The pink T shirt just finished it off a treat!

He could have taken the bike option but no....I think he secretly wanted to drive the bug! ;D

I'm a nodder at all bikes (except maybe scooters if there's a bunch of them) learners an' all! However, i spend most of my riding time in Essex where most bikers don't bother nodding!

I find it much more friendlier down in the South West than anywhere else so keep up the good vibes Wilthire Bikers!

Yes, I've been nodded to when off the bike but in bike gear - it lifts the spirit!

I don't care which way the world is going, I'm going to just keep on nodding.

Nod ;)

Nodder at all bike maybe not Scooters but 125cc get a nod as they are nearly full riders ;D

I caught myself doing a lifesaver while walking through a supermarket the other day.....you can't be too careful ;D[/quote]


Hey its dangerous out there, the last thing you need in sainsburys or tescos is being t-boned... I mean can you imagine the immortal line 'Sorry Mate I Didn't See You' in the supermarket??? Be safe out there !!! ;D ;D ;D

However I wouldn't describe myself as a 'Nodder' as 'Nodder's ' was slang when I was a kid for condoms!!! Nope definitely not a nodder but I do acknowledge other bikers ;) ;D

i agree with that,but there are a certain handful who i'm sure are quite different. :)

I tend to nod at anyone but out other day nodded and thought someone didnt nod back but my g/f who was on the back said they did so....

There's a knack to "The Nod." Do it too early and the other rider might not see it. Do it too late and the other guy/gal doesn't get a chance to respond (if he/she was waiting for you to go first).and both nod at the same time no one knows lol :)

Dabz, we call the Audi things tiTTies... ;)

Willy, the answer is to wave... :)

I wave/nod/shake my thing at everyone, regardless of bike. The Goldwing thing surprises me, as I've normally found the most enthusiastic wavers were quite often 'Wing riders. I recall a whole gaggle (if that's the group terminology?) of 'Wing riders waving so enthusiastically that one pillion nearly fell off in the process. Quite a feat, considering the pillion normally has naffing great armrests. The lack of acknowledgement from the HD fraternity, normally comes down to the fact that it's someone having a mid-life crisis, not realising that there is such a thing as a brotherhood of bikers. And let's face it, the average Accountant/Solicitor/Sexual deviant isn't normally friendly to people in their regular life... [smiley=happy.gif]

I'll even nod to a Tory Liverpool fan on a moped - after all, "We are all in it together" ;D ;D ;D
