Do L Plates make me invisible?

[Rabb]

I nod at everyone on a bike.
97% of the time I get a nod back (however I feel that I do have to mention that it's usually BMW's that don't reciprocate and form the vast majority of the 3% that don't acknowledge)
Must be the shades they're wearing?

Or maybe they are too busy sorting out their jeans that are tucked into their boots ;D

i nod @ L platers...............we were all there once

[Snowy]

There's no particular type of bike (or rider) that seems to ignore me.... sports bikes, cruisers, tourers... they all ignore me equally - except BMW riders every one of them seem to ignore me :'( - Did I mention the other half also has a BMW ;D (and he is actually nice -despite what I may have implied here )

The only people that are almost guaranteed to nod are other learners, power to the L plate!

If its any consolation, I ride a BMW and I tend to get ignored by them as well ;D I prefer to wave rather than nod because it hurts my neck

[SupeRDel]

I ride the XJR1300 and get a wave/nod from all.

If I ride the classic RD400 it will drop by 50%.

I used to ride my daughters little suzuki 50 sometimes and would get ignored.

I used to get the same when I had L plates.
I nod at anyone and even the 'hairy' ones a bikes a bike and some people are snobs when it comes to calling them 'THE HAIRY TYPES'
I bet they would not to there face !!!!
Rant over,....ill nod to you

[DC]

I nod to everyone ! if another rider doesnt reciprocate it says less about them than it does about me maybe they are an elite group 8-)

[goz1960]

I nod at all bikers, regardless of what they are riding.

I try and nod to everyone but like Del says, tends to be what you ride governs your results.

Personaly, I love the startled looks I get when I'm on a scruffy/dirty traillie and node to pristine cruisers!

Incidentally, yesterday I did about 150 miles on the traillie (on tarmac I hasten to add) and the roads were knee deep in bikes of all shapes & sizes and I reckon about 25% ignored me...
