    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    When I am on the BMW, my pants get in a bunch () at the back of my knees and I stick a leg out to straighten them out. I now know why sports bike guys have those pants with the thin bit on the back of the knee! The joy of being short on a tall bike means I can wave my legs around when needed - looks dorky but who cares?

    (waiting for the inevitable panties in a bunch jokes)

    For me the foot thing means 'I'm too tall for this bike'...

    But otherwise I'm much more of a nodder than a waver though I think that's mostly because I'd prefer to wave with my right hand and usually that's not really an option.

    I thought the foot out means there's a hazard on the road.

    I hope they're not referring to you.

    No foot out explanation but a good guide to motorcyclists hand signals. quite chuckleworthy from 30 seconds in.


    Oh bugger

    the "OMG Hi to you!" was a great clip... I think that one had the cops sign in it, which helped me out not long after when a biker warned me of cops, which was actually a major accident just around a blind corner.

    No, it means "Och, my trouser snake got a cramp being bunched up in these pants!"

    And seeing this is in the Wannabe and Newbie Bikers forum, here's a tip.

    Always lift your head if nodding, that way you don't lose sight of the road as much. Nodding down takes your eyes further from the road - that's why you should never check your speedo!

    And don't lift your left hand off the bar to wave in a left hand curve, while you're a learner you might find some confusion in having to pull with the right hand you still have on the bars to continue the left hand curve.
