Do people still "nod" these days!?

[Raffles]

If I'm waiting to pull out of a side road in my car or van and I see an approaching biker, I always nod to him/her. In doing so I'm acknowledging that I've seen them and I'm not going to pull out and SMIDSY 'em.
They invariably return the nod!

I nod to other dog walkers, if they're also in bike gear.

Wheey we've begun the annual cycle of nod threads.

There's a formula (order of threads re-appear) that winter has made me long since forget.

Scooter boy didn't nod back at me today, many sadness. Saying that footage shows I left my indicator on, noob.

What pisses me of is, nod - nothing, nod - nothing, nod - nothing, nod - nothing, sod this I'm not nodding to the next one, the next bike comes along, usually a scooter and he nods, just too late for me to nod back. Then I get the guilt, he thinks I'm a twat because I'm on a big bike and don't nod to scooter riders. Bugger! Nod - nothing, nod - nothing, nod - nothing, etc etc.

Yup - I nod at all bikers and give a small wave at those that are passing me. I'm just a pleasant guy.

I pass many bikes during the week going to and from work. I nod at all if I am not busy looking at the world around me, this includes peds. Chances are I put most of them on the road in the first place.

I’m a fat grandma on a YBR. But boobs and long blonde hair hanging below helmet means everyone nods.
Though also means you can’t stop for a fag without everyone stopping to ask if you’re ok.

[trevor saxe-coburg-gotha]

Yay - tri-annual nodding thread! Frickin love these, I do.

Concentrate on the road.[/quote]

Because the computing power of my brain is so vast, I can actually concentrate on the road and think about trivial things like nodding.

Can't you?
