we country folk always oblige

Get a 90% hit rate on the nod myself. Don't nod scooters mind you, too similar to a cage.

Going through Clarina today got the full on left hand wave from a green jacket bloke...of course he got the same back, cheered me up no end.

Passed a church funeral also where they had a Garda bike on traffic control, he was off the bike at the time but turned the other way, suppose he was working and not riding.

On my way home, passed 2 tourists, laden to the gills with luggage, not even a nod back to me.

Weird, when we where going through France they'd be waving from across 6 lanes of motorway. Did you notice which country they where from?

No worries.

The French where probably cursing us when on the motorways, too risky to wave back ;-) Waved on most other roads, the only benefit of driving on the wrong side.

I find tourists generally fairly friendly but they're more into the leg shake than the nod or wave.

We live on one of the Rosslare route so see loads of foreign bikes coming from and going to the boat and the majority are friendly (so much so that I'd love to open up a biker cafe beside our house as I'd say we'd get plenty of custom).

The nod appears to be alive and well around Galway

Same in cork, 99% of people who dont nod are snobby lookin geezers on tourers or beemers or big ass choppers. Mind you at the same time, theres a good chunk of them who nod too.

And im a langer for the noddin, scooters and all. Im half tempted some of the time to nod at cyclists but i have to stop myself before lookin like an eejit.

My first day back on the bike after a few months and I got nods from almost every bike I met. It felt great to be back out there

(I was off the bike because I was re-building the engine)
