Waving Etiquette

On my first "real" motorcycle ride yesterday, I was surprised to find that nearly every single motorcyclist waved to me. It's not a true wave, it's more of a "point at the ground with your left hand". I felt like a huge tool doing it at first, but after I got over that I was a ground-pointing machine!

I did find, however, that I'm apparently not supposed to wave to guys on choppers. Those are the only ones that didn't wave back.

Does this mean that surly old men on motorcycles are friendlier than roadies? I think it does.
