Progressive's survey also finds that ninety-five (95) percent of all riders acknowledge their fellow bikers while riding. Waving is the preferred method of acknowledgement (37 percent), although Harley riders are nearly twice as likely to acknowledge other riders by pointing two fingers down (29 percent versus 16 percent).

Is there a story behind the two-fingers down? I've gotten that before from fellow-bikers, but I wasn't sure whether they were flipping me off. :-)

Lol, don't pay attention to Joe. It means literally "Two wheels down" It's bad when the wheels are up.
