Waving - the neverending saga (multiple threads merged into one)

Wow - almost 2,000 posts now.

I think I'll read the whole thing right from the start...

Like trying to understand Chaos, it'll drive you mad.

[scumdog]

Where can I buy insurance?

Are radar detectors legal?

What sort of bike should I buy?

Should I wear all of the fucking gear all of the fucking time?

Countersteering: what's that all about then?

Sigh.

Don't forget the homo Honda owners, the stuck up Harley wankers and the tooth-paste tube suit wearing squids Mr H...oh and the wanker cops that stop people who are doing nothing wrong...

Riding home form this arvo and had a half doz at least bikes going opposite direction. I waved, no wave back. Is it me or does no one wave any more?

I wave, but I don't ride a Harley. They don't wave coz they can't control their bikes with one hand :innocent:, not coz they're tough :shutup:

Lotsa guys don't wave anymore, perhaps they don't see because they aren't looking around. Silly boys :facepalm:

[Tigadee]

I wave unless I'm really conentrating on what's happening in front of me [e.g. lots of traffic]. :shifty:

Sometimes I nod instead if I need both hands on the handlebar...

You know who doesn't wave? Dem peeps on scooters! 99% of them don't wave! In fact, some of them even have the gall to violently pull off the road and crash when they suffer shock that a KBer [me] deigned to bother to wave to them!

[curly]

Is a nod a wave?:innocent:

I tend to salute, depending on my mood and how much I like the other dudes bike. Funnily enough not too many do it back... (especially those Harley gangs).

But especially on an abysmal day when you see another biker bearing the weather they deserve a good on ya mate. :yes:

[slofox]

Only if it's the official "KB Nod"...

I did that the other day... Both knees down, bike's wheels up in the air, waving for help...:facepalm:

There was a big wave in Japan a few months back.

Funny, I was just thinking on the ride home tonight (having delivered a couple of nods and having them returned) that it was about time someone started another waving thread.)

i wave to sportbike riders, dont really wave to hog riders, but i do give them the odd flash of my lights of the signal for "cops" ahead when there is nothing around, just like to fuck with them, but il let any sportbike guy know if iv passed a cop and they are heading towards it.

[Parlane]

I normally give a nod, sometimes a wave. Doesn't matter what type of bike. I've even had a nod back from a harley :P And I'm on a honda!

Plenty don't nod or wave back though. Kind of saddening. Especially when they are other sport bikers. All seem to be fully focused on what is directly in front of them. Funny thing is that I go the same route each day, and see the same bikes. I still nod to the ones who don't nod back. Maybe one day...

[Haggis2]

Can of worms much? :facepalm:

[shrub]

Bloody scooter riders never wave back - do they think they're better than me or something? And the same goes with cyclists and pedestrians - the only ones that wave back are pretty girls in short skirts - they always give me the peace sign when i wave at them.

The wave or nod can have its down side as well, a few weeks back i gave a nod to a a rider on a 250 bandit/hornet/commet(im not shure what bike it was) and hge waved back, just as he waved, the car in front put its brakes on for a pedestrian crossing, said 250 bandit/hornet/commet, locked up at least the rear, maybe even the front for a second, but managed to keep it right side up and came to a stop just down the inside of the car, good skills mate :cool:

The fear of that exact scenerio is why I nod on most occasions instead of waving. Just don't feel fully comfortable taking my hand off the clutch atm. Only times I wave is when there is no one in front of me, or traffic is very light.

Yeah. This dude did the finger up and rotate like the old spinning light atop the car. I hadta have a really good look to make sure which finger he had up. Initially I thought it was the middle one but as I got closer I saw it was indeed the index finger...("gimme the fuckin' finger is it then? CUnt! I'll fuckin'...errrr oh hang on, wrong finger! coughcough"). So that was all right then.

[Parlane]

scumdog or rastuscat:

Is it illegal to notify another road user of a stationary patrol car? I assume flicking the lights is illegal as there are rules about when you can use high beams. But a hand signal ?

