Do you "salute" other bikers?

[Balky001]

Whenever possible I'll always nod and am usually the first to nod (not in rush hour traffic/London commuting). I'll nod back at scooters (never happens though!) but don't initiate as I can't remember when one recipricated one of my nods. The average scooter boy around here will think you're weird or trying to start a fight.

I find that hard to believe ... coz if you were - surely your time would be too filled by having 'relations' with lots of hot brolly dollies - also SVs would be a bit lame for a man of Pedrosa's pocket and calibre

What’s the story here dude! ?

Mr.Blue...My mama she travel all places with me and nice dolly girls she chase away. She say them only wanting do rude thingys with me.

I find SV foro when one of tyre mechanic sit and use lapping top in motor home one day. He say he speak to many plenty friends back in Ingland. I never trying SV moto but maybe if them given me plenty test time I being able to ride one ok,no?

Pedrosa, speaking of Estoril, damn unlucky off towards the end of the '06 season. How's the knee doing?

I quite often nod to people on SV's ... who must wonder why a bloke on a fazer is nodding to them

Mr.Baph...You is very nicely person for ask about knee. It fine ok now. I falling off when trying to showing my team mate how is to ride harder before Valeria go away at front. I not knowing at time that I having faulty tyre on bike which making me fall.

I would like point out, I wave, or nod my helmet. The is no saluting, this is not the Gestapo you know.

Salute: an act of greeting with friendly words and gestures like bowing or lifting the hat

OK, from now on I will be lifting the hat!

I shall be taking a bow

I usually nod, just a little sideways tilt, but having been "scorned" by so many scoot riders i normally dont initiate but do reciprocate

That said i nodded to a ped with L plates today...he just looked rather confused....which actually made the effort worthwhile.

I try to nod at other bikers but most of the time I'm too scared & concentrating too much on not crashing.
