    I think one should stand to attention on the seat and give a full blown regimental salute to big bikes and a polite curtsey or bow to the smaller japanese scooterino's

    I always wave, but if it doesn't happen to be an ideal time to one-hand jobby then I'll give a nod.

    I also think that when someone doesn't acknowledge me back but it's not difficult for them to do so they are a faggot.

    You hear that poofs? If you don't give a "hello" back then you a instantly deemed to be a faggot


    .....faggots.

    I usually wave, even to Harleys. Had one give my son and I a huge head nod the other day! 'Onya, mate!

    However, if I am busy then sorry fellas, waving comes last...if at all!
    A dream without a plan is just a wish!

    Make it happen....

    Essential and necessary.

    Either a wave or a nod - depends on the circumstances.
    Why would anyone choose to drive a car!

    Im going to hamilton and back on wednesday and im going to wave to every biker i see,, wonder how many that will be?
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    Well based on the pole, it would seem that being a biker DOESN'T make you cool... Huh.. Guess we got it all wrong? (either that or we are waaaay to cool to ACTUALLY even bother having to vote so...)
    It is only when we have lost everything that we are free to do anything.

    Wave or Nod

    Went against the traffic around the coro loop a couple of weeks ago. ie anticlockwise, must have passed 400 bikes, all sorts harleys, aprilias, moto guzzis, all the jap stuff, I would say 75% would have waved, I guess most of them were Jaffa's I say thats a bloody good percentage.
    Those that dont wave who gives a rats arse. Some people are friendly guys & girls, others are just mean sonna of a bitches that have a huge chip on their shoulders to start with, thats life get over it, thats their problem, don't let it become yours.
    When I go for a daily walk I say hi to everyone I pass, 95% say hi back.
    I recently went for awalk with my Pommie uncle who was out here on a holiday. He was astounded that everyone greeted each other on a walk, through the park, I said thats what you do in NZ, he replied we dont often do that in England. I said that's the friendly nature of NZers, he agreed.
    Lets not end up like the Poms, it starts and continues by waving to your biking comrades.
