Are you a friendly Biker

[Grumpy Old Git]

Still counter nodding.

Best done with your weight on one footpeg...

 

The same side as your nose when nodding.

[dazziep]

It must be miserable bikers day out today. . Past 7 bikers on way home.. 2 nodded..

Is it the L plates and 125?? You mardy b@$+€rds

[NeilM]

Just in from work.

9 mile commute. 9 out of 9 nodders here

[dazziep]

must just be these south Yorkshire chaps then mate

Although saying that your on a real bike not a toy one like me

[NeilM]

No I think you were right the first time...lol

The west is best;-)

[dazziep]

Yeah I work in leeds.. your not a bad bunch

[NeilM]

We will be having the southerners scratching their heads....

Inter yorkshire rivalry?

[Matt Strange]

I know where Doncaster is, this southerner isn't head scratching!

[Stilton Jo]

I am a friendly biker!

I nod.

I usually get a nod back, possibly helps being a girl

Was out yesterday, stopped to turn right at a junction to allow a car to turn from my left into the road I was on, 4 guys in the car. They clocked the bike, then me, and I got big smiles

Mind you, I look much prettier with my helmet ON!

[NeilM]

I just get strange looks when I stop to let a car out. ...

Yep.. I'm sure most men would rather nod at a biker girl all the leathers etc than a big fat sweaty hairy 16 stone man any time

Not that I am a big fat sweaty 16 stone man

[NeilM]

Im a 6ft 2 16 stone sweaty biker:-)

[Joeman]

Do you nod to bikers on the other side of a motorway? Seems many dont nod back

Also, when passing another bike, I always give them a wave.

[TC]

Depends what mood im in or sometimes where I am and what type of riding im doing.

I do nod sometimes even when im in the car

[Alexander]

Recently upgraded from the CBF 125 (on L plates) to a Fazer 600 - number of nods returned significantly increased! (YAY!)

Debating now whether I should still nod at the guy i used to see every morning on a CBF125 ....

[CGD217]

I noticed when I graduated to a 600 From a 125 the number of nods increase.

I don't normally nod on the motorway as I'm too busy watching the idiots on my side of the barrier! If I do see a bike on the other side though I will nod back.

Lol, I had exactly the same thing with a guy on a Fazer that used to see on my commute, he ignored me twice when I was on my 125 before I gave up, now I'm on a 600 he nods..although I can't bring myself to ignore him......I'm weak...

I passed 6 bikes today and only one of them nodded. It makes me reluctant to nod in the first place because I'd probably get ignored. Although, I was wearing a hoodie and joggers so they probably thought I was a local chav

[Steve D]

I rarely wave in the UK. Sometimes I may nod if I'm filtering and another biker is filtering from the other direction. I do most of my waving for when I'm on the continent. It's so much easier when riding on the right hand side of the road to wave or give a thumbs up with your left hand. Plus, most bikers you see over there on the mountain roads are happy tourists on a trip, not harassed commuters!

[Guest]

I always try and nod back to any I get, but sometimes I'm busy concentrating on something, I'm still learning having just done my mod 1 today. I'm usually just happy to be riding so nod at anyone out there!

[Tankbag]

I wonder how many out there want to nod but don't want to be ignored, so, two bikers thinking the same, neither want to nod first, result, noone nods, both bikers ride on thinking ignorant so & so ?

 

I was wearing a hoodie and joggers so they probably thought I was a local chav

That fits in with my nod test yesterday, I was wearing a black hoodie over armor, I got massively less return nods than normal.

[dodger22]

i always nod or wave 75% nod/wave back if they dont well bollox to them

Well from now on, I'l nod first and see if I get more nods back
