I recently acquired a '96 M900 which I am really enjoying. The other day I was riding and a guy going the other way on a standard of some kind (couldn't tell the make) "waved" at me with a fist. He didn't shake it just held it up like he was saying "solidarity" or something. I've never had anyone give me a fist before; 5 fingers, 1 finger salute, peace sign yes, but never a fist. So I was wondering if there is a super seceret squirell Ducati wave. . .and is it a fist?

Do tell.

You have to remove both hands from the bars and quickly simulate the Desmo valvetrain while screaming the Italian national anthem.

Ok, just kidding.  No secret wave that I know of and certain people just feel like waving in different ways.  I've done the following:

Nod (couldn't remove any hands)
Foot stuck out (see ^^^)
Peace sign (my fave as riding for me is really relaxing and peaceful)
Thumbsup (usually reserved for a nice bike)
Full hand open wave (no particular reason)

In my 15+ years in the saddle, I'm just glad people wave at all.  If they do anything funny or odd I just figure that's how they roll.

Yeah, kinda. It's sometimes nice to have exclusivity. . .and to recognize and appreciate the tastes of others. I have a Suzuki VStrom & there is kind of a secret wave w/ those so I thought maybe the fist guy was doing his thing.

Great! Now I'm going to be worried about my wave  bang head

I just raise a hand, drop a hand, point, wave , foot stuck out...
I don't ever pay attention to what the other guy does.



Wait, not true.  I had a guy fly past me on the freeway out in the middle of BFE one day & shot me the bird. So I returned the favor by reminding him that if your gonna pass a 1098s & do that you better be going very fast (on what I don't know).
So, I rolled up beside him and blew the asshole a kiss.   Kiss

Qfactor, You posted while I was.  Was that you?   laughingdp

I get that alot from the ladies.

Unfortunately I don't think it's for L-twin though...     Undecided

That would be kinda awkward. . .unless it's an "L" towards you and a backwards L to the other guy.

Wasn't there a list of hand signs on TOB for different messages (like 'cops', 'danger' etc.)

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

Late July, just before the entire country goes on vacation.  Did you get the memo?!?
