I showed them the remarkable dexterity they afforded me

They were so excited, they followed me home

As my cantankerous old grandfather was want to say "give them a knife each, put em on an island and let them sort it out"

bling awarded.

i wave to anything if i see them in time...sometimes i dont get a chance if im in a corner or similar, and feel bad i didnt get a chance to respond if they waved.

btw....only time i flash my light it is to let other bikes know theres a cop. doesnt matter where the cop is, if i see him i let oncoming bikes know. ooo yeh, and also if theres a mass of badly marked roadworks/other traffic snarl-up.

hehe .. good point about the generalisations.

And also I only flash light to advise of cops.

I must admit, waving to another biker from my scooter sometime makes me fel a bit errr well ummm

And I know that when I wear my black helmet and harley labelled leather jacket and then hop onna scooter that err.. its not a good look shall we say.

It is not compulsory to wave, or read wave threads either, so this is my last one. See ya! :spudwave: John.

**andrea** · 29th August 2006, 21:24

i dont really wave, just that head nod, when bikeys go by and they give me the head nod i give em the head nod back. its not really a big thing if you get a wave or not, but it does make you feel good though.
hmm i just cant wait to get my big bike.

Isn't it funny how this thread and others like it stay in GBR when they really have nothing to do with bikes themselfs? yet a thread about a trike (weather it's a bike or not) is about someones parrents looking at options to get into riding gets moved to rant and rave.

Fuck Waylander, I thought that issue was over.

And this is a General Biker Raving issue. Well not for me, I couldn't give a fuck. But it does having something to do with bikes.

So was that. and this isn't general biker raving anymore anyway. It's bike now.

Whatever, as you were.

Lol I bet you get some silly looks when you wave to other bikers.

**onearmedbandit** · 29th August 2006, 21:58

I do often wonder what they think when I take my throttle hand off to wave! If I'm passing someone I'll wave with my left foot!

**Auntie Podes** · 29th August 2006, 21:58

I always wave/nod as long as it is safe to do so. I even do it to people on Hardly Movingsons and Goldwings after all, they are bikers

each to their own......
