Do you wave/nod ?
I'm a nodder, and I always do, even to Harley dudes. They don't nod in return, but I'm not gonna put myself into their 'greater than though' catergory and behave like them. Scooters? I've waved once or twice, but theydon't get it, I presume that they're not of the same mentality, for them it's a commuter, not a thing of passion. I told a scooter rider off once whilst in my car 'cause he was doing stupid things in the traffic. On top of that he had a pillion. I told him to be a man, not a moron. One thing I'll never forget, when I was a learner on my old Across, a cruiser type rider on an old Triumph passed me and once in front, he raised his hand as an acknowledgment and as a gesture of encouragement; very decent of him. But occasionally you get sport rider wankers I'm afraid to say. Like a dude on a R1 that I stopped next to at a red light, nodded and got nothing in return except he took off on one wheel 'to show me how good he was', and an MV rider with an MV jacket, MV helmet, MV underwear, who needed to justify his expenditure by trying to show me his machine was superior.
