To Nod or Not to Nod...

This is a topic I posted in the SVDU forum ages ago... It's good for a bit of banter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you a nodder? Do you pick and choose who you give the 'nod' to? Have you nodded to someone today??? I even nod to Harley riders (they love it)...not.... Have you nodded to a fellow rider and then remembered you are in your car??? Long live the nod i reckon.

I usually give a nod out on the highways but rarely in city traffic. I remember back when I first got my licence (1973) we all gave a wave or just stuck ya left hand in the air. I remember riding down the Hume from Albury to Melb on my lonesome and gradually picking up other bike riders on the way. By the time we got to the outskirts of Melbourne there was about a dozen of us riding together.
The guys on Harleys don't wave cos its not cool or they're scared they will lose control.LOL

I go the nod a fair bit
Or quite often I`ll give lift a finger off the grips to "wave"
A lot will acknowledge
Some wont, but I still try to acknowledge all riders
Its up to them if they want to respond

I'm a noddy or wavy. If they are on two wheels and I am not engaged in avoiding someone trying to kill me. More people waved or nodded in the earlier days. Funny thing about Harley-Davidson riders. My wife was riding pillion on the back of my StreetRod and as we went past a group of 20 plus (HOG members) standing outside a coffee place posing in their gear we both waved. Many of them had turned to look at what was riding past, I didn't see one acknowledgement.

I`ve got many nods etc.... back from HD`s
Agreed some will never acknowledge you but there are many decent folk riding HD`s
And as a former HD`er I always returned a nod/wave

Will always nodd to anyone, even the bloke standing at the side of the road. If I don't I'm watching the road.

Are you a nodder? Yo rock on

& finger

for the car drivers at times.
Do you pick and choose who you give the 'nod' to? We have a certain "group" around here so we give each other the same response. yawn

Have you nodded to someone today??? Yep. Mr Honda cruiser rider didn't know what to do. eek

. I had the open face & leather vest so I notice that what ever jacket & helmet I have on effects the response I get.
Have you nodded to a fellow rider and then remembered you are in your car??? No, but I do notice a lot of car drivers lift the finger. wave

Long live the nod i reckon. Agree hello

You need to learn the signs of a pre-nod. There are Harley's that nod. The longer you and the oncoming rider are in vision the more chance of a nod.

I always return a nod. I usually prepare to nod on the hwy, but round town there is usually too much going on to worry about it.

A nod is a small, short noticable dip of the head. It is uncool to twist the neck at the same time. You cannot flick your fringe in a helmet.

Bwhahahaha pissing myself
