We here at Biker Bay thought we would share some insights of life on the road.

Motorcyclists, while riding a bike when encountered by other bikers coming from the opposite direction, point out their index and middle finger of their left hand towards the ground. This is a way of expressing respect towards the other motorcyclist. It’s our way of saying, “Hello! Keep the rubber side down, and chrome side up keep both wheels on the ground”. It signifies that the rider is wishing the fellow rider to stay safe and ride safe. Though there are many mysterious talks around the traditional biker wave, but let’s leave it for some other day. Also seen are many variations of rider wave, which all interpret into different ways of wishing goodness to other riders. 

So whenever you cross paths with a motorcyclist, raise your hand to greet him with a two-finger biker wave. Let’s bring the community closer.
