Two bikes pass on an empty two-lane road and, without a word, two left hands drop low with two fingers pointed at the tarmac. Nobody explains it and nobody has to. This motorcycle coffee mug is for the riders who always wave back, starting with the first cup of the day.
One big cartoon riding glove fills the top of the design, held low with two straight fingers spread in an open V toward the road and a few quick motion lines beside the fingertips. Underneath, NOT EVERYONE GETS THE WAVE. sits in two heavy rows of clean condensed capitals, full stop and all. The line reads both ways: not everyone is given the wave, and not everyone understands it. Thick outlines, flat bold fills and no logos anywhere.
The design wraps both sides, so it reads whichever way you pick it up.
It is the gift a partner gives the rider who never misses a wave, a grown kid gives the parent who taught them what it means, or a friend gives the riding buddy who is always two bikes back. Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas are all covered.
Coffee first. Then go find someone to wave at.
