I usually nod to everyone on a motorcycle and people riding a scooter with a motorcycle jacket on (Tells me they're more interested in progressing further, and not just a pedboy).

I personally ride a 125cc though so I have no right to be self-righteous ;p

I nod to nobody.

I do however follow people on L plates for a while then pull up beside them at traffic lights, flip up the front of my lid and ask them:

'So, how do you think you did?'

'Wuh?'

'I'm afraid you failed to perform a satifactory lifesaver at the mini roundabout, forgot to cancel your turn signal on two seperate roads, changed lanes without indicating and I suspect you were speeding at one point although I can't prove it. You also keep a poor road position in general. I'm sorry but on this occasion, it's a fail'.

I then slam down lid, dump clutch and accelerate away on the back wheel.

I take note of those who do not nod back during my commute, and defiantly move my head to face the other direction on subsequent meetings.

King Canute tried to stop nodding threads and failed, why even try?

It depends:

to a black delivery boy on a 125, a brief nod

to a sports bike rider a nod but never a wave. Im afraid he may try and wave back and fall over more forward and break his chin

to a female biker I take both hands off the bars for a finger in hole salute

to a cruiser rider I avoid any eye contact in case he thinks Im queer. And i avoid any such kind of wave

To another white male on any other type of bike, I lift a clenched fist in the WP salute

Fair enough.


I tend to nod at most bikers, the exception often being people on 'peds wearing nike gear

I pretty much agree on searching to find similar posts, but, if someone wanted to add something to an older thread the 'why the b*ll*cks are you reviving a dead thread?' brigade would pipe up. Seems you just cannie win!

As for me, I nod to just about everybody. Nodded to a cyclist the other day...that was just embarassing Embarassed

To whom do I nod?

To those with a basic grasp of grammar.
