If you haven&rsquo;t ever ridden one on the roads, you may not have noticed. When motorcycles pass each other in opposite directions, they usually give each other what I&rsquo;m calling the motorcycle wave&hellip; each rider drops his left hand to wave to the other below the handlebars.</p> <p>I realize that my scooter is far from being a motorcycle, but it doesn&rsquo;t look like a typical scooter, either. I guess the larger wheels make it look somewhat like a motorcycle to motorcycle riders approaching from the front, because I get the motorcycle wave fairly often. It&rsquo;s such a simple thing, but it adds a lot to the experience. I&rsquo;m more and more convinced that I&rsquo;m going to end up with a real motorcycle at some point.</p>
