Nodding

[DG]

Call me sad but I generally give a nod to other bikers on the road apart from the hogs who just ignore you anyway!

But are you a nodder or not?

i wave/nod depends on mood/speed/situation to anyone except chavs on 'peds & other forms of scooter user. if they want respect get a real sodding bike - after all i nod to kids on 50s/125s with l-plates if they got a bike.

On the other hand we can let go and wave with both hands cos our bikes handle well and dont suffer from any kind of speed wobble

So yes Im a nodder!

I voted yes because sometimes I look like one of those nodding dogs you see in the backs of cars.

Yebbut, if I'm going fast enough to get the wobble my eyes are tight shut and I don't see any other riders

i thought it was the unwritten code of conduct that you nod to other bikers...except chavs of course...

so yes i nod

Been through europe and they are all a very friendly bunch.. Every biker that I came across would make the effort to acknowledge us.. Sometimes it would even be a frantic find of neutral so they could wave.. Not many nods but plenty of raised hands...

I nod to all bikers and make special effort when it looks like they aren't in the mood for a high speed hello.. The more exagerated and silly the better sometimes...

[Guest]

Nod at everything on 2 wheels just get a bit frustrated at the lack of responce sometimes,makes you think why bother but i say that then 1st bike i see i'm nodding

[cyberwolf]

i dont nod much but do flash my lights or give them wave

em dose sounding the horns at all the women walking along the path count

[houdini]

I'm a nodder but you already know I'm a friendly chap, I'd do a keith but they would need to look real close

You gotta nod, not that bothered if they dont return it but most do.

[Guest]

Yeah nod at everyone apart from mopeds. Make a point of nodding to learners on real bikes as I remember how I excited I was when I first started nodding and got nods back

[mel64]

Mainly I do but I think that you can guage the oncoming biker will he or wont he..

[beefy505]

Always give a nod but sometimes end up shouting "wa**er" when someone looks at me when i nod then looks away and blanks me

[rennie]

Try riding a bike with L plates half the guys either look straight ahead making it a point of ignoring you - tossers! Or they look at you like you have just called them a rude name lol - also tossers!!

Other half do nod tho - which is nice and some even wave. I just nod! lol

Oh even had a few when passin slowly of givin me a big grin and lookin round as i pass haha - well hello handsome!!

[Guest]

i nod to everyone, sometimes wave, if i know the other biker, or im in a good mood, i occasional salute, had a few back as well, which was nice

[Guest]

Yep always Nod, even though some don't bother to nod back, Don't think its the same nowwa days as going back a few years when everyone on a biker acknowledged each other.Either by noddin,wave or flash of lights.
