[Dave-]

Dont have the cop bikers round here...yet so never had thought about them ,some cruisers wave to me when i was on my hornet but they more so dont wave now that im on a sportyer bike also if your on a 250cc your out of luck as when i was on my learners i didnt have many wave at all ,but now they wave all the time

I wave at both...caged and non caged cops.

im the same,scooter riders ,ride for the sake of petrol costs whereas most bikers ride because they love it no matter the costs ,the bigger the bike the more responses you get in my experience .

Do we really? I thought I rode for the freedom and the thrill of it... Thanks for the heads up. If you hadn't let me in on that one I would have thought I had become some tree-hugging hippie.

[*caution*]

I've waved at heaps on gn250 riders who havn't waved back at me....??? hmm maybe cos they are to scared to take one hand off it? Jesus just get your hand off it man!! errrr....

[breakaway]

If I'm in a mood, and the wavee doesn't wave back, then they get a "Well fukya then!".

That's a bit harsh. I always give a friendly nod, but there have been times when I've simply not seen the bike.

There is a ton of snobbery out there.

But to be honest - I was riding a GN250 like you and always gave a nod. about 30% of the time I would get one back.

Now I'm on a bigger bike I get about 90-95% back (or they initiate it).

Yep, my experience too! Not sure about the snobbery (wouldn't like to accuse anyone) but I was frequently not acknowledged if I waved or nodded while on the GN. However, I got enough waves to still make me feel good and now I'm on bigger bike everyone pretty much reciprocates. Never take it personally; there have also been times when I've not been able to respond to a wave, or have missed it because I happened to be checking my mirrors or whatever at the time so didn't see nod or wave.
