The Biker "Nod"

hahahahaha! I'm laughing at some of the replies!:biggrin:

I nod at all proper bikes. I don't acknowledge learners, scooters or those funny little hair dryer thingies - unless they nod first, in which case I will reply. The real ones that piss me off are those cruiser knobs! nod at them and they tend to ignore - tossers!

I tend to look at an oncoming bike and nod with a very slight incline of my head - so yes, probably a 2 O'clock nod - but only if I'm travelling at velocity which allows me the luxury to do so safely!....

 

...and now you've got me on the subject - I like to acknowledge a fellow ride if I overtake him...it just gives me that warm glow inside....I'll normally lift my left hand off the bar slightly to give a semi wave - not a demi-wave, because I can never get them to hold their full bouffant under my crash hat....they just tend to go limp....

 

I don't bother nodding to Harley/custard riders as they always look miserable as sin and never nod back.

Saying that, I think I'd be miserable as sin if I had to ride one too.

 

,

There were a load at the Cafe I stopped at today, fat miserable fuckers.

 

When this thread started, i was going to say that the only bikers i dont nod are the HD riders but i didnt want to sound negative towards other bikers, but i have to agree they are such a bunch of self aggrandising smug tossers.

I have put a few in their place, once on my Laverda Jota, tore a wanker on his Fat boy to pieces along the Embankment in London in the early 90's, he was trying so hard to keep up with me, another was blasted into the weeds by my SP4. LOVE IT.

Sorry if i have gone of thread.

 

No need to apologise, you let it out!

 

All good in my book. HD = Twat!

 

Wont nod to superscooters, the pregnant looking ones.

 

i mind last year parkd up in inverrary when a small group of harlys went past one of them had a sterio on board with bohemian rhapsody turned up to 11. gave me a giggle.

 

I nod at everyone.However,I do spit at pushbikes.This does tend to make a soggy mess in my helmet .

 

i think your spending too much time worrying about who you nod too and should spend more time riding your bike

 

It's funny that, was just thinking the last couple of days about the nod thing..

I want to be nice and friendly I feel as being on two wheels we're all one big family so to speak but how many times have I given a nice 2 o'clock/45 degree nod with eye contact and been completely ignored, makes you feel like a right idiot.

Nice though if you get a nod back makes you feel warm around your heart.

 

I sometimes raise a hand to bikers when I'm out cycling, forgetting that I'm not on the motorbike...

They must think I'm mad!! :wink:

 

I don't like them nods the way they ride about on their scooters with loads of aerials and headlights.

 

The Nods And The Wockers don't like each other do they ?

 

Multi owners have taken it to the next level. They give cuddles.

 

I pretty much nod at them all, I laugh to myself when I get the stern look of death from Mr Wildhog of the roughty toughty Hells angel Chorley chapter (AKA Norman from accounts Monday to Friday)
