Around here it's everybody waves, points or gestures however they are comfortable. The low-wind-resistance (seat level) finger point or peace sign is popular with the sport crowd and the subtle, full-hand wrist shake is what the cruiser folks do. Some people are less comfortable (or too busy) to take their left hand off the grip, so they nod their head or raise the chin exaggeratedly in acknowledgment.

Speaking of this, I got this particular type of wave from a guy on a scooter today. I did my normal, but it took me off guard a little bit, especially considering I had read this thread less than an hour before I went out.
On a side note, we have a lot of lakes around here, and the boating crowd does the flamboyant, whole-arm wave to other boaters. It's the same type of thing there, just a bit different.
