Posted September 3, 201113 yr Just wondering what etiquette you all adhere to when passing another human being on 2 wheels. I'm still amazed at the friendliness of some bikers who would acknowledge you in the midst of a force 10 gale while others give the impression you've kicked their cat, stolen their wallet and slept with their wife! And what about those mopeds ? Do they ignore us bikers out of fear or some odd inverted snobbery ????
September 4, 201113 yr Moderator As above unless at a meet as my head would fall off. I only see around 4 other bikers a day so that is good in this respect.
September 5, 201113 yr Nod!! Its good manners and always gud to see someone prefering two wheels just like ourselves!!
September 5, 201113 yr I nod to all bikers (even old bill) but find a lot dont nod back mainly Harley and BMW riders
September 5, 201113 yr always nod, sometimes wave, occasionaly flash lights, cos im such a nice guy, or maybe an attention seeker, hey im over here fuckwit.
September 6, 201113 yr Yep I'm a nodder big time. The only exception I make is to the 16 year olds on their twist and go's. A 16 year old on something thats one down and five up is different though for some reason! Go figure
September 6, 201113 yr Im 21 and on L-plates, running a dt125, The flash gits on there flash super-sports dont nod, i do for laughs , everyone else does thou Put it down to the L-plate i guess
September 6, 201113 yr if you don't get your return nod, give em the finger, too see if that gains a response.
September 7, 201113 yr if you don't get your return nod, give em the finger, too see if that gains a response. Could be difficult when your passing each other at a Squillion Miles Per Hour
September 7, 201113 yr I nod at bikers. Not at scooters though. I had a scooter back in the day, so I know how they think. I wave at harley riders though, just because it's fun because you won't get any responce back from them. (still even now I've got a nearly cruiser!)
September 7, 201113 yr hiya , carolx i had you a bed made up at squires , right next to mine, a shame you couldn't make it,
September 8, 201113 yr Like Acid drop, i think the BMW. / harley brigade , think thier superior, ,,, i find mopeds & learners are shy to the waving, i give them a nod too.
September 8, 201113 yr Moderator Wasnt there a Cartoon character called "Noddy" He nodded at everyone Why have elephants got big ears......................................................Because Noddy wont pay the ransom! Old joke, for old folk. Sorry.
September 10, 201113 yr Nod to as many as I can, even the scoots Scoots dont rrsond at all, apart from the finger. Power rangers, rarely Harleys, occaisionally. I reckon its an age related thing, hence I link it to manners
September 10, 201113 yr who does the side nod, and who does the frontal nod, im a twitch to the side nodder.

I reckon its an age related thing, hence I link it to manners Yeah - I agree. It really is for the most part a question of manners. Still - it's hard not to feel like a bit of a pleb when another bikers seems to totally ignore you
