Do we gotta do the jeep thing?

[Rusty Sheckelford]

I freakin hope not. Having to throw out constant peace signs to every 2-wheeled rando is the main reason I don't wanna buy a bike.

I don't wave like Forest Gump but I simply raise a finger or two in simple friendly acknowledgement.
I also do it to my neighbors as I drive down the street.

this is exactly what is wrong with society. Friendly neighborly behavior has gone out the window and everyone is just like a bunch a pretentious teenage girls acting like they're too good for the world.

Bike* not just Harleys, and it's a way of saying ride/ stay safe.

Two fingers down = both tires stay down safely

Unless you ride a sport bike. If the Harley guys even acknowledge us, it's only with one finger. And it's pointing up.

When someone waves at you in your Bronco, they're saying "Hi, that's a nice rig!".
When you wave back, you're saying "Thank you".
When you don't wave back, you're saying "I'm a stuck-up asshole".

Or, you could be saying, "I really didn't see if you were waving or not, because I'm looking into the sun, and your windows are tinted, and honestly I'm paying attention to the road. So if I don't wave back, don't have a hissy fit about it."

I really don't understand how some of you guys are seeing what you're seeing when you're on the road... "I saw a Bronco today! It was a carbonized gray 2-door OBX with Sasquatch and a mod bumper, and the guy didn't wave, but he turned his head and pointed at my Bronco on the way by!"

Seriously??? Are you watching the fucking road during all this?

Is it mandatory? i always thought that was weird. so far ive seen a couple broncos on the road and a couple times they flashed lights or waved. I thought that was just a jeep thing

nope. Not mandatory.

I’ve been cautioning new Owners to be extra careful leaving a Broncos and coffee event given the history of Mustangs and those events.

Why? It's like there's the potential to roll over or anything lol

Damn, I know tuxon (not a spelling error, I do it on purpose) is the wild west and sh!t but I've never experienced that in my years of riding, and I've had both. Next time just tell them to get over it or die mad, it's over priced cult garbage anyway lol

This is one of the worst threads in the history of B6G. There are no redeeming qualities to the vast majority of these comments.

I suggest you do not walk and chew gum, or walk, or chew gum. I'm concerned for your safety.

That's why they don't wave. They need two hands on 10 and 2 at all times. White knuckling.

If you're out there swinging your head around to see what every Bronco and Jeep driver is doing, then yes, you should be concerned for my safety.

I’ll only wave back to other 2-Doors, as they are actual Broncos.

Hilarious

Wow - some grumpy people out there. I thought it was just something people in NY were known for - I see that a LOT around here. I guess it's more pervasive than I thought. Personally, I believe a friendly wave is just a kind gesture; return it if you like. I'm just sharing the joy of seeing another Bronco in the Wild.

In my life experiences, anything with a "lifestyle" behind it has a wave. Jeeps, Corvettes, Motorcycles - these are the most known for waving. It's far from just a Jeep thing. I also get waves all the time in my classic Toyotas. With the 6G Bronco and the "lifestyle" that Ford and social media has already started to create, there will definitely be Bronco waving. I don't see many in my area still, but I wave at every one and get waved at as well and I expect it will continue as the number of Broncos on the road increases. Even the Sport crowd gets in on it, thanks to the Bronco plastered on the grille. It's really not as simple as asking if Bronco people have to do a Jeep thing - that's like Jeep people asking if they have to do the Corvette wave, or Vette people asking if they have to do the Bike wave, or Bike people asking if they have to do the Jeep wave. It's just passionate people waving and being excited at others. Basically, I gotta wave in every damn ride I currently own, and I'm ok with that!

Finger horns?
Hang loose?
Something of the sort?

Anyone suggest those?

 

[Nectar]

Its simple
If someone waves, smiles, acknowledges me, im going to return the kindness.
