Wavers you say. Not Harley riders then![]()

Alien's have replaced your Dad. Hence the sudden change in attitude.
Funny you should say that, I travel SH1 north of amberly every day.
I pull over and let every bike have room the aproaches me from behind as I only pootle at 100kph in my truck.
I get wave from about 70% of sport bikers, 80% tourers and 90% harleys!
But the worst for acknowlaging my actions are the BMW riders!!!!
Even cages that pass me toot or wave more often than them
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.
You must have a few coussies up in North Island,every trucky I come up behind usually always tries to pull over where possible,and I appreciate it in the car or on the bike,they get the usual 2 toots or thumbs up if riding.On the bike it isn't much of a problem,and to an extent in the car(4ltr grunt)but with the old 4 cylinder car it didn't have same power so always liked the indicator signal or pull over the truckies do.
Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
PLease pass on our best wishes and continued thanks for his courteous and considerate behaviour.My dad was collected by a rider a few years back, no injuries to him but the rider lost a leg, To my knowledge they've spoken a few times and the situation has long since been resolved.Dad hopped on the back with me once.
Took him from his site to home (about 5 K's) he's never wanted to ride a bike since, but can still apprecaite the need for me to do so. I love me Dad.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
My Dad was looser on bikes than I will ever be. Dutch immigrant in the early 1950s with a string of Matchlesses, BSAs and the like. Into the 'scrambles' scene in Wellington area and plenty of tales of police chase escapes "I took to the Kandalla Hills because I knew the cop's Norton didn't have a show of catching the Matchy". He's gone 24 years ago but stories are still filtering out via an elderly Dutch uncle about Dad's narrow misses during sometimes drunken motorcycle offs in Holland.
Guess better judgement and a conservative Kiwi Mum kept the stories under wraps during my impressionable years, with good reason - the vehicle count may well have been higher.
have to say in the short time ive been on a 250 have had more cages try to make life difficult by moving onto centreline & flooring it if there is any chance you could pass than have been nice to me. must be cause they dont like little cruisers.![]()
actually is it possible to get a "biker freindly" sticker?
The "old fulla" reminded me in no uncertain terms who it was that is out in their bush with the tractor making the tracks that me and the kids get to ride every christmas.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
noticed a huge increase in 'move over and smile/waves' on the Taka's since it got double yellowed end to end
However the downside of that is the utter pricks who arrogantly carry on hugging the center at 35kmh all the way are just that much MORE frustrating....sigh
Wave to the friendlys, scowl at the inside of my visor at the rest
Ya Dad rocks Frosty
Just ride.
