Waving - the neverending saga (multiple threads merged into one)

[Squeak the Rat]

The Harley riders were just waving because their bikes had broken down and needed a mechanic.

Well,it appears some people toss their toys out of the cot if someone doesn't - like,do they want this Labour Government to make it a law to wave to other riders?

Shit don't say that. People could damn well take it seriously.

But anyway...I've noticed it's only the sportsbike riders who get upset about not getting waved at,and they heap scorn upon the Harley guys for not waving.I thought it was really funny that no sportsbikes waved at me,but the Harley did.

I noticed that too. But dont you remeber the days your penis was small,you had a bike to compensate and then you got all upset when no one acknowledged your manhood by waving or ogleing your bike? Im thinking thats the standard for sportsbike riders under 25 at the moment and not only that, but they need to try and tell the world to prove themselves again.

Glad that after time we grow into our dicks.

And for the record for those that missed the point - I don't give a flying fuck if you wave to me or not,and I may wave or not depending on my mood - give it a rest,it's not the end of the world y'know.

You do drive a pajero though, so I presume we could excuse you.

I've decided to start waving at motorcycles on SH16 from my pushie. Like, as in, waving really hard so's I wobble around, while grinning like a moron.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it'll be before I get a response?

I've waved to pushies. And people in vintage cars. And bikes of course. And anyone who looks like they're out there enjoying themselves.

Wave to any bike. Including scooters. Just too much hard work figuring it out otherwise.

It's not a big deal. Just friendliness. Sort of saying "Hi, nice day , good t'see y'" (Or, "Hi, good to see someone else isn't put off by this shit weather, ain't we the bee's knees")

EDIT: And farmers. And road workers. And kids. And horse riders. And of course , any hot chick with big boobs.

You always got to wave to kids so that they have a nice positive experience with bikers and later when they grow up they say "I want a motorbike because I want to be a nice person like all those bikers that used to wave to me - unlike those stuck-up fucking cagers who never waved..."

wen im in stealth mode(i.e race mode)i wave at no one?..........''must concentrate''.........

[Mattzxr750]

i wave at anything on 1 2 or 3 wheels and anything in a skirt

[GIXser]

If im riding back roads i generally dont have time to wave, might give a nod but would only wave if cruising... my safety and focus on the task at hand (no pun intended) is more important to me than making someone else, regardless of their type of bike, feel good about themselves because i waved at them.

i agree,, to many fuckers waving at ya, pisses me of,nothing against bikers,,, just enjoying my own time thats all...

I have a probem with waving. If I see one, two, or even three riders approaching I can handle it, no problem. But,,,,,,what should I do when there are forty bikes as I met up with at the weekend.
A/ Should I give them a one wave to encompass the whole group.
B/ Should I split the group into two or three and wave to each section.
C/ Do I try to wave to each one individually, and what would happen if I missed one and he was a KB member?. Would I be ostracised forever and banished to the nether world inhabited by Harley/Ducati/BMW/Triumph etc riders???? Just wondering.

Incidentally, I tried C. My bloody arm's still aching and to make it worse I didn't get a wave back, but I almost ran off the road looking for one.

[McJim]

I waved at a fella on a sports bike on the way into Kawakawa on Saturday and I'd swear he waved back with his middle finger.

Could be my eyesight though - I'm getting on.

A. Definitely A. And preferably a big heil-hitler salute of an A. The bigger bolder and stupider the better. At least 1/3 of them won't be bah-humbugers and will appreciate the ackowledgement and humour.....

You don't get 'ostracised' to that world, you become successful in life enough to be able to afford to enter it.

And work hard to afford to maintain your place in that world...

I'd like to ride a BMW but my bank refuses to issue me with the tool kit...

I should have added - 'if you want to.'
