What's biker protocol for ignoring people at traffic lights?
I used to be happy when people say "cool bike bro'
"What type of bike is that!?"
I used to say something now I just find it annoying
Am I making the rest of bikers look bad or stuck up by ignoring people trapped in cars ?
Yours sincerely.. best looking snobby bike owner.

I had a nice driver get my attention and pointed to the green river of precious radiator fluid running away from my bike at one traffic light.
They're not all bad, and I enjoy showing not all motorcyclists are bad...

Make the most of it. A nod would probably do, and shouldn't be too much trouble.
On a slightly different note I will acknowledge any driver who does something helpful. It may encourage them to be helpful again.
The KB wave is reserved for more joyous occasions. Waving both arms and a foot while standing on the pegs is a bit over the top. :whistle:

Yeah, when I started everybody waved to everybody. Simple. Now there's all sorts of divisions: Harley riders don't wave to anybody, Ducati riders only wave to BMW riders, BMW riders only wave to God.

Personally, I don't care what anyone says. If I am in the mood and desire, I answer. And if I don't want to, I don't answer, and I feel normal.
