    Cheers

    I wasn't aware about the "bad rep" of KB. Would you care to elaborate on the topic? I would be interested to know. By the way, very good points made here guys. I can understand the thinking behind not waving better now. I now understand that it’s not just something as simple as "his bike is not good enough to wave to".

    However I choose to be friendly and wave at everyone. Bro or not, its just saying hello to someone. I am used to it. Even when I go for a run in the park, I say Hello, hi, how’s it going to anyone who I come across.

     I had several Harley Riders initiate a wave at this Jappa rider this morning on my way to Hamilton - maybe they've nicked your spirit of Xmas, Jackrat!

    I'm still convinced that bikes are a great social leveller because of a common interest and certainly don't have any problem waving to any kind of machine.

    Entirely your call whether wave or not.  We're not looking to be your mate, simply being courteous.

    But in this thread: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ighlight=xs650 You called us, Bro!

    Do I take it that you can call us Bro, but we can't call you Bro,,, Bro? :confused2

    farkin 'ell Jackrat, I dunno what kind of 'bad rep' this site could have. Have you ever tried hanging out in the motorcycle forums on USENET? rec.motorcycles is full of insane, borderline-illiterate Americans who ride Harleys and carry handguns and are mostly still figuring out how to change gear. uk.rec.motorcycles is full of even more insane Poms who all fancy themselves as the next Rossi and who'll flame your arse to a crisp as soon as you poke your nose in the door.

    KB is actually a sickeningly friendly and helpful place compared to many other net biking forums (in spite of my efforts to liven it up with the occasional carefully-crafted insult). It's also the only way I'm aware of online to hook up with other biking types in NZ. If you're so twitchy about strangers waving to you, why are you online trading comments with a bunch of guys you've never met eh?

    brothers etc

    I wave to anyone I feel like and stop for anyone broken down at the roadside - regardless of what breed/type of bike they have.
    Does the breed of bike give the attitude or does the dude (or dudette) have whatever attitude they have before they got that breed of bike???

    IMHO The best thing about motorcycling as a hobby is if you run into another biker they have something to talk to you about automatically, even if it does start 'your bike is shite buy a cbsxrr Yamaharhonzuki'.

    The worst thing about it has to be your having the worst day of your life and some inconsiderate feotus see's your helmet and starts rattling on about the time 4 years ago they spent ten minutes as a pillion and procceed to take 20 mins to tell you about it, and get all haughty if you don't listen to the whole story.

    Or as bad your having a great day and some clon starts telling you how dangerous bikes are and how we should all drive 4wd's.

    Biking can be a solitary or as social as you like.

    The only broken down bike I did not stop (or go back) for already had the AA present.

    I have in the past and no doubt will again get real pissed off by some squid trying to talk to me without an invite,I don,t get that same shit from other Nissan drivers just because I own a Nissan.
    So what the fuck is it with motorcycists,If I want ya, to call me Bro I,ll let ya, know.Of all the hundreds Of guys I have known and riden with over the years there are probably 4-5 who still ride today.So to anybody that get his tits in a tangle because I didn,t wave back,Get used to it,I don,t like to invest in a lost cause,an ya,not my bloody Bro, OK.
    I can only speak for myself. I like the fact that I have met some really nice people through bike riding I choose to wave to all and sundry as I like to be friendly. I will stop and help anyone (car or bike) if they can benifit from my help. I have said it before on this site and Im saying it again.

    You get back from others what you give out.
    Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

    If you do not want to be friendly with others Jackrat then thats fine. Thats your choice, but perhaps someone you do not know yet is missing out on knowing you. Perhaps that is a loss for two people??
    And like someone else said earlier on this post. If you (allege) to be so uninterested in being friendly, why are you spending time on what is essentially a chat room?

    To wave or not to wave?
    That is the question, but your choice
    I'm one of the worlds best riders. I can wheelie, I can stoppie, I can stunt, hell I can get my shoulder down. I could keep up with Rossie if I wanted to race.

    Then I go from bed to bike and somehow it all turns to crap.

    Yesterday I met a Road Rage coming the other way,in my stupidity I waved to him,but he didn't wave back - bloody typical eh.....A little later I stopped at a piss hole where he was also stopped - We had a good discussion as strangers,I admired his bike,he had good things to say about mine - the two bikes couldn't be further apart.Shit it's good ridin' bikes,we're all good people.

    A bunch of sports bikes coming the other way didn't take much notice of me either - but the cows saw them.
