Real Bikers Nod

Yes I always give a nod. But don't really get to bothered if it is not returned. To busy riding my bike and loving it. Went out today trip to Dorchester. I was coming home to Burnham and you know I felt so good I think I rode around every little side road there left home at 10am got back about 1800pm. Don't know where I went but I guessed I'd never been there before. Even earlier pulled into Hughenden M40 shop was closed but the chief mechanic was there waiting for his colleague to return with a bike and he made me a cracking cup of coffee. That pretty good for a Sunday And as it was the first time I have been out for a ride on my own since the new year for personal reasons.

Well I’ll have to admit the first time I passed a 20 bike ride out going the other way I thought my head was going to fall off after about bike 15 so now I don’t nod to all of them, let them think what they want about me! Don’t ask me how many of them nodded back after the first 5 my vision was all blurred too.

 

See a convoy is where the nod becomes a left hand up

 

Don’t worry rich, I didn’t really nod 15 times in 5 seconds........ who’d be that stupid?

 

me

 

I always nod at fellow bikers and its no bother if they don't nod back. They are not being rude for not nodding back. Could be new rider.....probably not noticed your nod.......too busy enjoying his/her ride

 

Or a leg out

 

The leg out isn't that Continental. We were over in Holland a few years ago and all the riders seemed to do that same as Germany. And again a group of riders I just flash the lights day time only to say I'm here and stick a hand up. Its always seemed right.
Ride safe

Everyone seems to be missing the fact that the second biker was doing a wheelie. Ah well....

 

I was more concerned with the floppy left handed wave.....

 

ContactSC.
At least you tried. But I wont be doing any wheelies for any one. When I had my Sprint on the odd occasion I forgot it did stupid things like that. I ended up carrying spare pants and lots of deodorant with me.
Wheelie Good
Joe

 

Well we don’t have your dead eye vision Rich ....

 

On a hardtail i think it may be difficult to tell if i am nodding....or just look like my head is about to fall off.

 

I’m always polite to the ones waving machetes around!

 

The folk who I'm not keen on are those who, when you nod at them, they just stare back at you as they pass, like you had just crapped in their helmet.
Fair enough, you don't want to nod back, but no need to make it that obvious!

 

That was me.....sorry

 

Out for a ride on Sunday, I gave a nod to a guy on a scooter and he almost flung himself off in an over enthusiastic reply....did make me smile.
