Nothing personal...

[Freddo]

I'm more sad everyday by noticing that less and less people nod, From I come from, the "nod" is most of the time a clear "hi" from the left hand...
Would I have more responce by giving the finger to everyone? I'll try, so if it s you...nothing personal, I'm just testing...

[hyofighter]

i too have noticed the lack of the "nod" going on , i havent passed you on the road havent seen the "bird" , but riding a hyosung i get a lot of pointin the finger and laughing , in general people are just getting more rude

[BillyWhizz888]

Right thats it....

Lets all stick up the finger from now on, that way we know we will get a responce :D

[zx12argh]

I always nod - never get it back when i'm on the dirt bike tho.

[Funkenfresh]

i like to nod

[Hagarr]

The Nod was never really a West Oz thing its only been the last couple of years since that started but it was (as far as my riding days go) always on the east coast.

[Iceman]

This was brought up on the east a while ago too. I put it down to motorcycles being more fashonable these days and owned by dickheads rather than the majority being real enthusiests like it used to be.

[Bear]

I sorta tilt more than nod. A tilted nod? :D

[Chrimsey]

I agree theres a Lot more Faceless Tools riding These days who dont Understand Comradeship, People who ride cos its cheap to commute to there dead Pan job in a City hi rise, You can tell these folk as there bike is dirty(ok Mine is at moment But i wanna wash it soon) and There tyres are Bridgestone Battalaxes that where bald when they brought the bike and they usually have stock Exhausts and faded Perished Screens,oh and a Shoei helmet that is Hypercolour like in the 90's.

[hyofighter]

that discibtion sounds alot like you brenton , have you been looking in the mirror again:D

[kookaburra]

yeh not just that but as a people we are just getting more arrogant and rude alot of people just think that they are better than you . i was at a set of lights on tonkin hwy the other day this dude was looking streight at me , i gave the nod and no responce from him . i thought what a rude prick , the lights went green and i built a bridge .

[Chrimsey]

My helmet is Red Scot, Ya Big Doosh!!

[rod185651]

I like to nod, wave etc, but riding home from work today I realised that I'm guilty of probaly ignoring alot of other riders. You see I'm concentrating on what the other fuckwit road users are doing, being a fuckwit myself lane splitting etc,checking out some hot chick's arse and generally ensureing I don't end up a statistic, if I see another bike I like to acknowledge them but sometimes I realise too late that someone has nodded or waved and I have passed them already. And if you ride a tractor forget about it you'll never get a nod or wave.;)[8D]:D

[morrigan]

At the risk of sounding racist, I've found that the nesbies and the fully sick bros are the ones that don't acknowledge. Found the same situation driving a semi - used to get the left flasher going past once, but now: nuttin'

[Chrimsey]

Tractor riders get a Slightly Different Finger and Wrist action, Good fun Holdin it flat past Some Boys with colours and grotty Harleys usually in a Bunch of 5 or More, I dont think they appreciate The Slightly Muffled TL1000s swingin past then on a Nice Highway. he he
