Whats the correct etiquette to follow when approaching another biker...

Who nods first and what about when your approaching a row of bikers, do you do the 'nodding dog' acknowledging everyone ?

If it's row of bikers, you don't nod, you wave. Like this.

I head bang when I see a row of them just to make sure they all know I've acknowledged them.

Personally i like to jump onto the seat, do a 'one handed' hand stand whilst waving with the other hand. Do a back flip landing perfectly back on the pegs, and then i do a subtle nod Wink

In reality though, i only get as far as jumping on the seat, at which point i usually fall off Sad

Nodding started amongst the Gay Biker Community and is still mainly a form of signaling your desire to perform homosexual acts. If you do not want spunky teeth do not nod.

Last time I was riding with a group of 20 of us from BCF this weekend we passed a rider who upon seeing all of us simply stuck his flat hand in the air as a kind of "hello" gesture.

How Laughing

I will nod if I see a lone biker or two, but only to the first in a group, and not at all if I am cornering or hammering along as it really put you off when lent right over.

Ah, for the bygone age where chancing upon a fellow motorcyclist, you would pull over, retrieve your spirit burner from under your helmet and prepare a pot of tea to share.

People are always in a rush nowadays.

Watch later series of Red Dwarf for the correct wave. Look for something called the 'Rimmer Salute'. You may need to ride more slowly to complete this before the other bike has passed.

Ahh that takes me back. An old and crusty biker with a scabby helmet producing a lace doilie from his inside pocket and perhaps even sharing his half chewed luncheon pork pie with you.
