Went for a ride today on my scoot and got a nod from a bloke on a Harley.
Now I know that bike riders always give each other the nod when they pass each other, but I didn't think this included crappy little 50's.
I know this may sound a bit soppy, but I feel like I 'belong'.
It seems like we all have respect for each other, almost like a family. Smile
You don't see car drivers doing that!

Respect for the fellow biker Thumbs Up

As a fellow learner legal on an R125 - I love getting a nod!

I was told about it on my CBT, thought it was maybe all the cruisers would do it to eachother or something. On my first ride out on my own I got one at the end of my road, and about 3 in the next 5 minutes, I had a grin like Caspa the ghosts fat brother. I'm not too sure why, I think it must be something to do with feeling like you belong or are part of a club or something? Anyway now I do it to anyone except chav's..

Also, if a biker doesn't nod, but just stares with his ninja like eyes, does he want a fight?!

Heck, I'll nod and wave to anyone. Chinese bike riders, Indian, Korean, Brazilian - in low light, I'll even wave to chaps and chapettes on German, Italian, USian or Japanese heaps. Wink

First time I got a nod I had a smile from ear to ear.

There was a chav (you know the sort, feet on pillion pegs n that) on an SR50 scooter or something of the sort infront of me, and I was about 6 or 7 car lengths behind him on my CG.

Some guy rides the opposite direction on what to me looked like a Ninja 636, didn't nod at the scoot but nodded at me.

Good feeling. Soon got over myself though!

WiiLKO you disagree with what I put? I know I haven't been a member long but I've browsed the forum for ages. I think any older member would agree that this type of thread comes up time and time again. Very boring

Well I don't disagree with what you have said, but I was only wanting to express my opinion.
Yes, I'm obviously not the first to bring about this subject in a thread, but hey...I just wanted to share MY thoughts with the biking community. I honestly couldn't give a rats ass if you're fed up with it.
If it bothers you that much, why waste your valuable time commenting on it in the first place? Wink

This is BCF, not Facebook, no need to keep updating us with every mortal detail of your biking career Wink Thumbs Up

'Nodding' threads are on the same level as 'What 125' or 'What tyres' threads, after a while they get a little tedious Laughing
