To nod or not to nod.

I ride a variety of bikes now and over the years and I acknowledge all bikers in one way or another.
It just irked me a bit that as soon as my arse is on the Vespa most riders don’t notice me.
i suspect a lot of scooter riders are in the position that I’m in where they have bigger “real” bikes but for health
reasons they have to ride a scooter.

My sister has been a member of the Reading Offbeats Scooter club for decades, she learnt her way round engines by riding and fixing a Vespa. She no longer owns a scooter, but currently has five bikes; a 1972 CB125S, her Zed ('77 z650, her first proper bike, a keeper), a GS650 that she picked up dirt cheap and restored to running order, a Harley Sportster and a Bonneville Newchurch (limited edition from around 2015 I think). Pretty much all the members of the Offbeats who still ride have graduated to Harleys, seems that old scoot riders move from something slow, noisy and ill-handling to something slightly faster, noisy and ill-handling.
