Do you wave?

[Milesy]

Today out on the bike I would've waved to atleast 80 bikes travelling the other way. Unfortunatley, only about half a dozen responded .Is it just me, or is it a dying fad.

Do you wave/nod ?

[Rainbow7]

Lots of people nod. Especially when they notice you're riding a Busa!

It's mainly the Hardley brigade who don't do it, but who cares? I ignore them; they ignore me. I refuse to nod to anyone on a scooter, though.

[Heidi1]

I nod to scooters, bike cops, pushbikes, truck drivers, kids on trikes, posties, L platers everyone except Harleys. I don't bother any more.

[Troopmaster]

Me personally, no nodding nor acknowleging Scooters or Tractors.

At the very least a fellow Japper Rider will get a nod, a Busa Rider will get a bit of a quick salute.

I nod at bikes, even when I'm driving the Volvo!
Don't care if they don't nod back. It makes me feel happy to think that I belong :-)

[bigjay]

too busy ducking down the inside, and overtaking people to wave

you guys have your reasons for not bothering with certian minority groups of riders IE: harleys n scooters , its a shame as all riders no matter what they ride are riders scooters or harleys alike , what happen to the kindness we had in the 80's n 90's where you helped all or any rider or gave a nod in respect for they rode a bike.

well i can see its lost here

Some do, some don't Kev. Not all is lost...

Gee Heidi, your neck must hurt by the time you get to your destination How do you go in traffic

Seriously though, when I was riding and even now as a pillion, I nod.

[big kev]

its a sign that you have respect for your fellow riders , but i can see there are picky f*** riders that chose only to not to some one thats worthy of there nod , poor form i say , the comaradary of bike riders has gone to shit never thourt i would see it form busa riders ,

not happy jan

You're right BK, scooters & harleys are alike (I reckon scooters probably handle better though!)

[Champs]

By default I nod at almost all riders, and wave when it is easy enough to do so. I can and I guess you can all probably tell if someone coming the other way is of the same thinking. As a general rule Hardley/cruiser riders won't, but some do. Those that do I assume are of a biker thinking rather than bikey thinking. Those groups of tossers on Hardleys I just don't believe have the enjoyment of riding first in mind, and I don't believe they deserve the recognition of a nod or wave.

Sorry Kev, I just don't have time for groups where I believe hypocracy rules.

I always thought nodding was a highway thing, but these days I am pleasantly corrected by riders in city and suburban areas.

Big Kev.

I wave to all and sundry, who cares what they ride. The other bike may just be a busa. I know a guy who rides a busa as a 2nd bike, his H-D Sporty is his daily.......... he says "Only ride this so I don't get done speeding"

I've caught myself nodding in the car, I always feel so silly I then have to cover it up with a goofy wave. I'm sure that helps!

hey Kev, I used to wave at EVERYONE, but the Harley riders never waved back. It took about 10 years for me to give up on them. Trust me, I persevered for a long time.

[SteveV]

I give a peace sign to sports bikes if I can and a nod to the rest, except scooters and harleys unless they nod first. I blow a kiss to busas, and shush anyone who wags a finger at me.
