Wavin' or noddin'

snip... If a tin top moves over to let me through i give em thankyou wave. .

this is very important..and helps the CAUSE!!!

oh...
and I agree with Rob....mirrors are expendable if the cage
driver is acting like a dickhead..or is trying to assault your person
with 1500kg of Simsmetal....

You guys make me laugh.
I tend to wave to any one, except for scooters in cbd and st kilda. Also I wave to any road user who sees you and treats you like a legitament road user, not just a nusciance. Coz I grew up in the Hot Rod seen I tend to wave to anyone in, or on a cool set of wheels. Could be a GTR, Wrex, steetfighter, commuter, sporty or even a HD. Maybe coz most cage dwellers view us all as villans.
Of all the riders though, harleys are the worst. But that figures, a long time ago a wise old man tought me the second rule of hot roding; "if it dont go, chrome it!"
I,ve found the best wat fix those toooooo cooooool harleys is a mono at the first set lights, then just play with 'em at the next, and just smoke 'em at the third.

But be warned, I came accross one a couple of years ago that gave me trouble. On closer inspection it had a radiator, water jackets, and NOS, go figure. Still didn't stop too well though. But as it turned out, he was cool. We both laughed our heads off all the way to work that mornig.

To sum it up, Riders wave, and all the posers can please em selves.

I think that's an excellent way to sum it up.

[troyh78]

guess you have worked out by now that....
Harley riders don't, some italian types on dukes don't, scooter riders
generally don't and ppl on the road on traillies generally don't
most others do......
btw
the best wave and a nod I have ever had....
was from a learner (L plater) on the Deans Marsh to Lorne rd a few years ago....
he rose outta the seat, nodded and then taking both hands off the
bars...gave a 'mexican' wave....(like at the footy or cricket)
I was so stunned, I nearly missed the entry point to the next corner
(and on the Lorne to Deans Marsh rd...that is a no-no :shock: )
so
just keep trying...

"nil barstardo caborundum" or something like that
my Latin is sheeethouse..... :lol:
but basically...don't let the bastards wear you down....

keep nodding and waving....thats one of the things that separate us from 'cage' drivers

cheers

mate, that is the best roflmao post I have read today...still laughing, I read it late but no matter...

keep nodding and chuck a wave in every now and then, why not?

an update
we went down the same road on the Vic ride yesterday

no response from the Harley riders as usual...
but I did get a response from most of the others including a cupla Ducati riders....
no 'mexican waves' this time though....

cheers

i try to nod as much as possible to other road bikes ( harleys and scooters are excused ) most of the time i dont get a nod back, (then i just mutter under my breath) but when i do, it always puts a smile on my face. i even give a wave to fellow Z riders, or in the past when i had a honda, (said under his breath) other hornet riders. Its like door to door salesman.....If you nod enough times to enough people, sooner or later your gunna get a nod back!
