I seem to have noticed a trend over the last few months - either that or im just becoming more ignorant.

about 6 months ago i used to get waves all the time and i used to wave back... then slowly the waves started to die down and the head nod came in, I get a lot of head nods now but i havent seen a wave in months

Maybe its just that people dont like my cbr250 as opposed to my old bike.

Told my mate who had just bought his first bike, an aprilia rs125 not to wave to harley riders cuz they dont wave back to sport bikes, he ignored my comment and did it and got the middle finger salute. :lol

Oooohhhhh goody a new topic! Waving/nodding. Whodda thought.

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Because you are riding a motorcycle, at the same time I am, does not necessitate me being your friend. There are heaps of bikers I can't stand. Far more than those I get on with in fact. (Looking forward to your rep Steve

)

Jesus Christ, do you wave at every oncomming car driver as well?