Been thinking I should wear my full gear when in the cage. So they know! I have a feeling the special wave reply would be the middle finger... And not just from harleys.

[Tigadee]

Wear your helmet while driving in the car? That way they know you're a really biker trapped in a cage?

Was it a yellow Bandit? Cause that may have been me...

[Old Steve]

I'm an equal opportunity waver/nodder. I usually wave if the road is straight, once waved my left hand near a left hand curve which taught me to nod in such situations.

And if you're nodding, lift your head (don't nod your head downwards) - lifting your head lets you keep your eyes on the road!!!

I wave or nod to:

Other cruisers
HOGs or non-HOGs
Gang or non-gang
Sports bikes in all circumstances
Police cars and bikes (hey, if I have a bin they're the guys who will be there untangling as much as is possible - who would want their job, they deserve a wave or a nod)
Scooter riders
Pretty ladies in cages.

I also nod or wave to bikers when driving a cage

I do the Cop ahead wave, left hand above the head, index finger pointed up, rotate hand - like a flashing light

On REAL motorcycles ... the rear brake is operated by the right foot ( some peculiar manufacturers have put it on the left :rolleyes: ) this leaves the left hand free to wave ... :banana:

[Furyos J]

i think so, it was on newlands road heading south, pedestrian crossing by blackrock road. If it was you, good skills in avoiding a sticky situation! I was on a black CBR, black helmet, black jacket etc

I rode past two cops once and they didn't wave so I just thought bad things about them.
Do you wait to be waved at or wave out first? Sometimes I wave first and they dont wave back so I feel stupid so mainly I just wait to be waved at.

[Tigadee]

I don't care if they wave back or not, I just do it 'cos I'm cool...

Sometimes I forget to wave back if I'd been concentrating in front of me so much I failed to notice a fellow biker coming the other way till too late, so I don't feel bad if they don't wave back.

[James Deuce]

Waving is simply a slap that didn't connect.

[hellokitty]

A guy waved at me today - his sports bike was parked at the side of the road. Because I took my hand off the throttle to wave back, I lost speed and as I cruised around the corner, there was the cop :laugh: waiting for someone to pull over.

The moral of the story is that you should wave cos it may save you from a speeding ticket.... because 5km over is still a speeding!

Kids are good to wave too lol they often get so excited when waved to LOL

I remember getting excited as a little fella when the Hells Angels in Rotorua used to wave to me, was about then I decided i was gonna be a biker LOL ..... soooooooooooo its all their fault mum hahahahaha

I also wave thanks to the cars that move over for me (not sure if its out of courtesy or cos a leather clad bloke on a big noisy cruiser is up his tail LMAO

Sometimes I wear a matt black open face lid, sometimes a full face. I find when I'm wearing the open face most Harley riders wave, but a lot of sportsbikes don't, and vice versa. I guess it comes down to feeling a connection/commonality with the other rider, and somehow we have ended up with this idiotic idea that the type of bike you ride defines who you are.

A few weeks ago I was sitting at the lights and a young guy pulled up beside me on a crappy scooter. I said gidday and commented on what a nice day it was, he was stoked and said he loved bikes and wanted one, but bikers never acknowledged him and he reckoned most bikers were so far up themselves they were inside out.

But pretty girls on scooters NEVER wave, and NEVER, EVER flash their funbags at me. Bitches.:angry2:

I wave (or nod if I'm in the middle of a gear change etc) to all bikers. It's always interesting to see if they respond but I'm not worried if they don't. I do however chuckle when certain cruiser riders do the quick head lift.

Or the hairdresser on the Harley who wasn't paying attention while signalling to another biker.
He crashed into a concrete truck and ended up with a permanent wave.

[idb]

...or a huge, overly-demonstrative and vigorous wave by a cop as he turns to chase you as if to say "you don't now but you'll soon-know-me"



I'm just happy here playing by myself

[idb]

...or would the lead guitarist of Queen give a Brian-wave?

[ducatilover]

Stop drinking mate :bleh:

[idb]

How about shaking an encyclopaedia at each other as we ride past?
That would, of course, be a knowledge-wave.

