Friendly rider made my day

If you are the rider who pulled up next to me at the lights at Russell Rd/Weymouth Rd in Manurewa on Sunday afternoon about 4pm and waved I would like to say you made my day. I had just returned from a ride to Hamilton and the pain in my right arm was excruciating (from my accident back in March).

I apologise if you are someone I've met before but didn't recognise your bike - my only thoughts other than keeping safe on the road was to get home to some painkillers!

It really gave me a lift and put a smile on my face (which had been pretty much set in a grimace all the way from Huntly) for the last bit of my ride before heading down my home street.

Thank you!!

p.s. your rego is **ZUC

Hi PrincessBandit I would like to say it was me but it's to far from home to be me. lol I wave to EVERY bike I see(lol) and i get lots of waves, nods but there are a few who don;t bother and I agree it makes you feel good and friendly. Vern

Meh. So, what's new? Nothing unusual about bikers getting friendly toward pretty chicks. Double so for pretty biker chicks.

I made your day the other day!

It was not the usual "cool lift hand off the left grip bike salute", but a whole hand wave as well as waving me through the turn first and a toot when I peeled off to turn into my road.

I quite often get the one fingered wave....

With a helmet on it is very difficult to tell the difference between a grimace and a smile.

Nice to hear you are getting out and about more.

Well it wasn't me but I always like to give a friendly wave or nod when I see other bikers when I'm out and about. Also always to kids,them being all potential future bikers and all.
