Do L Plates make me invisible?

There are some real motorbike snobs out there. I used to get the cloak of invisibility on the old Honda.

Even today the SV gets a lot of nods, the GS a few and the Cub none! Em (my GF) gets sh*t off of some bikers when she rides her scooter. It seems a girly on a scooter is a legitimate target.

I nod at everyone, we all ride no matter what it is and deserve respect.

I nodd regardless of L or not. Some riders choose not to nodd at all, in particular Harley Riders ::)

I nod/wave/waggle a leg at all bikers, like many have said; we were all learners ourselves!
BMW are bad but Harley/cruiser riders are the worst, perhaps they can't nod as they're concentrating so hard on their one ride a month :-?

Stu

Harley riders think they are too cool to nod

I nod at all bikers - what I will sometimes do though is one nod for a pair/small group of bikes. Otherwise you go along the road like a nodding donkey ;D ;D

I'll keep a look out for you being a fellow Westbury lady biker :)

I got ignore by quite a few when i was on L plates but havnt been out on my big bike enough to notice whether i get ignored or not :P
have to say though, i'm guilty of not always nodding if im concentrating on my riding so apologies if i ignore anyone

Its funny reading these, if your in a car ' do you wave at every car that goes by?' (only if a old vw)

I was in a club and we used to shake a leg, funny at 60+
I think most of us will say that we try a nod to all. ::)

I nod at all riders, but only if they are suited and booted.
Its not snobbery, I just feel pain everytime I see someone without gloves, jacket, boots or in trackies.
If you look like you are a serious rider then I will give a nod, wave or leg waggle.

Is it really that big a deal? Like Hazel said, if I'm busy concentrating on something I don't respond, otherwise I do, and if someone is offended by my lack of response when I'm cornering or something then they'll have to live with it.

What would a member of the public think were they to read a thread by "rufty-tufty" biker types who bleat about nobody nodding or waving to them...? :-? :-? ::) ::)

I rode rode Lahndun a couple of months back, i had concussion by the time i got home.
