Thank you for not waving

[Maha]

To those who dont fuckin' wave or nod at me ever, thank you very very much!
The pressure that some bikers might endure must be horrendous!
Oh fuck, here comes a bike, should I wave? should I nod? will they wave or nod back? :(
Will they think im an arse for not waving or nodding if they do it first?
Should I use just one finger? :finger:
Lucky I have my tinted visor on, they cant see me.....can they? :shifty:
Shit they are getting closer, I must decide NOW! :sweatdrop
I dont know them, they dont know me, I owe them nothing, they owe me nothing.

OMG my heart rate has increased to failure rate! :shit:

Fuckers! they went by without even noticing me at all....:crybaby:
Heart rate coming back down, I can now concertrate on the job at hand.

[MIXONE]

Removing a hand from the bars is considered "bad form.":shit:

Just nod, ya old coot. If they don't nod/wave back, at least you can pretend that you were just checking your speedo...

[Gremlin]

you think too much

[rustic101]

I laugh at the reaction I get when I circle my finger above my head indicating a Highway Patrol unit in the vicinity.. It must look funny but the amount of individuals I give it too look at me like I'm a retard or on my way to a rodeo ..

Guess they all do not follow the KB threads

Is it still a nod if you do the upward head movement thingy?

[DMNTD]

Is it still a nod if you do the upward head movement thingy?

When up Norf...yup

[Pussy]

I generally do the pelvic thrust. It's just more "friendly"

[sugilite]

Hell no, surely you know that is actually called a don

[reemit]

Longest way up, shortest way down, cant go wrong then.

[Genie]

Jolly good post there....how many heads did you just crawl into?

:rofl::rofl:

[Mudfart]

i take my left hand off the bars to wipe the water mist off my visor when riding in heavy fog, which is approx every 10-15seconds......otherwise you ride blind.
also i wave to riceburners, tourers etc....no cruiser bike has ever waved back, so i gave it up. they are always too busy showing everyone they got attitude. it must take a lot of practice and concentration.

I've had many a whirley bird cruiser go past me...they be the bestest wavers ever, it's the sportsters that are too busy they have no time to wave.....looking for the next twistie I is thinking

[sinfull]

I turn my blinker on like the twuckies (but nobody blinks back) I'm sure if i persist long enough someone will !

Post war Morris Minors had bloody good indicators, they were wavercators.

[Laava]

When up Norf...yup

That is the "Chur bro!"
The downwards nod means; roll that up, open that bottle or your turn with it!

[boman]

Post war Morris Minors had bloody good indicators, they were wavercators.

I so had one of these as my first car. Damn things used to stick out all the time. Eventually put blinkers on it to pass a WOF.

[Mom]

I am not sure I will ever be able to nod downwards at someone again after reading that :lol:

Dear God I am now reduced to thinking about whether I nod up or I nod down.

Bloody Maha :killingme

PS: I flashed a cop in the car by accident the other day, was attempting to turn off my cruise control that was set at a tad over the limit when he hove into sight, instead of pushing the button on the stalk I pulled it towards me :o

[Genie]

now it's becoming far too much pressure

[Ocean1]

Post war Morris Minors had bloody good indicators, they were wavercators.

Trafficators I believe they were called. Were lucky if they survived from one WOF to the next.

[Dadpole]

Spare a thought for us folk out in the sticks. The moment I get out of my drive the waving starts. Do you wave to every bike in town?
During the first ten minutes of any ride I get more waves than Piha. I will have to either fit a 'wavy machine' or buy a HD.

I got waved at the other by the local Buell Dude, one Mr nallac, and I was in my Work Van, its gettin outta hand I tell ya.
OK, on this occassion I know him, but thats doesn't mean that I should feel the glee and warm fuzzys just because someone who I probably dont know (and will never know) may or may not acknowledge my presence on the road.

[Genie]

oh helll... i see this going to join that other ...big waving thread in the sky

PS: I flashed a cop

Onya Mom!!!

[normajeane]

I think those sequential blinkers are the BEST. Can i have some on my mirrors??

[sinfull]

I'm in full controll of "TITS" my touretts thank you "CUNT" very much

Really drives you in-say-hay-hay-ay-ay-ayn......

Let's do the time warp again!

p.s. I always try to wave. I'd always make sure I'd flick you a wave Mark!

[MadDuck]

What an absolute wanker....bloody showing off his flash Buell :love:

[JATZ]

While were on the subject of waving, or not.......I was behind a gaggle of mountain bikers the other day when a flock of lycra wearing road bikers rode past the other way. The mountain bikers waved to the road bikers :wavey: but the road bikers ignored the mountain bikers :nono:
Seems we are not alone in this waving quandry

[CookMySock]

Depends how stoned ya are! :lol:

Steve

[Rogue Rider]

Agreed, one in say 5 wave back. I wave or rather nod to all, even those big silly coots on the goldwings, and people wearing those homo looking hi-vis things that kep them seen.
I also nod the cruisers, ricies tend to wave or reply, even some of the other patchers do to, but only when they solo, after all images to maintain......
If they don't wave back, I assume they are to busy concentrating on the traffic and not crashing.......

[Dadpole]

If I am in a stirring mood, I make sure I wave to all the cruiser types. Not a half-hearted wave, but a full in the air wave not even a blind man could miss. I can only speculate on their thoughts about that. A surprising number wave back if they are alone though.
I had a good laugh recently on the way to Hastings. Picture a large Jappa in front, then a dayglow scooter then another large Jappa. The lead bike got the wave then they would spy the scooter with me behind. This usually lead to a slow lifting if the hand till the scoot had passed then I got the wave. Lots of mindless entertainment...

