What are you?

[Leo]

When another bike passes, do you:

a) Make no reaction at all (moody)
b) Nod
c) Wink-esq nod
d) Wave


I started out with just a nice super-cool nod, but 3 seperate guys on bikes waved at me the other weekend, and I thought it was good, so I now wave, unless i get caught off guard or I'm going round a corner, then I'll nod.

Or if it's dark, and not to many other road users about, I'll give a quick flash of the lights.


What's your style?

[Spider]

i nod if i dont know em i wave if i know em and i flash if i dnt like em ;)

[harriebird]

i nod like a total tart at anything that has got 2 wheels and an engine, peds, c90s, the lot.

i even nod in the dark altho i am trying to flash now. i always forget which bike i'm on (ahhhh such a trial)

[Biker Dude]

cheeky wink stylie nod for me or a flash at night..

[FasterThanU]

i turn around and chase after them

[Juvenilerider]

I nod at everyone, except peds, and your blatent commuter because they never nodd back

[r6paul]

Nod if theres 1 or 2 of them. If theres a group i'll wave.

Will nod to most things even peds. Unless of course they look like chavs. Haha was out on the 6 the other week nodded at some girl on a ped, saw the biggest grin appear on her face, she couldn't believe her luck.

[bayonet]

A big over the top camp wave with perhaps a blowing a kiss mime if I'm feeling saucy. None wave back round here, well apart from the BMW and Harley riders, dead unfriendly the rest.

[mingmingmo]

i nod or flash at night but i dont do it to peds cos they are all ****s around here

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

i chase em too i was going down the earls colne tt and a 916 when the other way so i turned round and chased him cought him and kipped him

but other wise i try to pop it up or somthing like that

[Tark]

nod. I can never decide if I should do an upwards nod, downwards nod, or a slightly downwards sideways nod.

[The Guvnor]

Are you bored !!!!!!!?????

Depends on how fast im goin !!!!:laugh1

[stu600cc]

i just give a nice tilt of the head left or right it doesnt matter.

[harriebird]

do you say hello or alright or something if you pull up to a bike at traffic lights? i always do and have had a few wee chats to while away the minutes.

except this morning when m-reg ninja man pulled up next to me at lights and when i said hello he just totally ignored me. i felt very silly. beat him out of the lights on the clutch tho hahahahaha

(shame he caned the a*s out of me once he opened the throttle!)

[DoodleBug]

I dont understand people like that, moody git. Always enjoy a little chatter at the lights, makes the cage drivers wonder what you're up to as well.

I chased the NEW 675 on Saturday afternoon from Braintree to Ongar motorcycles and at a set of lights told the geezer test riding it, and I assume the owner of Ongar Motorcycles that the bike is gorgeous and he's a **** if he doesn't buy it!

And my nod is like a cheeky wink, so turn my visor towards the clutch

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

i relised thother day that i dont really nod at anyone cos i concentrat to hard on the road and rideing so i dont rally do any thing, but when i doi give a slight nod to the rite sideways

[harriebird]

i love the slight winky nod, makes me go all gooey inside. i never try and do it coz i'd get it wrong and would look stoooopid :grin2

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

all you need to do if you get the duke is pop it up and that shold do

[harriebird]

do you know drew, i think you might be right there. i'll have to try it :jumping2

i'm being serious, how cool would that be (and i don't think it'll be hard on a 748 either......arrrrghhh!)

[AlexG]

Winky nod style thing. Or a big wave to people that wave from side of road.

[Juvenilerider]

I always take a wave or flash of the lights as meaning the old bill are ahead

[FACESLIDER]

I nod at all bikes,not when I'm in london though,My head would fall off.Not chavs on peds .
I'm not a fan of talking at the lights,I't not that I don't want a quick chat.I just cant here anything with my ear plugs in and lid on.There's been quite a few ocassions when I'v had fellow bikers talking to me,I don't think I've heard any of them.Sometimes they give it away by a gesture,like rubbing there's hands together so I know there saying something about the cold, so I go" yeh it's freezing,"or they fluff up there jacket to get some air,so I go "Yeh it's bolling".There probably saying something completly different , or not actually saying anything.:laughboun :laughboun

[wazza_R6]

i wear a lid even when in the car... and i nod- well its unexpected... who say's we all have to be sane?!:laugh2
