Miserable git on a VFR800...
I must see the same bloke 2 or 3 times a week, normally around Sally-in-the-woods, heading towards Bradford-on-Avon as we're heading towards Bristol. Silver VFR800 with a hi-viz. I wave everytime I see him. He has never waved in all the times I've seen him (which is probably about 50 now). He doesn't even acknowledge me/us. You're a MISERABLE GIT! :)

Re: Miserable git on a VFR800...
Well we saw miserable git again today. I was just explaining to my pupils over the radio that we should all wave at him if we see him, and at that moment he came round the bend. They weren't quite prepared, but I managed a bit of a Hitler salute as he went past. Nothing. Not a bean. Maybe he suffers with tunnel vision? Nah, he just a miserable git... :P

Re: Miserable git on a VFR800...
Is he on an older VFR??? If so I see him in Bath.... and have never had a nod either...
-
Re: Miserable git on a VFR800...
If you see him about the same time each day, maybe we should have a WB ride through one morning and all wave at him! :D

Great idea BB! If we don't get at least a nod, we'll follow him to find out where he keeps his Volvo, and let the tyres down... :) ;D

Re: Miserable git on a VFR800...
Maybe he is blind???? Didnt think of that did you! LOL :D

Re: Miserable git on a VFR800...
I think I've seen him in Bath too on my way home.
Hi-Viz waistcost not jacket.
I nodded - he didn't.
I will make a real effort next time if I see him, although it can be a bit tricky on the London Rd.

Re: Miserable git on a VFR800...
Reminds me of a joke at work when we had to leave a parking space for the blind man.
Many concerned employees emailed back concerned at why a blind man was coming to our car park.
Turns out he was fitting blinds to the windows.

That's the bloke. We going to give him three 'heil hitler' salutes as we go past next time. Already priming my students... :)

Sorry Tina, I see so many people after they've gone by, cos I'm so busy in my mirrors. I think Silly Simon passed me the other day along Yarnbrook straight, doing the same thing... ::)
