Just south of Porteau Cove heading North.

I pulled into the rest stop just before Porteau Cove but I passed you before that in the White L400.

I went up to whistler on Sunday morning and came back in the evening.

I saw 13 L300's in total and 2 L400's.

Squamish is a secret L300 haven.

They all waved except for two that didn't see me.

I have yet to come across an L300 or L400 who's driver or passenger doesn't wave when they see me or Maryna waving.

Wow, I might do something wrong. Out of the last twenty l300 I saw maybe five waved back.

I always wave back and Ive never been turned down a wave.

Are you sure you're doing it right? :)

(jk, I'm pretty sure they just aren't seeing you)

I guess it also depends where you are. My experience is you won't get that often a wave back (anymore) in Vancouver. Once you are outside the city the chance you get one back is pretty high.
Anyway I stopped waving in the city...

I live in squamish and 80%+ wave back, I put it to people being distracted and not seeing me as that is what happens to me at times. My kids give me heck if I miss one hehe.

I recently took my mbike for a spin and waved at a fellow I passed going to opposite way on a side street. It was like his hand was glued to the handle, first one finger then the others pulled free in a jerky motion to give a non commital floppy skake. I'm guessing he was trying to place me or mbikes don't wave anymore.

Another secret Delica (and RHD in general) hideout seems to be Quadra Island.

I was working over there last week, and jeez - seemed like non-stop precession on and off the ferry.

I still wave at RHD's. My waves experience is consistent with motorcycling - more than half wave back.

There are more L300s than bears in Squamish.

I was at the corner of hwy 99 and clevland ave (by the McDonalds) and there were 4 Deli's at the intersection. I think there are atleast 5 deli's in my little neighbourhood here in Squampton.

Ahhh! Now I got it. Usually just used the middle finger to wave.
