Identifying KB'ers on the road

**scumdog** · 19th January 2005, 15:32

Howz about we make a fist with left hand and tap chest as we approach other bike? Non-confrontational and could only be mistaken for somebody trying to make themselves burp!!

Hey, I've had a serious idea for once!!

the rate your all going we will be so busy doing everything but watching where we are going there won't be anyone left to say hi to,why not just get patches on our jackets and have more social events, get drunk and throw up on each other

Ah HA!

At the first sign of trouble I would flip my secret KB button and go into stealth mode and a little electic motor would haul down my KB colors and run up the Jolly Roger (argh argh argh me hearties etc etc) or a flag of a different hue! Thus totally confusing everyone while I slip away!

With a few mods I sould run up a variety of these flags and signal messages to others in the know! Much like ships at sea before radio was reliable!

I would find D and F useful.

Too risky!!, when you've had the bike for twenty years or so and about to retire it and flying your 'paying off penant" it's likely to wrap around about 20 other nearby objects i.e. KBers, cages, flying squid et al....

what about you just tap you knee as you pass? leaves time to nod if they aren't one of 'us' (if I can say that yet), and doesn't look over the top or anytin..
Wasn't lookin forward to moonin anyway, my butt would get cold

pretty hard to see my left knee coz I aint letting go of the throttle...
I got an idea.... how about we wave or nod????

**scumdog** · 19th January 2005, 15:48

STILL reckon the chest tapping as per my earlier post is best idea yet...
Any improvements on that ? No? meh, thought not.

Watch for H-D rider trying to punch himself off the road as you go the other way, could just be me.

Can I make a more sensible suggestion?

Just look for the accident. Heaven knows we collectively have enough of them.

yeah, thought had occurred to me after I posted it.. can't you use your teeth or something, for the throttle?

Well, I guess it'd just be down to the nod, or some way of visual ID on the bike..

or everyone just meets up more, then we get to know each others' bikes and then we can wink :sly: (just don't use your tinted visor) in some bizarre way..

Idiot - check
One wheel - not sure - more like one hand.
GSXR - still with the no taste.

Matching Violators? enquires Larri.

well the bit about the bike recognition is good... and considering I have a KB sticker on the screen- too easy!

**Sniper** · 19th January 2005, 16:19

How about we throw stuff. If you dodge it, you are a KB because you knew it was coming. If you fall off you arte not with KB. (Because you didnt know you had to dodge).

Exceptions to the rule are if we know you are Honda or Winja or Ghost rider, then we throw stuff anyway??

Wondered when the hell you'd throw $0.02 around. Missed you at the track day on saturday on the mighty Troph-ey.

Tell LarrY He'd best wait and see if we move in together or not.
