The cruiser riders hate the sport bike guys, think they're better,
The sport bikers don't care about the Ducati guys,
The Ducati guys think a man who rides a Japper isn't much at all,
The Japanese machine riders are on the right track, of course,
The riders of Chinese motorcycles think they are the new wave,
The V-twin guys don't rate the in-line 4 guys, they suck!
The retro Triumph riders think it hasn't been done before,
The Harley guys....Keep left please!
And any combination that I haven't mentioned....

Where do you expect Scooters to ride (assuming that they are doing the speed limit of 50km)?

Saw a guy on an old Indian with sidecar at the pink ribbon ride - his dog was the proud occupant! But surely your dog loves you just as you are anyway

not only do i think that riders on certain makes don't wave, i think riders in different parts of the island don't wave.... around the naki everyone waves and chats etc.... but have noticed that the closer you get to the bombays and past them, no one waves!

Be nice!

Hey Nico I saw that guy on the orange scooter that lives next to me (The house with the hill driveway just past me) try to corner fast into his driveway about an hour ago, complete with shorts, t-shirt and jandals. His back wheel slid out a bit and he put is foot on the deck, thus ripping the jandal clean off his foot as is footwear gripped the road and his foot kept going snapping the strap part. Wish I had a picture, the look on his face was priceless...

As we all started on little bikes and face same hazzards as big bike riders

I will wave and talk to any rider no matter what they ride as even parked up and gave waves to 250cc riders and the grins they had made there day to see all big riders are not snobs

so how many small bikes and learners have you given the time of day and thumbs up.

Having just upgraded from a little GN250 after 2 years , I have also noticed some bikers who are up them selves and judge others by what they ride.Having said that I have met more who return the wave ( I always try to wave) and more who have been helpful on KB than those who have not. I always try to be friendly and helpful. If one is to expend energy,why not use it to do good instead of bad.
Plus 1 on you for waving to others

i have definitely noticed a change in numbers that wave and chat to me since i upgraded from the two fiddy to the gixer, and i notice more wave at me if im wearing blacked out gear with the blonde hair tucked into the jacket.... I always wave, i don't care what your riding or what your wearing let along what gender you are!

Just because somebody rides a bike doesnt mean they like you, there is somewhat a brotherhood to biking, but car drivers dont all say hi to each other etc...

Some riders see this the same way. Prefer to just ride thier bike than be part of a community as such.

Each to thier own etc.
