Are you a nod snob
Ok you all know what I mean here the nod of "yes you are also a cool motorized bicycle rider" the question is do you give that warm feeling of receiving a nod to the spotty 16y/o on his step through twist and go?

Re: Are you a nod snob
Good shout Funky. Helmet, proper jacket, boots, gloves and at least Jeans and they get a nod from me. Nobbers wearing trainers, shorts and a t-shirt I've got no time for!

Re: Are you a nod snob
don't you find though that alot of them don't nod because they don't know about the 'nodding' thing. to them the bike is just a step up from a bicycle and a step down from a chavvy corsa.
the ones that do nod you know understand a bit more than the fact it's just a bike - they will always get a nod from me.
a still nod at harley riders, i know they won't return it but i also know it winds them up

Re: Are you a nod snob
Wonder who nods to them whilst out walking or is that tourette's syndrome (fcuk off)
I do nod back on the bike to peeps who Nod, never done it to a scooterist tho or should I say sowing machine.

Re: Are you a nod snob
+1 on that!Funky wrote:No gears, no safety gear, no nod
Ad the majority of kids on the twist and goes in Plymouth A) don't wear the right gear B) ride like tit's giving us true bikers a bad name and C) I get rage
Maybe because when i was 16 i had a ZR50s proper bike with gears n everything lol

and was respectful to others and ok had a few silly moments but nothing like i see these days!

Re: Are you a nod snob
i nod to most bikers who wear a decent gear, helmet, jacket and jeans at least.. but never nod to those on mopeds and the 50cc dirt bikes
my first days on the bike i realiesed that they never nod back so i only nod to the proper bikers now 
Keep the shiny side up, and the rubber down! 
Re: Are you a nod snob
those 50cc dirt bikes can get over drain covers though ay?
