Although the inverted “V” with two fingers pointing downwards is the most widespread variant, there are other ways for motorcyclists to greet each other depending on the region:
A raised closed fist: common in some groups, it expresses strength and unity.
An open hand pointing downwards: a more relaxed version of the traditional greeting.
A simple nod of the head: used when it is not safe to let go of the handlebars, especially in turns or at high speed.
Each variant retains the same essence: recognizing the other person and showing respect.
A tradition that endures.
