Waving is somewhat situational. I rarely wave on the highway but often on 2 lane roads unless I'm turning, braking, or accelerating. So I'm probably waving less than 1/3 of the time.

I wave at every bike, I ride a Harley but I don't own any Harley clothes, so I guess I'm not normal.

Way to go! I rode that just a couple of weeks ago. When I was younger, a lot of Harley riders completely disparaged other bikes. Almost the same attitude that a lot of riders have for Chinese bikes today. I agree "enjoy yourself on two wheels."

I have been riding Harley’s for the past 3 decades. My last sports bike was a 2001 CBR929RR. So I wave to all bikes, including scooters. Some Harley riders won’t wave to other Harley riders, some sports bike riders won’t wave to Harley riders… that’s my experience

On two-lane roads, or four-lane without a middle divider, greeting your fellow riders comes naturally. Greeting them across a center divider however feels unnatural, and not something I experience on a day-to-day basis. There will be the odd one, but most don't greet across dividers where I ride. So, I'd say you were lucky to get that many. Now, the real test would be if you hold back and they greet you first, or whether most are waiting for you to make the first move.

I ride a Sportster 48. It's the only bike I've ever owned, and ever wanted to. I love it. I wave at every bike I see. I haven't gone all "super Harley rider" with all the clothes and branding. I have my own thing going on, and that's just how I like it. Ride what you like, enjoy it, be safe, and keep the rubber on the road.

While I think we just notice it more when a person on a completely different kind of bike doesn't wave, some Harley guys are snobs. I ride a CF-Moto V5. Lots of chrome on the front, blue plastic covering everything else. Its not all that unusual for a Harley rider to start to wave at me, only to quickly jerk his hand back. Funny to watch.
