New(ish) rider in Auckland (Aldon29)

[Aldon29]

Hi all

I'm a new-ish rider in Auckland. Ridden farm-bikes aplenty over the years, recently took the plunge and got a licence and bike.
Riding a Hyo gt250r, often keen for a jaunt around town if there are any happening.

And does anybody do 'the nod'? I've been nodded to a few times, and nod back. Just wondering if some do it, and others don't.

Anyway, cheers.

See you on the road
Al

Nodding is a sign that the other rider wants to fight you bro.

Agreed, it's just like when a cat raises it hackles or hisses at you. Best to give the Nodder a wide berth.

He lies. He's the only one who attends who indeed bites.

Welcome to KB :)

People on sports bikes usually always nod/wave, but for some reason riders on Harley's don't like to wave back. Why? I don't know :o

But not if the KB nod is used

Sweet as Al sounds good! I'm pretty much the same. Have also taken a few trips out to maraitai and up to kawakawa. There are some great corners up that way :).
