In the old days you would never pass another biker without given them the good old wave but this practice seems to be dying out. So do you still do this?
Do You Greet Other Riders

Riders still do it around here.
I have found our side this practice seems to be almost lost and when you do get a greeting then it turn out the ride is more the older riders and very old school with their bikes as well.
The "wave" is still alive and well around here.
I always wave, especially towards learner riders, I just hope that by me doing that, then they feel part of the wider motorcycling community that they are now apart of. The HD chaps don't wave at all over here, they unfortunately don't want to lower their standards to wave to us lesser riders. However on the continent they wave, France and Germany are the best places to ride ( Oops going of topic here ) for a response. I do wave to car drivers too, no prizes for guessing what type of wave that comes into force when they upset me.
That looks like a "permanent wave" - but I thought that was only something found in a beauty salon

I thought it was a standard accessory on Goldwings.
Everybody waves around here except some of the crotch rocket riders.
If I'm in a situation where both hands are busy controlling the bike, I will often head nod too.
Yup. Wave all the time, unless like Rocky stated, both hands occupied, then a nod will have to suffice.
