View Full Version : Identifying KB'ers on the road

MacMan, raised an interesting idea in his opening thread.
Apart from KB merchandise (shirts, stickers, e.t.c) how could we identify each other when going about our normal daily business.

You know ... like a SpecialWave(Tm) or something .... (now that I've typed that it sounds decidedly Ghey ... ahhh well, I've started now)

What about a crazy gangsta finger thing... like er ... WESTSIDE!!!!!!!!!

It would be just like belonging to the motorcycle version of the Freemasons.

Thoughts, opinions, rants and ravings excepted .... Fire away!!

There is one guy who I pass and know (he's not on here yet), and we do the ol' Hawaii surf-come-'phone-me' type finger thingy with the thumb and pinky.. could be catchy, or just stupid.. dunno..

how about mooning as we pass.. give the 'cage-drivers' (new phrase to me) a laff too..

oh, and yay for me :P someone noticed me!!

Ah HA!

At the first sign of trouble I would flip my secret KB button and go into stealth mode and a little electic motor would haul down my KB colors and run up the Jolly Roger (argh argh argh me hearties etc etc) or a flag of a different hue! Thus totally confusing everyone while I slip away!

With a few mods I sould run up a variety of these flags and signal messages to others in the know! Much like ships at sea before radio was reliable!

I would find D and F useful.

Too risky!!, when you've had the bike for twenty years or so and about to retire it and flying your 'paying off penant" it's likely to wrap around about 20 other nearby objects i.e. KBers, cages, flying squid et al.... :crazy:

yeah, thought had occurred to me after I posted it.. can't you use your teeth or something, for the throttle?

Well, I guess it'd just be down to the nod, or some way of visual ID on the bike..

or everyone just meets up more, then we get to know each others' bikes and then we can wink :sly: (just don't use your tinted visor) in some bizarre way..

How about we throw stuff. If you dodge it, you are a KB because you knew it was coming. If you fall off you arte not with KB. (Because you didnt know you had to dodge).

Exceptions to the rule are if we know you are Honda or Winja or Ghost rider, then we throw stuff anyway?? :lol:

maybe we could all ride naked :sunny:


or how bout we take off our helmets and bow


or we could stand up and take both hands off the handlebars


or we could lift up our visors and stick our tongues out at each other


or pretend to shove our hands up our *** as we ride past


or we could start shaking the handlebars very violently


or we could make it a point to STOP the biker and ask them


naah.... well why the feck do we really care who the hell the next person is again? Come on we need to harden up enough of all this ghey love.

Lets keep the KB rides for getting to know each other.


BEST IDEA - A SIMPLE MILITARY SALUTE *ANSWERED* BY A THUMBS UP.

Meaning that the other person knows what you mean............. strangers (non KB'ers) will simply salute you back or nod their head.....

and if you don't have the ability to distinguish a "thumbs up" from "the finger" then get your eyes checked

I don't think a KB "wave" is all that "ghey" (sp???). But, it would be rather time consuming to get it to become known. I sometimes pull a small wheelie when passing an oncoming bike (note, small one, only if coast is clear). But that may be perceived as wanky :laugh:

Hell, you can't miss me, red bike with mean looking head lights.
And you definitely aren't going to miss my cage. (Hmm, I've only had 3 occasions of people recognising me, thought there'd be more. I may have to stick a BIG as sticker on the hood. Maybe a pop up plate, like on the back of audi TT's and porshe's)

Tapping left knee to say hi..... ummmmm everyone is on my right going past me... going in the opposite direction..... so not much chance of them seeing the tapping.....lol :scooter:

Sometimes a bike just whizzes past me going the other way so damn fast... there is only time for a quick nod.... :scooter:

And there is no way that I'm exposing parts of my anatomony (sp) to anyone out there on the roads.... :crazy:

So I'll stick to a wave or a nod.... unless you can come up with something else thats sensible... :headbang:

Yes, true. If we wore tea cosies on our heads, we'd also have to wear trousers three sizes too big, and our motorcycles would need 'blinging'.

Also, I, for one, would be unhappy with the number of hos who would presumably want to clamber on the back. It upsets the handling.

Actually....

The way this site is growing I think it is safe to assume nearly everyone we pass that is on a bike is a member!

Silicon Valley for me. You know that the Mexican population (censussed...(sp) - counted by census, anyway) is the majority in California?

anyway i still think the bandanna or some sort of patch would be a good idea and it would help new members like me to know who im passing. i wave to all bikers no matter what the ride cause thats just common curtasy

:Offtopic:
Not that long though really - in 2000 they were the largest minority (32.4% according to the US Census Bureau)
In 2002 they were at 33.2% with whites at 46.8%

Last year (2004), apparently was the projected achievement of majority, and according to a couple of reports from the Sacramento Bee (which I unfortunately cannot currently find) this was achieved in/around august.

*shrug* probably not interesting to anyone other than us though, and certainly not a General Biker Raving... although there should be stats on bike buying among Chicano populations

To get back on topic, wearing things is like a uniform. I like the "nod" thing. riding along, see a biker, nod to the left - then it looks like an odd nod to any other biker....

Does it really matter knowing if your a KBer or not? Anyway, we will end up with threads saying 'Who was the guy with the KB sticker/gave me the Secret wave/did a Kahuna Dumpster out on Miro street/SH2/outside liks at 8:00pm?'

Or think you're stupid:finger:

A salute is globally accepted as a sign of respect only a fool like you would think of it as an expression of stupidity.

Fairings are for homosexuals.

Goes along the same lines of tapping you chest with your left hand as I mentioned earlier, whatever, tap your chest/helmet, same principal!

Yep, even belt-drive is a passing fad and fairings are for the weak wristed. :whistle:

Why not a blue led mounted forward facing like the boy racers have on their cars down here or up here depending on where ever one is domiciled.

wow, after 2 cups of coffee and 1 hour later I have finally finished reading all the posts in this thread.

I reckon if we want to acknowledge each other on the road we should do any one of the following, that way we know where we are coming from:

- Salute with the left arm, right arm or third arm (if that is the case), acknowledged by a thumbs up.
- Tap your chest acknowledged by a nod or recipricol chest tapping.
- Devils horns hand sign (my preferred option) :headbang: acknowledged with another Devils horn
- Releasing the handlebars and tapping your head while rubbing your belly

In terms of other identifying attributes, what about making some very small stickers for the back bottom part of the helmet with the KB logo? Something really small so it isn't intrusive but big enough to recognise it as we pass each other.

Forgive me, I'm in a sensible mood today..........um.....