[Fast Eddie]

...or would the lead guitarist of Queen give a Brian-wave?

ha, that ones a bit of a stretch brah

[Fast Eddie]

How about shaking an encyclopaedia at each other as we ride past?
That would, of course, be a knowledge-wave.

if we only wave at each other when its high or low tide, is that a tidal wave?

[idb]

Of course, a Russian would give a waveski.

[idb]

Stop drinking mate :bleh:

The embarrassing truth is that I'm not.

[idb]

To save any effort at all you could mount a picture of an arm waving permanently to your bike.
That would be...oh, I don't know...a sign-wave?

[idb]

When you're riding in a group you could take it in turns to wave to bikes coming the other way...that would be a wave pool.

[idb]

If you waved accidentally, ... yep, a rogue wave.

[sinfull]

When you're riding in a group .Tsunami ..........

[ducatilover]

Wave a metric ruler so we're on the same wave length?

[Asher]

Seeing a large group of riders do the Mexican wave would make my day.

[scumdog]

The embarrassing truth is that I'm not.


Now that IS embarrassing!:devil2:

I was wiping my visor last evening (5:30 ish) and someone thought I was waving at them, fuck off, I was not.

My own company and the voices within keep me occupied thank you very much.

[Swoop]

If you whistle as a form of waving, would that be a sonic wave?

Can't let ldb play all by himself, can we...

[Tigadee]

If a woman rider flashes her boobs at you, is that a wave front?

[unstuck]

No, that is called a mammory wave.:niceone:

[ducatilover]

If a woman rider flashes her boobs at you, is that a wave front?

Not at all, it's just great.

[Tigadee]

If you head bang :headbang: while waving, is that a brain wave? Or only when you shout "Eureka" while waving?

[idb]

A wave from a Harley rider to a scooter would be a shock wave...

[Phantom Limb]

and I thought we were just one big happy biker family :-(

Yeah right!
Have you ever recieved a nod / wave / acknowledgment of any kind from a Harley rider? I sure haven't!

A breed unto themselves ;)

[Flip]

I get a wave from most of them most of the time.

It's the gays on sports bikes that don't wave IMHO.

[nighthawk]

:banana: And here we go.......Again :Playnice:

[duckonin]

Must be raining ! :nya:

[Phantom Limb]

Well...
I don't get a lot of HAND waves from sportbikers, but they do seem to enjoy waving at me with their right leg!
How did this 'leg wave' business start? I have a theory that taking a hand off the bars of a supersport could potentially result in trouble, so perhaps the right leg is the safe bet?

When (and if) you become part of the in-crowd, you'll learn about the secret KB wave.

How is this going again?

Same here. Waves from most HD riders...

Some sportsbikers wave but those that were busy hanging on for dear life... :laugh:

Leg wave usually means "I need to piss" or "Och! My pants snake cramped!" but may also mean "Piss off or I'll kick ye off yer bike!"

Sometimes I don't wave because I'm too focused on the heavy traffic around me or going fast that I don't notice the other biker coming the other way. Otherwise I'll always nod or wave, esp. if I'm having a nice relaxed pootle.

[Phantom Limb]

HA!
Is that Right? At first I thought it meant, 'lifting a leg on you'
Eg: Your ride sucks so ima' piss on you like a dawg! :crazy:

[James Deuce]

The leg wave is a common European practice and may be symptomatic of an economy where proper, waving Kiwi Bikers can't afford to buy nice sports bikes, or somehow, all Kiwi sport bike riders are suddenly sans license at the same time, leaving those pommy bastards with their Power Rangers leathers and GSXRs covered in anodised bolts and tacky stickers the only sports bike riders on the roads. Either way it's a legitimate greeting.

If I took my foot off the peg to "wave" I'd crash.

I have a brilliant new Reevu helmet and nodding makes me want to throw up, so I don't nod.

I don't wave either because if I take my hands off the bar it's a sign to sheep everywhere to launch a kamikaze attack on motorcyclists everywhere.

