The first "bike" I rode was a Honda Express, which was classified as a moped
despite the fact that it had no pedals (should've called it a "mo"...).  Even
on this rather wimpy looking thing, motorcycle riders would wave to me when
we passed.

I imagine that this started when there were far fewer motorcyclists on the road
than there are now and seeing a kindred soul was something of a treat.  It
seems that this custom is slowly dying out, around here anyway.
