Guest Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I nod at everyone on two wheels. even chavs on 2 strokers, i get a lot of nods back off them aswell. If the weathers good and I see a Group of riders I slute sometimes aswell People I don't get nods off are most harley/cruiser riders, older riders, and middle aged blokes who ride around in the summer on old mod style vespas, thinking they're cooler than everything, wearing open face helmets with cigarettes in their mouth, Aviator sunglasses and nothing to protect them but their khaki coloured parka jackets.

teedee Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I nod / acknowledge 99% of bikers...... The only people i ignore are the chavs on scooters that ride around with trainers on,no gloves and tracksuit tops ..... I HATE THESE PEOPLE !........ Weaving in and out of traffic with no sence of the highway code , They havent grasped the use of indicators . AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHH...... breathe in....breathe out.....breathe in .......breathe out....... Thats better, calm is restored !I even nod to harley riders..... but they have their own rules which i think state they must only acknowledge other harleys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teedee Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The first time you come off your toy doing 30 - 35 mph on one of them roads thats got stones set in tarmac wearing your tracky bottoms and suffer gravel rash..... you will rush out (when your wounds have healed) to buy either textiles or leathers . ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWannaGoFast Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Literally salute. If your out on a new bike on a lovely day and your feeling particularly :mrgreen: ish' (that is a word, i looked it up) then salute another biker. Chances are they'll see the funny side of it.

Guest Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Always nod, too much road rage so a few friendly nods makes for a happier journey. commute daily past the test centre in swansea so hope a friendly nod to the 'L' plates will help them through their test, it did me.
