Ten Reasons why Chavs on Peds don't wave back

10. They only do complicate finger clicking, fist banging hand signs. Like Shaft, except they are skinny, un-cool and white.
9. The are so stoned they think they can do telepathic waves.
8. They don't see you cos they are looking at their 15 year old girlfirends pushing the pram with their twin kids in.
6. (missing 7 cos they can't do maths) It is only the downward pressure of both hands that is keeping the handle bars attached to the ped, plus a bit of (thier mums boyfriend's) gaffa tape.
5. Scurvy from to many pop-tarts, kebabs and chips means they have no upper body strenght.
4. The speedo says they are doing 74 MPH and they better hold on.
3. Cos that hand is used only to pull the helmet down if plod are seen.
2. cc envy makes them bitter.
1. cos, if u dnt ride a ped u r a wnkr.

Sorry all, I seem to have touched a nerve here.

First I was including nods etc with waves 'cause I didn't think they were different. Bikers acknowledging each other on the road are never gay for doing it. Waving (raising a hand) has been around in UK for at least 20 years so I dunno how that makes it American!

& the street racer comment was purely a personal observation, not aimed at everyone. Soz.
