The unspoken nod...

[AppleJoe]

Everyone seems to do it, yet I've never heard it spoken about. When you see a bike in oncoming traffic, do you give them a little nod of recognition? Just wondering

Theres about 50 million threads on here where it IS spoken.


The old gits get the hump so expect some karma bashing.

[AppleJoe]

[thegubner]

Have a look in the search function, type the word nod see if anything comes up.

But by god for your own sake, dont reply to an old thread.


The old gits get the hump and will call you names and karma bash you.



As for telling how old is too old for them, your guess is as good as mine.




Good luck on your quest young skywalker.

Funny ive been thinking about posting a thread like this.

I nod, if there looking like there going to, or if they do i will back.

I nod at anyone really, only people who don't nod back are BMW riders in my experience...

The first rule of nod club - is that you do not talk about nod club.

I've been nodded at 3 times. Twice by real bikers and one by another guy on a 'ped.

I don't tend to nod at people as I know I won't get it back. When I've got rid of my L-plates though I will start nodding.

L-plate riders are not worthy to nod at real bikers

[Pete.]

If they are riding a Suzuki I give them a nod and a smile. It it's a Honda they get the bird. Yams get the finger too . Kwakas I try to spit at them but I keep forgetting to open my visor.

Anything Italian I stop and offer them the use of my mobile phone to call the AA

[kitty kat]

I nod to L riders, but not to chavs on peds, sensible ped riders I will nod at though. I don't care whether I get nodded back to, as long as I know I have nodded

Noding started out in 1963, homosexuality was still a great tabboo and one of the outlets gay lads had was to dress up in leather, ride a bike and hang out in bars. The nod was a signal to another biker, if he noded back it meant that he was up for a bit of arse fun.
Real men never nod.

I always nod. It's a good feeling when it's returned from someone on a big sports bike even though I'm on a Pizza hut ped or my 125

Nod? sod nodding. I always wave personally .

[.....]

Who really gives a crap if some random stranger who happens to ride a bike nods at them or not?

[Mudskipper]

I spit at cruiser riders and try to run 50's and other L platers off the road.

Everyone else, I just try to kick them Road Rash stylee.

[Reppyboyo]

I generally get a nod, except from cruisers in the summer.
I dont nod peds unless they are of the sensible kind, aka few and far apart.

I wave to a local guy on a Royal Enfield tho, mahoosive beard on the fella.
