I'll bring the matches if you supply the petrol!

My 1982 R80G/S will clutchless wheelie with appropriate abuse of the throttle with someone on the back. No hope of doing it any other way though.

Since I been riding my bike here in New Zealand...I have seen many bikes give the nod or wave.

so now I have pick up the habit and do the same to almost all the bike I see if I can..even if they don't do back.
I try my best to be friendly to all, and if the don't nod/wave back..well it is up to them.

Bullshit, my missus and I wave all the time, and it seems to be that the least responsive are sports bike riders. I have yet to meet an arrogant BMW rider (odd, yes) but I guess anything's possible.

Cool, We will have somewhere to go to watch our house burn

It's insured.

Oh, and you don't mind if we bring the kids (all 5 of them including the lodger) and the dog and the cats.

Then could I please borrow your bike so i can ride back in to the inferno to save my beemer (I promise to wave to everyone on my way out)?

I spent a fantastic Easter weekend in the very sunny Hawkes Bay riding everywhere I went. Heaps of bikers out and about.

Of all the bikers I waved to, there must have been 50+, I only got 2 back! This includes sports bikes and cruisers alike. Bikers are more friendly in Auckland than HB, who would have thought that!

Im HB born and bred myself and im appalled at the lack friendliness exhibited to fellow bikers over the weekend. As soon as I got back over the ranges, all the waves started again. So come on you guys, it aint that hard to nod or wave!

Yes its another bloody waving thread, bash away
