So come on then, which of these do you give the nod to, and which never nod to you?
1) Learners
2) Scooters
3) Harley riders
4) Gold Wing riders
5) Police bikers
6) Any bike in a city center
I'm only 1, 4 & 5.
Rarely get returned nods from any
, but it's good when the BiB return the nod.

I nod to the lot, especially police, it shows a) ive seen you, b) I respect you.
passed a talivan on sunday in biker country wales, I was doing 40mph, (thanks to all the cars that flashed me a warning) anf gave the operator a good old hearty wave as i crawled by....
Where was that s200z? if they are confining themselves to 40 zones i my be tempted to go back. I have boycotted wales this year
sorry no, it was NSL, I was doing 40 to be blatant that I knew he was already there...
it was on the A44 just east of llandrindod wells, exellent set of hairpins before a popular biker cafe/petrol station, which I THINK is the crossgate services.
Im just wondering now, what speed I went the other way, as I didnt see him on the way there...
NB bikeBiB rode round the car park looking down at tyres (or no plates?) then rode off. no one nicked for zorsts, plates or anything dodgy.. Which was nice.

sorry but...
I know this is irrational but i cant bring myself to nod at Goldwings or PAN Europians .
Ive just got this irrational hatred of them.
the Pan European thing might have something to do with a couple of people i know from the past who ride them!
They are both proper holyer than thou halfwits who really used to pi55 me off
So I assume every other Pan rider is going to have the same attitude

, but hardly get a nod back ? whats happening BMW drivers buying bikes ? I nod to all cos i'm nice like that, police riders get a wink, thats when i,m aiming my imaginary rocket launcher.
scooter drivers grow up to bigger bikers, so if they nod nod em back.
I agree nodding is in decline, too many R1 riding, no skills, chicken strip etiqute less tossers, who get on my nerves though.

yep agree with you there mate, there is only one thing to do to born agains and thats ride round them mid bend dozy 40+ "i know how to handle an r1 i had a norton"
wits
No use of the mirrors either, even when I was sat right behind a couple of them, so I can only assume they were deaf as well
Overtaking them was a pain as they were tending to sit near the center of the road, so with no gap I had to take the whole lot in one go 
Is it just up here or do all the tossers on R1s have purple headlights and iridium screens ?

Nope they are here as well mate .
Makes me laugh with the BAB's though , they turn up down the bay , park up and strut in thier leathers carrying thier helmets to the chippy then stand round there Fireblades/R1's (ideal BAB bikes
) pointing at various bits yabbering away not having a clue what they are on about, i had a group of shiney boys stand round my bike in tears cos it was covered in flies and general road crap and not shiney like all bikes should be

If any pics of my bike from the BNG show-up it's only that clean 'cos I cleaned 3 weeks worth of dead bugs and old chain lube off the day before... it's not normally that clean

I always like to tell them i'd rather ride it than clean it. I like shiney boys, thats an excellent desciption.
