Biker nod - From a Cruiser !!!!

[soforene]

I know.
I know.
You're looking at the thread title and thinking WTF!?! GTFO!?! OMG!?!

There I was today, pootling up the A49 from Whitchurch towards Chester, minding my own business and giving the occasional nod to fellow bikers coming the opposite way when this dude on a cruiser comes towards me and gives me THE NOD.
I was so surprised that I nodded back but immediately thought WTF !!
I was almost tempted to lock the back wheel in a 180, tear after him, drag him from his bike and explain the rules of nodding.

Cruisers don't nod to other bikes !!

I've tried to justify it in my mind by thinking he was a comparative noob and therefore ignorant of The Rules(praise be to ALLAH for The Rules).

But I do hope it's not the start of a slippery slope............

I'm getting used to the biker nods,now i'm off my 125.When I have a biker nod and nod back it makes me feel good inside.It's almost as if it's a fellowship nod.

I nodd to most bikes... Maybe not mopeds as half of them aren't aware of 'nodding' but if they nodd, ill nodd.

Cruisers are no different. Still a bike, although not as good, in speed or handling but they like it, so what difference does it make. I'd still nodd if they nodd.

I nod to everybody. I don't tend to nod at cruisers/choppers, however I still like to nod at everybody. I may be on a scooter, but I'm not a chav and I do wear full biker gear and because of that, I do get nods from "geared" bikers. My scooter is a stepping stone towards a geared motorcycle!
