Do you nod?

[lib]

Hey there folks,

Just wondering how many of you nod at other bikers when you are out?

Always nod. Usually get nothing back but oh well.

[techno]

Yep, and theres a guy going the opposite direction when I come home from work and we alsways nod at each other starting to get a little weird now

[MtotheJ]

I selectively nod...never to couriers or pizza boys! Purely for the reason they dont nod back or think i am crazy

[Ratser]

I nod to everyone, although if there is a line of bikes going in the other direction I just hold my hand up or wave (even on the motorway).

Will nod to peds, but only if they nod first

Couple of weeks ago a guy came up behind me at the lights.

I held my hand up to wave and he raised his eyebrows.

I was calling him an ignorant prick (to myself).

Always nod......and so far, I've always had a nice response!

[RiffmasterII]

I nod, but Ive been told that theres a pecking order with mopeds at the bottom and dont even come into the nodding ladder with cruisers at the top who dont nod at anybody because theyre too good for everybody!!

Ive nodded at bikes before when I've been in my car!

[Steve365]

Always do.

Nice to do something different when not in the coffin - makes me feel part of something bigger.

I usually do, not when I'm around London though because no one else seems to nod back. Probably because there are so many bikes down there you'd end up getting a bad neck.

Scoots tend not to in my experience, cruisers sometimes do but I usually just get the "death stare", ooo I'm scared! I nodded at a couple of police bikers once after just passing my test and just got looked at funny so don't nod to cops any more.

[cleedubber]

I always nod....but dont always get one back....so then follows a little chunter of abuse

Like to nod to guys and gals on the small stuff too (L plates), as I think it makes their day to be acknowledged

[Korben]

Scooters (Be it 50cc or 500cc) don't get a nod.

Everything else yes. Even 50cc motorbikes...

Don't get too many back, but meh... If they wanna be like that then so what.

i always nod or wave to oncomming bikers as we are all part of one big biker family

no matter what bike they have they still get a nod, even though i might not get one back i dont care. im not stuck up like some other riders

[cruz]

Even though I ride a cruiser I do nod wave or flash the headlight. I have no issues with acknowledging the inferior sports bike riders.

TBH I do find that many sports bike riders do not acknowledge me, but I still give them a wave and I stop for them if broken down.

I nod to almost everyone. The only exception is on the motorway if I'm concentrating on what's going on around me then I feel bad for not being able to. I think it's nice to nod to all on L plates. I remember being on my scooter when I was 16 and getting all excited when someone on a big bike made the effort.

[Mightycaz]

Even though im on a cruiser i nod at everyone on a bike ( no scooters though!) Had a chat with a guy at some traffic lights the other day, He said he loved my bike and asked if i was allowed to ride an 800cc with L plates! I told him it was only a 125 an he was gobsmacked!

[Foz]

anothing nodding cruiser rider! dont get a nod back from the sporties though its bike-ist i tell ya!!

[wannars125]

I'm just curious as to who said "no"?

[wiffers]

I always nod

Get a nod back 80% of the time

Scooters and cruisers seem to be the worse for not nodding. Sports bikes seem to always nod at me

I always think "screw you then" when someone doesn't - lol

[chrisgatguis]

I just laugh at myself if they don't knod back. They probs all think I'm a crazy nodding maniac!

[Foz]

I'm just curious as to who said "no"?

 

and the reason behind it

[MrOrange]

aye - i always nod - you get the odd grumpy git who wont nod back, but i would say i would get a response 75% of the time

[Guest]

There's one guy I nod to every day on my way to work and he never nods back. I'm determined to break his resistance!

[MonkeyKnuckle]

I wave