[Phantom Limb]

Thanks for clearing that one up, it sure seems to unsettle the bike mind you, not recommended whilst in traffic ;)

[James Deuce]

It would fall off. It's barely attached. I'm so un-hip it's already off to one side.

[huff3r]

If I drive a convertible, does that mean I wave to Honda riders only?

[caspernz]

Last week, I'm almost ashamed to admit...I waved to a few riders on bikes. Then I waved at what looked like a big touring bike, only to find it was only one of them super sized scooters, complete with confused rider...all I got in return was a blank stare...and it wasn't a Honda! :(:brick:

[rustic101]

Nah, I just put it down to more of them super sized scooters being around...I can live with not getting a wave back, it's like waving at a Harley or BMW rider most of the time when I'm on my rice rocket... :(

[onearmedbandit]

I get a wave from most of them most of the time.

It's the gays on sports bikes that don't wave IMHO.

I'd be concerned if the gay ones were waving. How do you tell a gay one from a straight one? Excluding the obvious Honda jokes.

And he asked you? Did he need a wheel chock to stop it rolling back down the ramp or something?

[Big Dave]

Must have been exciting when the Trans-Alp actually caught up with something.

[XP@]

Must have been exciting when the Trans-Alp actually caught up with something.
Nah, I'm getting a little board of the old catching and passing game. So if you get a right handed wave(got to keep on topic) by a guy on a blue Transalp, by all means turn around and try catch me, I may even let you pass. But you would become radar fodder, I like radar fodder :-)

[XP@]

And he asked you? Did he need a wheel chock to stop it rolling back down the ramp or something?
He probably could have done with a crane! 300+kg's of chrome with no fuel injector is a big lump even to get on to a low trailer!

[Headbanger]

Came across a seal the other day, It waved at me.

I figure, its big its fat, its hairy,lazy, fuckin smelly, communicates with grunts and threats, doesn't give a fuck, it waved, we are brothers.

Hell, it was on the road, so was I.

This is getting deep, The brotherhood of the road.

I love you brotherhood of the road seal.

[Drew]

I am not paying to oncomming bikes on the motorway, so instead of not waving back, I am literally just not seeing them. I'm sure that is a common thing.

[PrincessBandit]

wiggle your butt then
It's how I wave from time to time.


Nah, I just put it down to more of them super sized scooters being around...(
Balu waves to absolutely everyone

Hey all,

When I started riding my bike, feb this year, I found that every other biker did the recognition nod, now days when I Nod a fellow biker they ignore....

is it me? or have the rules changed?:Punk:

[Virago]

Nah, mate - there's a secret wave now. Do you not know about it?

[bosslady]

Who cares. Those who do, do. Those who don't, don't. Nothing worth worrying about. Once I waved at what I thought was a motorcyclist. By the time I'd finished, I realised it was a scooter. I still suffer from nightmares and feel so... dirty...

[bosslady]

p.s. not sure how you consider from Feb until now as "nowadays"... 2 months... and yes, it IS you. ;)

[hayd3n]

I wave to most bike riders, when I'm on my scooter. Some might get pissed off. And frankly, I dont give a shit if they do. Suprising how many do acknowledge me.

After 45 years (in june), since my 1st bike, I dont give a monkeys toss what people think of the style of bike I ride.

I'm getting a bit worried here as I'm close to buying my first Harley (03 Wideglide anniversary). I thought that this would make me "captain awesome" and I planned on waving at pretty much everybody.

Hey - GN riders are still riders - they are just very misguided ... and I'm not so sure a Nionja 250 is any better ... a different shape sure, but still a 250 ...

Lol, this thread still going strong.

I don't wave to anyone. I'm a snob.

I barely acknowledge people I know, so why would I acknowledge some face on a bike behind a helmet??? I don't know them.

I'm also far too busy relishing in the fact that I'm on my bike, my bike! All mine, in my leathers, my leathers, all mine.

Can't be arsed being friendly with some person who's but a fleeting flash in my vision...I'm 20 metres past them by the time the pass me.
