Not saying thanks

What the fuck is everyone wanking on about motorcyclists waving (or not waving) to other motorcyclists for?

I thought this thread was about attempting to engender some degree of good will between motorcyclists and car drivers.

Oh, sorry. I'll get my coat on the way out.


MERRY CHRISTMAS KATMAN!!!!!!!

I'm waving good bye to this thread

... which is all well and good, but safety comes first. I'd rather put my attention and efforts into staying safe than waving to someone who is part of the semi-mobile chicane. If I can wave and manouevre safely AND I feel like waving, then I might just do so.
Or not.

Well, that's a start.

Every little bit helps.

Yeah well but y'see I've been in D'Auckland for 9 years now, and I think I'm becoming dorklundised, and stuff like waving, courtesy, obeying road rules etc. have largely gone by the board. I really noticed this in Yurp, when I was out of the rat race and driving was so different. I think I need to re-educate myself, driving wise.

Drag as many as you can along to those classes.

I think it's good if you're self aware, don't sink into complacency or bad habits, and realise there's always stuff to learn, including that what you believe or do may be wrong.
I guess some people have the attitude that their opinion/actions are right, so there's little room for improvement.

Common courtesy to acknowledge a gesture,i.e I try to toot as I pass a truckie which has pulled over,so that I can pass inside the yellow lines,what pisses me off is the little lady in a daihatsu supermarket trolley who won't pass until the yellow lane dissapears,and then uses the whole of the lane as well,lots of drivers CAN NOT judge the left side of their cars.So are to bloody scared to pass close to the vehicle which has pulled over.
