Makes me a bit sad when...

Like many other I started out riding jap bikes way back in the day and Harley riders would never wave back but today even when riding the Beemer I don t think ive ever encountered a Harley rider not wave back.
Moped riders are the worst, they never wave back

Only lads riding cruisers are afraid to take one hand off the bars in case they loose control:pac:
If im overtaking believe im going fast
In all seriousness though, il wave if I pass someone on the other side of road but if I overtake I wont. Nothing to do with rudeness just not bothered, id hope nobody would take offence, I wouldnt.0 -

I've been out on the bike a lot lately.
Some give a head nod, some a wave of the hand, and some a leg out. So, is it like "Rock, Paper, Scissors" as to which is the better acknowledgement of another rider?
I'll almost always acknowledge a rider coming towards me, unless I am occupied with something else (changing gear, turning, changing lane, etc). I don't think I've ever overtaken another biker. :rolleyes: But, if a biker overtakes me, I wouldn't expect a wave.
But, in the confines of the city, I seldom get/give a wave. Too much going on that requires your attention.0 -

I got a nod from a bike cop in the Phoenix Park. I came off the round-a-bout at the Wellington monument and took the north exit onto Chesterfield Avenue and wheelied ~ up the road a bike cop was riding behind a car, he gave me a nod ~ and I rode like the devil on horseback to make distance :pac:
Another guard gave me a bollocking one day for wheeling. I was on a work bike (army dispatch rider), had raced another lad through Phibsboro and at the Smurfit chicane I wheeled right/left onto Botanic Road ~ I got pulled, and a bollocking "you're in uniform blah blah blah, the public are looking at you blah blah blah" ~ the only one nodding at that one was me "yes, sorry, yes, sorry, I'll never do it again your Gardaship, I'm REALLY sorry ~ don't tell the army".
That was about twenty years ago, but he put the frighteners on me (for about ten minutes
). 0 -

On a GT550 twenty plus years ago :pac:
You were super high tech if you had self cancelling indicators back then, and a working side stand switch was pure opulence 0 -
