I nod to all,but find the bmw gs owners or Harley owners don't respond........went to France earlier this year,found bikers waving across 4-5 lanes of traffic going in the opposite direction... not to mention all the bikes that went past with their right foot hovering just above the road.
We went as a group of 7 large bikes,we found kids on Peds loved seeing us and often their passenger taking video of us going past,we could learn a thing from the French, of course they don't have the potholes or the traffic they we have to put up with
