, SLOW DOWN". And so that took all the pressure off me. Him and myself rode behind for the entire journey, and to my surprise - every stop we got off at, the rest of the crew came to check on me, congratulate me and cheer me on for my progress through my first long ride. None of them thought I was a p*ssy or anything of the sort. That's something important that you should realise about the biking community as a beginner, the only ones who will put you down for riding like a "p*ssy" are the ones you need to stay very very far away from, before you find yourself sliding down a tarmac to an uncertain fate. Ride to your own ability, enhance that ability at your own pace, and remember that no moment of thrill on a bike is worth a disproportionate risk of peril. A motorcycle is very intimidating. No matter who you are or what bike you get onto, nobody in this community with more than 5 brain cells will think you're a p*ssy, no matter how slow you ride.

I stopped looking at this video after the first 'Mistake!!' I don't need someone to tell me how I should be waving at fellow bikers and if I do the wrong wave then this indicates that I must be a 'beginner'. Surely, this only happens in America, where people all feel that they have to belong to something, a club, or whatever, and obey certain rules, otherwise they fear that they will be ostracised. I like to think that here in England we are more individualistic. I ride alone, go where I want, do what I want and I'll wave whatever way I feel like waving. With both hands, if I feel like it?

@AubMar Месяц назад

yes, I couldn't watch/listen to be told "how" to wave or acknowledge another rider - there are "no rules" we do it as we see fit using our own thoughts and judgement - its not a club or the army where you must salute, come on guys don't make stupid rules unnecessarily, no one needs them!

Not all countries have the same take on the motorcycle wave. Agree you don't wave as if your waving goodbye to your grandma but here in Australia you give a single hand gustier raised up from the handle bar and then back down or a head nod. Then you hope you may get something back but know you wont if its a Harley rider because they dont wave to anybody.

@notslowtube Год назад

Everyone talks like Harley riders think they're too cool (or bad ash) to wave. I think they are just afraid to let go of those ape hanger bars and lose control of an awkward, heavy bike with the headset rattling loose and feet in stirrups like they are about to get an exam from their obgyn. At least that was my experience on a Hog. I've never been cooler than I was that day.

NYET on your waving policy. If you are at a light, holding clutch in, you use your right hand to recognize a fellow squid. You may have to be creative. It's perfectly fine. When I first started riding again, my "waves" were wobbly and uncoordinated. Every experienced rider was there once. It doesn't matter. They think, "Oh, there's a newbe. Just like I do now when I see a rider though a bit wobbly wave. it's cool. He's practicing, it's the least important thing a rider has to learn. They will. Much easier than tight U-turns. It's our "knees in the breeze" that connects us, not how we wave.

Two fingers, one finger, four fingers…I’ve never paid attention to what’s being thrown out there, especially if it’s gloved. I just return the salute or nod if I’m able.

I've started riding not too long ago, but for where I live, I have very limited riding weather so it's gonna take some time before I get better, but my dad has been teaching me, but this year I'm buying my first bike, 06 Buell XB12R, which is from my dad and before I start riding that, I'm gonna be learning how to lean better and ride safe on a lower CC bike he has rather than the bike I'm getting so I don't wreck.

4:43 Woah! Didn't expect a Radiohead reference on a video about driving motorcycle.

@emmajones8715 Год назад

In the UK people rarely wave at all, we are riding on the other side of the road so your left hand is on the outside. We nod, and I love every single nod I get however big or small!!

@barrygattenhof9903 Год назад

Same in Aus Emma,we nod ,or we used to more than today. Too many would be Uber wannabee idiots out there. Personally i will always nod to anyone who does.

@initium5421 Год назад

I always obnoxiously and frantically wave at all Harley/cruiser rides just to solidify they never do the bike wave to anyone but themselves

@michaelgraf3366 Год назад

I was birthed as a street squid by papa Yam way back in 2017 watching these same type videos. Motorcycles are cool.

@GinoLuccio Год назад

I got waved at like that today. First tour of the year too -.-' Felt strange, you're right on the money! Funny af.

