How do you nod to..
 

.. Groups of bikers when your on your own?

It made me think the other day when I was out riding on my tod having negotiated a sunny spell that I couldn't decide what to do when a group of around 12 bikers passed me on the opposite side of the road then it was too late and I just looked like an arrogant biker!

Now 1 biker no problem just nod, or if your in a group you don't look like a knob if you don't do anything.. So there lies the dilemma...

What do you guys do to acknowledge large groups of riders?

Pop a massive wheelie .... Joking I wave usually if there's loads of them , if I'm getting a move on then nothing

Mostly people will nod or just raise an arm.

Yeah I put my hand up if there's loads as my head would fall off if I nodded to all of them.

Nod at the first, if a really large group middle and then at the end. If you nodded at every one you would look like churchill so doing it this way means everyone in the group see's you.

Waving would work and not something I have tried as I haven't been riding long. I suppose if your on a corner waving wouldn't be the best but on a straight road would be good.

I found the best thing to do is one really slow exaggerated nod. To do it right, pretend you're trying to spot a plane high in the sky. Then this plane slowly falls out of the sky. Follow it with your head until it crashes into the school bus in front of you on the road. Should take about 10 seconds and result in a smooth long nod suitable for bike groups up to 23.

I nod to the first which should cover at least the first three, then do another nod for the ones behind.

Just a slow forward nod with your eyes still on the road ahead , if they see it then all`s good , if they don`t .... your hardly likely to bump into them at the Gentleman`s Club and get pulled on your lack of Etiquette

turn around and over take them all while doing a wheelie, while having you leather trousers down and a smiley face on your bum in marker pen.

There's always one isn't there :P
