    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Seemed a bit uncalled for. And you should be scared, next time you misbehave I'll sit on you.

    I call bullshit! You would see my Millie coming a mile off and pull over to wave, nay, bow to her brilliance and beauty, then you would notice who was riding

    A fucking Harley rider waved at me the other day ... I saw the Harley Diddleson coming and thought "naa .. he won't wave ..." and fuck me he did ...he came alongside and waved ... so unexpected and way too late for me to wave back ...

    I hate it when the fuckers do that to you ...

    How dare he. That's so inconsiderate of him.

    I had one wave at me with both hands the other day. Actually I think his long grey beard was waving at me too.

    Harley riders waving with both hands ... is usually an indication they're falling off ...

    Only fucking 8 years into the thread...

    ...mind you I'm new to this hemisphere.

    I'm facing this apparently monumental and hugely divisive issue as the new guy in the room. I'm from Scotland, where we tend to follow the Euro manner of biker to biker comms - namely (although in no order and I write in reference to, and from the standpoint of, someone who doesn't own cowboy boots or fingerless gloves nor a German helmet fnarr-fnarr, regards fringey leather as the gayest kind and observes a strict 'don't look at em, don't fucking look at em' policy re scooters, just in case they make you gay too), AHEM, here we go: a tilt of the lid, a nod, two fingers off the bars on the side closest to passing opposite traffic, maybe a waggle of the boot if overtaking another bike at speed and simultaneously being occupied, natch', with speed/time/distance/slide/scrape calculations and throttle control, a hearty wave if the weather's shite just cos we're bikers and we don't fucking care, a barely perceptible chin-lift to Hardly Movinsons and their softy Jap-clone girly copies and perhaps a narrowing of the eyes, a la Clint Eastwood, in the direction of bike-mounted bacon.

    Thing is, no-matter what complexion, orientation, scale or sexuality, all bikers in Euroland pretty much pass some sort of comms with any bike which passes, out on the open road. And I mean everyone. The Bloody English, ze Germans, Eyties, Les Frenchies the lot. There really is an unspoken bond of banditry amongst us whatever-percenters, the organ-donors, the accidents-waiting-to-happen.You're even likely to get the occasional twitch from red-eyed commuter types around the M25, they're mostly fucking mental anyway, I've seen Fireblades with the fairings removed, and dirty ratty R1s commuting into London at three times the speed limit, daily.

    I kinda wonder why it doesn't happen here. I'm in AKL, no surprises, and it takes most of my concentration to stop from being crushed to jam in an asian confusion on the motorway every day - and most car commuters here are to all intents and purposes, swivel-eyed barking psychopathic narcissists anyway, so we're busy, fine. But what about the rest of the time?

    Stick meet wasps nest.

    Yours etc

    I may look calm, but in my head, I've killed you three times already.

    This is not just one thread.

    It is the combination of many started threads on the subject of (or similar) waving ... kindly moved to this thread by the kind and fore thinking site moderators.

    Oh ... welcome to this hemisphere ... and to the site.