[Blackshear]

I couldn't believe it, but my mate gave me shit for nodding down, not jerking my head up.
Apparently, his way is youthful, while mine is for older gentlemen.


I also do the horn pull to truckies.

And I signal them to toot their horn.

:shifty:

[Mom]

a full in the air wave not even a blind man could miss...

Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

Thank you, my new wave, I expect to be ignored by many when I deliver it, but you never know, I may get the full monty back at me in return :D

Alas, all is not as it seems! :shifty:

I wave with my dick, it's the only limb not involved with the control of my bike, so it has got nothing else to do but wave around anyway! :yes:

The only problem is that at this time of the year it doesn't make the same impact as a summer wave but believe me it does wave! (especially to lady bikers!) :whistle:

[MadDuck]

I wave with my dick, it's the only limb not involved with the control of my bike.....

Really? I would have thought that most men ride with ... oh well never mind :blink:

[crystalball]

is it normal to wounder if you should or shouldint wave at the harley doods lol.

[bogan]

is it normal to wounder if you should or shouldint wave at the harley doods lol.

nah always wave to the harley guys, funny watching em get the speed wobbles if they try to wave back :lol:

its them scooter riders I worry about, them small wheels they use just don't sit right with me :no:

[steve_t]

Bored Maha? Starting a non-waving thread :laugh::laugh: Wonder if the mods will merge it with the nodding one...

What an absolute wanker....bloody showing off his flash Buell :love:
Too true, I could have easily run him over.

This is totally different, its not a waving thread, its a 'non-waving thread', it stands alone.

[Laava]

Tried and tested, but fail, just steams up the visor. :shifty:

Removing a hand from the bars is considered "bad form.":shit:Having your hands on more then 1 bar at a time sounds awful friendly too :shifty:


I generally do the pelvic thrust. It's just more "friendly"I tried that for a while Pussy, never got a wave back :scratch:
But gave cave weta a bit of a surprise though... not the same when a pillion is it?! :blink:

[hellokitty]

Watch out for " Chorus " work vans - got a lot of "waving" - actually raised fist, wanking hand movements and the finger when they tried to run me off the road - waited until I was halfway through the roundabout (I had right-of-way), watched me and then pulled out, cut me off and then slammed their brakes on and did the hand gestures.
Must be stupid to drive like that in a work vehicle....... (or maybe just Auckland drivers)

[Maha]

That is the "Chur bro!"
The downwards nod means; roll that up, open that bottle or your turn with it!

I have the downward nod thing happening at about 3am and after a rather large amount of drink has passed from bottle to me!
But thats the only time.

[MSTRS]

Appletons and gravity - a deadly combination.

[ynot slow]

The scary thing is waving at 'Onda riders,cause you're not sure if the limp wristed salute is cause they're gay or tired.

Appletons and Gravity are in partnership.

No point in being Gay if you are tierd Tony, wheres the fun in that?
Thats more a hetro thing aint it?

[LiamBirkett]

I've only been riding for a few days and I have been kind of disappointed in how many people dont wave back to me. Maybe my waves are too enthusiastic... Im getting about 50% response. Better stats for head nods though. Do people not like to wave?

[ellipsis]

...i wouldn't really worry about it Liam...:no:...

[EJK]

Someone please enlighten me...

How the FUCK can you possibly, ever, somehow, just simply FIND and dredge old-dead and buried threads???

How the fuck man? How?!

I can't even find threads such as this even if I tried!

Personally I'm usually to busy texting and scrolling the net for some new banjo tunes while eating catfood and listening to my Shania CD's to wave, but I do sometimes swerve towards other riders and try to hi-five instead. For some reason they never hi-five back. Shunned :(

[Dangsta]

I wave to everyone and rotate between fistpumps, finger-points, thumbs-up and cool "hey there" waves. I acknowledge riders so much I'm sure this is why my right arm is slightly more developed than the left arm. That has to be the reason....yeah....totally..:bye:

[unstuck]

I aint waving to any of you fuckers, motorcycles are dangerous enough without taking my hands off the bars.:oi-grr:





Besides, Im usually so wasted I can only see a couple of meters.:crazy:

Damn straight. It's also dangerous to put your beer down to free up a hand to wave unless your bottle holder is DOT rated :crazy:

When I wave and someone waves back, it's like awesome, you rock! But when I wave and they don't, it's like bummer dude, what's your problem...it's an emotional roller-coaster :eek5:.

I have an internal sun visor so same diff. I think it's the thought that counts.

I am guilty of waving at bikes I pass in the middle of a corner with a bit of lean on. Amazin how many riders don't wave back. Bassids!:weep: The ones that do think about it usually wobble.
I think this blatant attempt to unsettle other riders is worthy of a roasting thread.

[unstuck]

I wave to bikes from the car or truck, but the bastards never wave back, and it's causing me issues. Just mean I tell ya.:baby:

Hehe, come on people, you can't complain if someone actually uses the search function, like you always tell them to, and then finds these really old threads.

I love it when people dredge out interesting older threads. :2thumbsup: How else should I spend the time when I'm actually supposed to be working? ;)

And thanks to the rider and his pillion who both waved back very enthusiastically on the road between Cambridge and Taupo yesterday. You guys made me smile. :)

We have a special KB wave. But it's so top secret that no one actually knows what it is.

Awww actually I'm a sucker for a good wave myself :o.

[Ripperjon]

Had a sweet ride yesterday, over to Wanaka and back.
Passed all sorts of bikes going both ways and everyone must've been having a good day cos i think everyone waved/nodded/did the old two fingers pointing down thing, even the cruisers.
Mind you, we were riding in a mixed group of sweet customs and sports bikes ourselves.
Maybe we can all be friends after all!:yes:
