Hog riders in Adelaide generally dont wave, although mostly the non-outlaw hog riders. I've nodded at outlaws before and they've nodded back. 99% of beemer riders dont nod. I think the rest of us are beneath their dignity to acknowledge. But even some of the young dudes on gsxr r1 fireblade rocketships don't nod either. Its the real riders who nod, the ones who get it, you know, understand the bond between riders and have lived the life, living and breathing motorcycles whatever you ride. commuter riders dont seem to get it. boy racers dont seem to get it. On the long stretches between towns in the bush, people get it. Everyone nods then, even car drivers. |
I think you 've nailed it, certainly seems to be the case here in Tassie

hahahahaha
silly boy...HD riders are too cool to give a shit! he he he
As for me, well sometimes I nod sometimes not... depends on speed/mood/ etc... usually I do tho
Actually I am more likely to give a curteous nod to the rider I have just passed...

I started the bike (with the Micron) at Harley City on Saturday and immediately got three nods (probably before they knew what they were doing).

I reckon most do not nod at Buells cos they are busy trying to find the harley behind the sports bike.

Ah yes but is it a restrained 15% tilt forwards or do you crank your head in a big circle (and suffer vertigo)?

Small is cool  The aim is for the other rider to be saying "I think they nodded."

A nod is as good as a wink. Yes Bueller - I am with you, subtle not the "head on a spring" approach.
