Forget scooters, a cyclist waved at me today

[Danae]

Yep I'm currently riding a scooter. Coming home from uni I go through the domain (weeeee) and as I come up a straight a spot a cyclist coming down and the strangest thing happens. He balls his fist up, thumps it into his chest twice (respect) and points into the sky.
I promptly reply with a "heeeeeey, how you doin" finger point (thumb up, finger pointing). I carry on thoroughly disturbed.

KBer in disguise? Although KBers don't wave to scooter riders, do they?

Hey guys I think we need a special wave!!!! XD

[PirateJafa]

He was pointing at Superman.

[Dooly]

Lets start a new waving thread.
The other ones go on too long.:niceone:

[Danae]

Yeah this one has hardly any posts at all XD

[Cheshire Cat]

Like this :nya: :laugh:

[fergie]

but this one is different, it's about someone who DID wave?:niceone:

I do believe the 'how you doin' gesture can only be performed with both hands simutaniously. I trust that you did indeed do this? Well clear of the bars as well, so that it could be seen.

Might have been jrandom?

Ya I've heard he cycles. If he's around the auckland area could very well have been him :laugh:

Unfortunately I was quite surprised so didn't take my ride hand off the bars. Lack of a tank to grip to and scooter's notorious instability probably meant I would have fallen off anyway. XD So yeah, I don't have the skills bro. :no:

Yeah, you seem pretty special.

[Bend-it]

He was having a heart attack!! Did you call the ambulance??

Was he sporting a fashionable beard, and making sexist comments?

[Danae]

Yeah, you seem pretty special.

My mummy tells me that every day!

I think he wanted a westpac helicopter, he was pointing to the sky and everything.

He was wearing a colourful hat. Very 80s.

Did he look like a lycra clad ham beast - with a small package (well so I have been told)?

[Jacko2]

He "wants" you!

[Danae]

He "wants" you!

Well I'm afraid I led him on with my "how YOU doin?" wave. :no:

[Jacko2]

slut!!!................

[EJT]

Might have been practicing his victory salute. Did he look professional?

[Bend-it]

Professional what?

K' Rd isn't that far away issit?

[Danae]

He was headed in the general direction of K road and looked far too colourful.

[davebullet]

Maybe he had a spaz on the bike?

[HungusMaximist]

He's probably one of those new breeds of single speed/fixed gear cyclists. It's quite a popular trend these days, tricking out their bikes with colourful bits and wearing funky hipster shit.

[jrandom]

I don't wave to scooter or fixed-gear riders.

Anyhoo, my bicycle wave is the lazy-arm sideways salute. That chest-banging sky-pointing shit is just wack.

[Ecclesnz]

Maybe by banging on his chest he was indicating you were being chased by a gorilla, pointing to the sky to indicate he was coming along the powerpoles / lights.

Alternatively he may be the new recruitment officer for the killabeez, since you didn't give the appropriate wave back he may have got your plate details and be hunting you down, as puff soon puff as he puff gets puff up that puff hill.

I think the chemist was running low on medicine for physcosis. They should have some in next week, and the cyclist will come right.

Cheers for the new sig......
