Win some, loose some. Some are just sour. No big deal. It's the world that we live in.

bugger. i quite often just get blank stares in response...never seen a cop on a bike, so dunno what the reponse would be [ok, not true...i have seen them, just never on the road, lol]

Next time give him the finger.....might get a response...

Some cops wave and some dont when they are riding their work bikes..

No biggie if they dont. They could be listening to their ear piece of something that is happening...

Tis great when they do.

Nought to stress about thou.

Yea if you feel you really must acknowledge them, then, there is only one choice......

When one is standing on one's back pegs while approaching

then they might get a wave.......

I wave to bike cops. Get a nod back often as not. About the same ratio as any other sort of bike or rider. Except Ducatis. They never acknowledge. Stuck up bunch.

FUCK em.....turn round and hunt them down on a twisty road

nothing better than passing a snot nosed duc rider on the latest incarnation of SS than on an 8 year old jap V-twin...

i agree with crashe its nothing to worry bout so what you didnt get a wave from him who cares. i get afew waves and nods from fellow bikers, but the rest dont and i dont care, the guy that rides the tl1000 at work tells me they dont wave out cause im on a piddly lil 250 lol oh well the bloody

Yip, bang on. If someone waves to me I will usually wave back but if there is a job going on and you are concentrating on the information coming through the radio into your helmet, then I'm not going to worry about waving to anyone. It has happened to me and the poor old biker probably gets their feelings hurt but you have to sort your priorities out and waving at a time like that just isn't one of them.
