Signs between bikers?

[lolo170379]

Hi,
I'm a french biker and I just arrived in february in Auckland from France. I can't live without a bike so i'm looking for THE one when money will come, Suz 1200 ss may be (goooood engine). But I have a question for the kiwi bikers: In france (and europe as well) we use to make a sign to other bikers with the left hand, and say <thank you> to gentle cardrivers, who let us pass them, with the right foot. But here we drive on the other side, and I don't know if there some habbits like that. Please let me know and enjoy the road carefully.

Hi :wavey: welcome to the site and to New Zealand. We generally wave to other bikers or nod our heads in acknowledgement. Keep us updated on when you get your bike and we'll look forward to seeing you on a KB ride.

[Dr Bob]

Welcome to KB.

To bikes we wave with our left hand, to cars we usually select one or two fingers only and wave more in a vertical motion.

[bear]

A wave is generally fine in most cases, even to cars that allow an easy pass.

Had a signal from another biker a while back, first finger in the air swirling around, though it was a funny wave, but he was signaling that a cop was further up the road - good signal!

[Hitcher]

I am surprised Riff Raff, of all people, overlooked the fart. Both savoury and unsavoury, sometimes simultaneously. Real skill!

[Biff]

Bienvenue à ce beau pays. :spudwave:

En général les personnes ondulez à une une autre, ou inclinez la tête. Elles n'emploient pas leur pied cependant pour remercier des conducteurs de voiture. Thats une chose Européenne. :niceone:

[inlinefour]

Well I generally wave to other riders with my left hand as its easier to free up or nod if I can't use my left hand. For considerate drivers I wave or give the thumb up. Otherwise I would at least toot in apreciation of their courtisy (sp) :done:

I thought I'd let him ease into the site and get gently entangled in it's net before letting rip...

Ah, but now they come more slowly -- 200 between drinks now, apparently...

[lolo170379]

Waow, quick reply means quick reply, thank you very much. I will try to do all you told me, then if you see someone who makes many signs on his bike, it's me... I will let you know when I will get my bike and I hope you will show me your favourites kiwi roads. Thanks a lot.

Excellent, viff. A picture paints a thousand words, so you just saved yourself 7000 of the buggers (and saved us from having to read 'em)

[Riff Raff]

Waow, quick reply means quick reply,
thats because there's a lot of us on here who are either timewasters, or have no life.... why am I at work on a lovely day when I should be riding?

[Wolf]

You forgot "...or both". I refuse to be left out of the equation!

[lolo170379]

ok, great, I see that kiwi riders look like french riders, on 100 words, 2 or 3 are really serious... I will have a good time here... I hope you also exaggerate and lie on your own performance...

[Coyote]

I hope you also exaggerate and lie on your own performance...
Of course not... :shifty:

Or as this American woman was saying at a road-side stall in Tahiti:
"Avays voos unnn com sar sanz... um... sanz... ahhh... snaz... oh forget it!"

While myself and my Tahitian "brother" sat and stared blankly at her...

Wash your mouth out

Welcome to the KB site, I trust you will enjoy yourself here.

Well ya see it's like this.

Ya gots the Yamahahaha riders. They like to make themselves feel good by pretending they're faster than anyone else.

The Honda riders try to prove everyone not riding a Honda is an idiot by correcting their spelling or threatening to beat the shit outta someone.

Kawasaki riders are just plain stoopid.

Then there's the Gixxer clan. Quietly spoken, mildly quick, and fucken good looking.

Nuff said.

I trust you will enjoy your stay with us. If you give details of your intended jouorneys in advance I'm sure you will find people keen to meet up for a ride, a coffee, or a beer. or two.

Kawasaki riders are just plain stupid.

Then there's the Gixxer clan. Quietly spoken, small penis's, bad breath, mildly quick, on drugs and fucking good looking.

Enough said.

That's absolute rubbish and you know it you dumbass. Have a go at Hondas again and I'll punch your lights out.



:Pokey:

In New Zealand all the Dairy Farmers ride Harley Davidsons.If you want to make friends with them then be friendly and acknowledge them with this sign whether on the road or as a gang of them pass by as you watch from the pavement.Basically it`s a mime of someone milking a cow. :tugger:

Then you've got the "Wolf" clan that has owned Suzukis, Yamahas, Hondas, a Puch and a Zundapp, has borrowed a Kawasaki a few times and wants to own a BMW, who looks at the my-brand-is-better-than-your-brand pissing contests and thinks: :brick: "youngsters today..." :brick:

Holy shit! I've never been so popular. Just goes to show how correct my original statement was.

And Riff Raff, you're welcome to join as an apprentice. I'm sure, when you grow up, you'll want a Gixxer too.

Now in the imortal (if slightly rearanged) words of Scumdog.

There's two types of bikers, those who want a Gixxer, and those that have one.
