Re: Do you nod???
I always try to - sometimes I tend to look at the other bike and somehow just forget! Sometimes give crazy hand gestures to peeps on choppers and cruisers
! Defo do not not to chav's in tracksuits on peds! 
Re: Do you nod???
yeah i do but only to sensible riders wearing all the correct clothing and i never nod at a moped most of them are just immature 16yr olds.

Re: Do you nod???
I nod to the guys on the peds etc that I know but out and about I wouldn't normally. Do tend to ignore those not wearing the right gear or give a shake of the head as I go past! Other than that anyone on two wheels, get a bit cheesed off when bikers don't nod back, don't see any reason to be ignorant!

Re: Do you nod???
I tend to flash my lights and give a thumb down to bikers in the truck and the car if i have passed a obvious hazard on the road, including the bluebottles, so if ya see a big white Scania flashing headlights and pointing a thumb down or a yellow leon for that matter take care ,hazard9 wrote:LOL.. THE LEFT BOOT IS A FAVOURITE OF MINE IF I PASS YOU..
IT ALSO DOUBLES AS A WARNING FOR THOOSE FOLLOWING THERES A CERTAIN CAR UP IN FRONT IF YA WITH ME'
THAT IVE SPOTTED N YOUR ABOUT TO...![]()
THERES SOME SCOOTERS AROUND HERE (WHERE I AM) THAT REALLY CHEESE ME OF SO I TEND TO STICK FINGERS UP WHEN THEY LOOK STARE ETC.

That's my point, wave/warn only if there's a problem ahead.Mervin wrote: I tend to flash my lights and give a thumb down to bikers in the truck and the car if i have passed a obvious hazard on the road, including the bluebottles, so if ya see a big white Scania flashing headlights and pointing a thumb down or a yellow leon for that matter take care ,

In my experience, alot of biker's don't know what the thumb's down thing is - I've done it before, on the bike & in the car, only to get a totally blank look back - I know it's a 'standard' signal for the lorries.

Re: Do you nod???
Probably saved some guys licence a few weeks ago, was in a 30, long straight slight industrial bit. Came up to a roundabout, coming other way towards me, copper then van, car, bike. Bike swings out from roundabout overtakes the car at what sounded and looked like full chat, obviously not seen the police lol so gives him thumbs down big time as he started to pull out round the van. He soon stopped

Re: Do you nod???
There you go Ive been riding for 24 years(yes Blue I know badly)
and I never knew about
the thumbs down thing.
So if any of you see a fat bloke on a XBR 500 or a blue 406 estate doing the thumbs down
its for a reason and Iam not being a tw*t. Well not this time anyway

Re: Do you nod???
Usually side nod to other bikers not scooters unless retro. I do the closed hand and open twice if I see a piggy with speed camera to warn others and flash lights.
