Does anyone else get SO SO excited when they get a biker wave? I'll be riding, probably being ticked off about one minor inconvenience or another, and my day is instantly better after waving to a fellow motorcyclist

I did the same. I think it's the "fresh noob" response to the biker wave. Also, I felt super tall on my first bike (ktm1190 adv) and was scared to lean because I thought my upper body would cross the center line of the road lol.

I still remember my 1st.. naturally my dad had taught the meaning when I got my license and my very own 125cc Yamaha DT as my first ride.. actually what I did on my 1st 2 days, I ripped the maps out of the phonebook and decided to drive every street in my hometown^^ Yep.. thats how it was done back then^^ But after clearing one section of town.. I got on the main road and then a Yamaha FZR1000 driver gave me a greeting.. really made my day :)

For your next video, it would be so helpful if you could discuss LEDs on helmets or under glows on motorcycles. I would love to know what colors are legal and if I’m able to do “rainbow” LED lights. I am sure other people would find a video like this helpful as well.

Hardly any of these apply in the UK, or most of Europe to be fair. There really should be a universal set of signals taught when you take your test, they really can save lives.. I have to say though.

I haven't seen that bikerwave before, in Sweden it's usually just a wave. I haven't ever gotten waved at by a "real" biker (as I drive a scooter, the most I've gotten is a cross moped driver giving me the finger for no reason). I HAVE however had kids wave and scream-ask me for a rev... .. and that's when the reality of my 19 year old, dodgily maintained Yamaha Aerox 50cc from '04 kicked in, and I gave them the *weakest* rev (i tried, though!). Sorry, kids.

Hand gestures which duplicate the signaling devices (brake & turn signals) are unwarranted and diminish safety during a group ride because they take longer to effect and be interpreted.
