Course it is!!!!!
I always return greetings, if I'm not the first one to it.
I always assume that if the pillion doesn't offer one then they're too busy hanging on tight :D
However, I learned the hard way that it is NOT acceptable for a bored pillion to do the YMCA dance while stopped at traffic lights!!!!
It's OK when I'm on my own bike, though
I always nod/wave @ other bikers when I'm pillion - they usually wave back.

Pillions can't do it because it tips the bike over!!!
Try visualising me in spangly silver leggings, a tight spangly top, BIG hair and more make-up than yer mum.... put me on stage with three other equally amazingly-attired fellas and you have my Saturday nights of last year!!

I've found alot of waving is between particular styles of bike. I ride a chop and waved at loads of sports bikes with very very few waves back. Even the local mag crowd turned their collective snotty noses up when i turned up one night. All except 2 dudes who were chatty as anything. Seems like snobbery exists among us.
There was a time that if you had stopped somewhere, and was haveing a potch at you bike, and another biker came along, he or she would stop and try to help you. Dont see that today. Not often anyway.
I've been known to stop and offer assistance... & I'm not even on a bike... yet!
Once chased a bloke's mate a few miles up the A2 - in a world of his own, not realising he'd left his buddy stranded at the side of the road... caught him too... thankfully he was on a trike, otherwise I'd never have caught up with him ;o)
I was sorted for beers and bodyguards for months and months after that - bless 'em :o) Every time they turned up at the pub I was working in. Cool guys... Wonder if they're still about...