"Dont buy cheap aftermarket parts, if your from the car jdm world, your probably used to it" Now that is 100% spot on 😅😅😅 Car scene is definitely much sounder and more understanding than the car scene....and in the car scene is usually cheap aftermarket parts hahaha

@stephen92340 Год назад

Hahaha! The hand wave is so funny, but a good quality topic.

@iteststuff1197 Год назад

This also made me think about when I learned to drive said first bike. I was on roads way back off in the country where I saw one car. Maybe every 20 minutes so it was really good. Place to learn how to drive on a road without mistakes costing you too much 11:02

@username6265 Год назад

I sometimes wave the extremly happy overkill wave to other People just for the fun of it 😅

@memitim171 2 месяца назад

We nod here, although many, including me, have switched to a sideways head tilt, it looks a bit odd but you never stop looking at the road that way. If a dude is coming towards me with 2 fingers down here it means there's a speed camera van up ahead, or some other reason to go slower than normal. When I was learning they put a ton of emphasis on what's behind you, and that is important, but don't get too wrapped up in that and forget that you aren't going to crash into what's behind you, it sounds silly but you see it happen.

10:49 I made ever one of these mistakes and I felt conmutting to my workplace hahaha I got my knee awful hit...but now I'm trying to improve my shifting and speed management with every travel :)

@Zen-jw5dy Год назад

Hey Yammie, I know this video is old, but your topic of motorcycle boots got me curious. I often wear Army Issue black leather jungle boots from the 80s-90s, am I cool to keep being poor and wearing them or should I genuinely just upgrade to the boots?

@fullthrottle2008 Год назад

Depends on the country. Casual nod in the uk but noticed it’s getting used less and less. In France it’s not uncommon for someone on the opposite side of the motorway standing on the pegs pointing and tooting their horn to say hello to a fellow biker 🤣

@steamandoil7026 Год назад

I also like the stand on the foot pegs “gold wing howdy” when I’m on my 12.4 hp crf230l

@Ghostchocobo Год назад

Pigeon holing is important as everyone goes through it. I was a diehard sport bike fan and have now settled on the cruiser life. Less tickets and license losses. alot of viewers criticise you for " judging every bike by performance " but miss the other points you bring up

@foxfirevalleyvineyrd Год назад

I don't care how riders wave at me, I'm just glad they do. :)

@David-lr2vi Год назад

Guess we’re all noobs here in Australia then cause we can’t wave below the handle bars!

@rm25088 Год назад

I think the first accessories anyone should buy are frame sliders, swing arm spools, whatever bike protection you can find.

@flesz_ 10 месяцев назад

It makes bike look ugly Especially like royal Enfield 650

@rm25088 10 месяцев назад

@@flesz_ on some but not all. If it protects even just a little, I don't care.

For being an "Outlaw" lifestyle - there sure are a bunch of silly rules

@steve00alt70 Год назад

In the UK we put up 1 finger while the rest is on the left clutch handle bar. Because we drive on the left so we cant take our right hand off the throttle to wave.

I gave the rider wave on a bicycle once. The guy had a good laugh. Mission accomplished.

@allan_nightmare Год назад

As a sadist i simply cannot wait to make everyone feel super awkward by normie waving thank you for letting me know i can cause suffering in others merely by waving my hand like a giddy cheerleader

@TheHoovercm Год назад

You know what are things to avoid? People on RU-vid that have the correct f#$%^ng way to do EVERYTHING! Good on the guy for waving ever the heck how he wants to! And he probably doesn't care what anybody thinks either! And I like that!

@bobbledsoe9986 3 месяца назад

After 64 years of riding I still wave above the windshield, so I'm pleased to learn I'm still a beginner.

@OutlawCaliber13 Год назад

I wear the same cowboy boots I wear riding horses. lol

@JustAGuyYaKnow42 Год назад

I'm going to see what happens when I start "ice cream truck" waving to other motorcyclists. The fact that I never tried this before reassures me I really should be riding.
