    Ignoring people at traffic lights

    What's biker protocol for ignoring people at traffic lights?

    I used to be happy when people say "cool bike bro'
    "What type of bike is that!?"

    I used to say something now I just find it annoying


    Am I making the rest of bikers look bad or stuck up by ignoring people trapped in cars ?

    Yours sincerely.. best looking snobby bike owner.

    I had a nice driver get my attention and pointed to the green river of precious radiator fluid running away from my bike at one traffic light.
    They're not all bad, and I enjoy showing not all motorcyclists are bad...

    Make the most of it. A nod would probably do, and shouldn't be too much trouble.

    On a slightly different note I will acknowledge any driver who does something helpful. It may encourage them to be helpful again.

    The KB wave is reserved for more joyous occasions. Waving both arms and a foot while standing on the pegs is a bit over the top.

    I always give a wave,we always did in the olden days !

    Hardly davids don't often reply in kind tho. (a different breed that lot, mostly)

    So yeah, 56 years of waving !

    Yeah, when I started everybody waved to everybody. Simple. Now there's all sorts of divisions: Harley riders don't wave to anybody, Ducati riders only wave to BMW riders, BMW riders only wave to God.

    Personally, I don't care what anyone says. If I am in the mood and desire, I answer. And if I don't want to, I don't answer, and I feel normal.
