Yes ,they have some kind of belief that they're more serious bikers than the rest. It's a hand-me - down view from the "Filthy Few" and the "1% ers". A bit adolescent really. Theyre not worth bothering about. I know riders who will never stop to help them when their fashion accessories have a problem by the road. Even then, some people have done big (RTW) trips on these machines.
I find that the French are the most wavy/friendly, and the Germans seem surprised sometimes if you wave..they dont seem to expect it. Moroccan kids wave like mad from the roadside - they seem to imagine we're all Paris/Dakar.
After the 1000 aside battles on Brighton beach between Mods and Rockers, there is still the habit not to wave at scooters. A folk memory!
I'd say too that a nod of the head isnt always easy to see, or a wiggle of a few fingers.
