Mallory1 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Riding home from work today behind some chump on a BMW who : 1. Didn't acknowledge a single driver for pulling in to let him past - and there were a few and 2. When I happened to end up sitting on his wing at the next set of traffic lights - I looked over to give a wee nod - ignorant git didn't even turn his head :madflame: What is up with some bikers ???? I know we can all have a bad day and would gladly kick everything in sight while on 2 wheels but I've passed so many bikers recently who are either legally blind and don't see me or must suspect I've killed their dog & slept with their wife - or is itt the other way round? Rant over ! Something funny .... read the reviews and buy at your peril. You have been warned ! http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B000KKNQBK

Ttaskmaster Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 These are called Summer Riders and are often complete pricks... Thank them for whacking up your insurance rates and wish them a swift sale on their bike when they crash/tire of it (hopefully to you, for rock-bottom prices).
Noise Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I see one on a regular basis and i started off nodding, (nothing back in return) next time i waved (nothing) then i gave a sarcastic wave (still nothing) then the next time and still to this day i either give him the victory V or the international wanker symbol and guess what!!!??? i get a response every time now JOB done!
Grouch Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 When I first got my bike in March I noticed straight away other bikers nodding at me. Now no one does.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 20, 2012 Moderator Posted June 20, 2012 It does seem that the riders who you see during January nod. The ones that you only see on summer days (with all the expensive gear), don't. As for BMW riders......................................................
clarke Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I get less nods since I got the scooter than when I had the fazer... At the mo I reckon 1 in 10 will nod back, in winter it's more like 9 in 10.
DkD Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Even when at lights now other motorcyclist look at me / the bike. I give a nob and they just turn the other way.... Definitely true what has been said about summer riders..
