A Scooter Rider WAVED At Me..What'll I do?

**slofox** · 31st May 2009, 10:01

Coming into a roundabout this morning and there was this dude on a scrotter, already in the circle...as I waited for him to come past, he WAVED at me...!

Does this mean I have to jump off a bridge?

Was it the the secret KB wave?

Does he know why Harley riders don't wave?

Was he ATGATT?

Did he take off his helmet when buying petrol?

Don't leave us wanting more...

Well what's the problem then? A lot of bike riders have a scooter in their stable including myself. He was obviously just being friendly but if you still want to jump of a bridge then that's your call.

You sure they weren't just loosing control, screaming out, and trying to hold on? :-)

I didn't say I WANTED to jump off a bridge - I asked did I HAVE to jump off a bridge...

When I get my bike serviced the bike shop lends me a "wee" (50cc) scooter to commute back and forth to my motel etc.

Sure beats first class walking.

I have now experienced the "real" danger and the very "high risk" that scooter riders face every inch of their journey in the city!

My attitude has changed toward scooter riders immensely!

I always acknowledge them now whether "they" notice me or not!

I hope none of my children or grandchildren ever buy a small scooter as a means of transport in the city!

Scooters are alright for....taking your puppy for a ride in the front basket/popping down to the shops at smoko time/delivering the mail/getting to the salon (and or) mall on time and should any scooter owner/rider wave at a real motorbike then, they obviously are very envious and in waiting for that moment where they too, can ride with pride.

That chap makes up for the scooterista I observed yesterday. Zipping along in the left wheel track (most uncommon - not) with the chinstrap of the helmet completely undone and flapping behind the neck.

Ahh well. Each to their own.

If you think for a minute that you're so special that you'd even consider not returning someones' friendly gesture then we'd all be better off with you at the bottom of a bridge.

I got to admit Maha, that I do feel "inwardly apologetic" when riding the wee scooter in traffic.

Just goes to show how subconciously predjuced I am!

I feel so ashamed.

Please say you waved back. There are enough forces against us two wheelers let alone two wheelers joining in. He's a brother. Okay, all families have 'em. The brother that doesn't dress the way you do but he's still on two wheels.

Look after family. You never know when you'll need them.

I always wave to scooters and HD's.
