Bring it back!!!

Wat about this... if there is a rider stopped at a set of lights will you pull up right beside him and say gday

yep, i'm always up for a chat at the lights........then you can give the other guy a wave when you go your separate ways

like the guy who said to me while i was on the zrx "you've kept that ol dunger in good nick".......... needless to say i may have taken off a little quickly

[StuMiller]

I'm all for sitting at the light and having a chin wag.

I think it's fantastic how you can approach another biker and just strike up a conversation, yet you can't do that to another car driver - That's coz we're special and different.......

Many moons ago at Phillip Island at a SBK race, I remember being there on my 98 ZX-7R, it must have been one the friendliest atmospheres in Cowes I have ever come across in my 20 years of PI holidays. Everyone was enjoying a beer or 5 and just admiring the bikes, stories, skantily clad young women and the burnouts.

Then I recall going for a V8 Supercar round and the whole feel of the place was different. All they wanted to do was get pissed and punch on.

Long live the passion of two wheels and the friendships that follow!!!!!

No, I'm a bit shy like that, but if someone approaches me first I'll more than likely say hello.

Always pull up along side for a chat unless they're a Harley riding tosser, with blah, blah, blah......in that circumstance I pull up just forward of them, lift an arse cheek in their general direction and some of my personal exhaust their way. If they're gonna snarl anyway, may as well give 'em a reason.......

what else can you really have a chin wag about in a 1 minute sesh

i get the odd, Hot aint it! or where ya riding too / from.

i got to admit i don't nod to female riders, cause i feel it would be intepreted as something sinister (because i assume they get harrassed by lots of male bikers and even guys in cars) ... weird ain't it.

Dont ignore us!!!....that's just rude! We do get our fair share of hecklers, but that's part of riding ..and we can hold our own can't we Ladies!

ALL FOR THE NOD!! never known any different -
Mind you i don't bother nodding at harley's or immitation harleys because i dont want them to cause an accident if they shift their eyes off the road - AND SCOOTERS ARE NOT BIKES - pocket bikes are bikes (not real bikes, but bikes non the less)..scooters were created by a kid to lazy to stand up, then too lazy to push themselves along...Motorised eski's are more usefull!!...and more inviting.....

People who love their bikes, love the culture and repect other riders WILL NOD!

Cheers Possum

I always wave or nod at bike police even the ones pulled over on the side of the road (if they're not stopping someone or busy etc)

Always gets returned because I must be riding in a friendly way.

I find even the car officers which are parked with the bikes are friendly and will wave I figure the more friendly I am with the police hopefully the more they don't make assumptions about all riders.

Everytime i see a cop bike "wild hogs" pops to mind, i cant help it. Im surprised that the laughing hasnt got me into trouble yet.

if i ever find myself in country Victoria and i see a biker riding an ER6 with what looks like a ferret attacking the back of their helmet, i'll make sure and nod!

[Neka79]

any of u who know me, know i love a bit of a chat...so is it suprising that i do have a chin wag at lights??

[IsleofNinja]

Yep a nod here and a friendly gesture there go a long way..

A had several chats at lights on the way to the Northam Bike show a few weeks ago..Old school , new school , Harleys , British etc...No malice , no predjiduce..Just everyone enjoying the same thing.....Riding...

p.s; on ya 'neka'

[Neka79]

well actually... i pretty much just have a chat anywhere,.... to anyone wholl listen...

[Daisy]

Well! Didn't I get lucky today. A nod AND a flash of the lights.

[Benno]

I nod and tip the lid to all I see. Except if they look like Neka. Then it's the bird!

This thread crossed my mind this morning as I passed a High Vis wearing Hardly Rider - I had to nod, and fark me dead he nodded back

[JetPilot]

I always nod, no matter who it is.... even Hardley riders. My missus nods as well, when on the back.
The only draw back is when there is 15 riders in a row.... I get a sore neck.
