I wave at other motorcyclists when I ride my MV Agusta F4 1000

its kind of like when you drive way out in the country or in a really small town, everybody waves hello to you. the only time i've seen that in a bigger town is when there is a huge snow storm and people have a hard time getting around

Ha, I do see school bus drivers waving at each other. That is cool. Another thing I just realized is 'these days' with the ecomony so bad I think some people are really freaked out about their own situation and they don't take the time to enjoy life and give a wave to others.

The only time I've had this experience was when I used to drive a school bus. Corolla driver don't usually have this kind of love for one another. I need a Porsche!

I still don't see too many Porsches on the road around here (which is a good thing), so i usually give the hand wave when i see one. Bring it back people.

Camaraderie – I ran across that in a crossword puzzle the other day. Really weird spelling. According to dictionary.com you can also use comradery (which is apparently an alteration influenced by comrade).

You learn something every day.

tradition? older cars have older owners who value the porsche brand. A lot of the new buyers use the car as a status symbol…it loses its special place

Just my opinion though.

i come from a bicycling back ground and the same exact thing has happened with cyclists. i "used" to wave at every cyclist i'd pass but 99% of those sob's act like their **** doesn't stink. 3 years ago everybody would wave and say hello. i don't know what's gotten into people but i don't like it. it just seems like the porsche people, they are just "too good" to say "hello"

Ryan,

I currently have a 2009 997 in the garage for the next week (test driving and reviewing) and when I went out on the road today I received only one response to my extroverted attempts at saying hello to my fellow Pcar drivers.

I tried the flash, I tried a wave, I even tried a beep with a wave. Over 150 miles I tried communicating with a number of Boxsters, 996s, Caymans and even a few Cayennes. We were obviously speaking two different languages. The only response I received was from a cop behind a Boxster that thought I was flashing him (not the type of attention I was trying to attract).

I will say that when I'm driving my 993 or my '73 911 most other 993s or pre-impact bumper Porsches return the salute.
