I always give the 'nod' to fellow bikes
BUT
Have you ever caught yourself doing it to passing bikers even when you are just walking. I mean no gear or helmet to show you are one. I did.
;D
Do it in the car all the time ;D

No, but I have been known to 'flip the bird' if people do it to me. I don't know why and I mean no harm.
I just find it funny ;D
Do it in the car all the time ;D
Same nod in the car. :D
Not in the car - I drive a Volvo ;D
I always make bike noise 'Brummmmmmmmmmmmm' if I pass a biker, a habit I can't get out of, rarely nod though, prefer a quick wave!
It's when you start filtering in the car you've got to worry. Not that I speak from experience ;) :) :o

Yea me too ;D

Glad I am not alone in this then. ;D ;D
Speaking of filtering in the car, I don't but have found I drive closer to the middle than I used to in the early days and it drives my wife mental. Well more mental than usual. ;D ;D ;D ;D

i always nod to a fellow biker but being on a 125 with a big L slapped on the front of my bike i don't get a very good response back ;) i do nod to bikers when im walking about town and then i think to my self he/she doesn't know im a biker and then you get the awfull stare ;D ;D
i dont tend to nod as much as i used to i must admit, but certainly do if i know the on coming biker ( wait for it bloody misery guts lol) i have my reasons ok......so there na na na na na ::) ::) ::) ::)

Oh Dear - never in the car, but as a habit when walking....

It was an offence post mate, I'm not sure why the mood suddenly seemed to turn, I made the joke saying you guy's don't like getting your bikes dirty, and you said you didn't see any other ADV bikes out on Saturday so I again 'joked' to go along with the 'dirty' post that it helps if you get out on the roads...

No worries.....I had lost where we had got to in the ribbing stakes so just needed to reset the thought process ;)
