It's not what you ride, it's that you ride...

It's not what you ride, it's that you ride...

True or false?

I was ignored today by a guy on a CBR 600 at traffic lights, presumably because I'm a learner on a 125 or he may just have been a prick.

It doesn't particularly bother me but it got me thinking about biker snobbery, when I get my licence I certainly won't be ignoring L platers at the lights when they're right beside me saying hello.

What's your line of respect? Learners? Chinese bikes? Mopeds? Harleys?

All road users are cunts.

I'm too busy enjoying myself to worry about other road users and their feelings towards me. They invented tinted visors and loud cans for a reason.

Ignored in what way? Did you merely nod at him, or did you start shouting "MOTORCYCLING IS REALLY GREAT ISN'T IT? IT'S LOVELY, SO LOVELY! ALL BIKERS ARE MY BROTHERS! DON'T YOU AGREE? I BET THAT'S FAST ISN'T IT? BET YOU PULL THE BIRDS ON THAT DON'T YOU? I'll HAVE ONE ONE DAY!! BIKING IS SO COOL, HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING? COME BACK!"

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I wonder if the CBR rider was also the van driver and he found you stopping in front of him, getting off the bike and telling him exactly what you thought to be disrespectful.

Upload the videos of the van incident and the CBR rider ignoring you at the traffic lights.

[Beehive Bedlam]

When the cold kicks in and the heard thins I get the nod of approval more so than summer. I never nod unless I get nodded at though.

[zico]

[Ste]

That's why we need to see the video.

[NJD]

Moaaaaaaar nod threads, wheey.

Nod to who you want and don't be effected if they do or don't respond.

I nodded at someone a few weeks ago, then realised it was a 125 so gave him the fucky finger.

You mad?

No need to be so serious. Forums are for discussing these things after all. I'm not crying in the corner, just asking questions and sussing this bike stuff out.

[mentalboy]

Bugger, did I miss a thin disguised nodding thread? I is sad

[lihp]

Why are these threads always made by Loser platers, or Cruiser phags?

I nod when I have my suspension setting on '2 up with luggage' and then hit a pothole.

It's very random who I nod to.
