are you a nodder or a waver

[madmal64]

I wave where Im able to do so safely. Otherwise its a nod. I try to acknowledge evey other biker I come across on the road.
I have noticed lately that there is less people returning the nod or wave, I dont get pissed off if they dont wave or nod I just like the "gidday" factor when its a nod or wave both ways.

[Back Fire]

I normally nod but I wave sometimes for a change

[LXS]

Yep, I just do the big clumsy nod.

Might give waving a go, tomorrow.

[Zed]

I'm changeable. I nod, wave, salute, whatever grabs their attention. Sometimes I don't acknowledge them at all and feel really stink when at the last millisecond they wave or nod at me but it's too late for me to respond.

Personally I hate the unpredictability of it all. I would much rather *everyone* nod or wave at eachother or us all just ignore eachother...hmmm, then again, I may feel differently about it tomorrow!

I stand up on the pegs and grab my crotch with one hand whilst giving the one finger point to the sky with t'other.

Kinda like John Travolta on a gixxer..............

Yeah me too...except...I use my free hand to un-zip my jacket and show my right nipple......and wink

[The_Dover]

Nice.....I like it. I shall try that next time, just give the old nipple ring a bit of a tweak......

Very nice......

I wave unless In halfway through a corner, then I nod.

I'll drink to that

[M1CRO:Me]

If I am going hard out around a corner, you wont get squat from me.. but if I am cruisin (which happens - from time to time), I will wave with whatever hand is free :spudwave:

What he said.

I always like to wave, especially in situations where there's not many bikes around. But if cornering hard, or there's other difficulties, I at least try to nod.

I'm not one of the "wave when waved to" types - I like to wave to everyone.

I find that bikers are split into four roughly equal groups:
Those that wave first;
Those that wave back;
Those that ignore you;
Those that stare hard at you, as if to say "Why are you waving at me - do I know you?"

What he said. I wave to everyone , even Ducatisti, though they never reciprocate .Snobbish lot, them. Or at least nod , or finger wave , unless I don't see you until too late, or am too busy negoitiating a survival protocol between idiot A, homocidal maniac B , and doddery old idiot C

[John]

I nod now because nobody ever seems to wave back anymore pisses me off abit, oh well.

[Wolf]

I wave unless I'm actively using the clutch or in a situation where precise control is required.

Also wave at the police, ambos, fire service.

I often feel the need to give a special, one fingered, "wave" to trucks - especially if they have just pulled out in front of me.

(I am well aware that those on this forum who drive trucks, vans and 4x4's are very biker-savvy and keep an eye out for bikes - just as I do when I have to drive a cage - but believe me when I say that you're the exceptions, not the rule.)

[outlawtorn]

I climb up onto the seat of my bike and give a "cheerleader" style hoolla to other bikers and a brown eye to other irritating cage drivers (normally in a merc, beemer or volvo!)

[vifferman]

I have three waves, the choice of which to use depends on my mood.

Is there a switch for that on the ST's dashboard? :spudwhat:
What about the mood thing - is there a moodometer between the tachometer and speedometer?

[Ms Piggy]

I used to be a mad waver but now I'm more of a nodder. It's just a bit more practical but I always get the warm fuzzies when it's reciprocated
