I very rarely run into people not waving. I think twice this year. One of those I'm pretty sure was shifting so only one really.

A few weeks back I passed a huge group ride, must of been a mile of bikes. They all waved, first time I had to stop waving to shift 4 times. lol

Sometimes if my wife is on the back and the road is rough I don't wave, its not always people being jerks.

He's probably scared to let go of the bars for fear of falling into the rear tire!

I was surprised tonight, I got several waves from guys (or gals) in the far lane of a 4 lane divided road. I've noticed that those who will wave, if they can't for one reason or another they will nod.

I started playing a game with him. When I see him a flinch and turn away like I'm afraid. And we have the sturgis crowd coming up (or past dont care). Seems most of them on the road if the bike isnt trailered wont wave unless your on a big overpriced twin.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!
