How do you nod to..

Got the most friendly ever nod this evening on the way home from the local bike meet.
An old chap on an old brit bike/sidecar outfit, flashed lights then the cheeriest big wave and grin, now thats how it should be done

I appreciated finding this thread having done a search for 'etiquette',

I passed a matching blue pointy in richmond who gave me a big nod and having owned my SV and first big bike for less than 2 weeks I assumed I had cocked up and left an indicator on or was going the wrong way in a 1 way system.

If he is on this forum I apologise for not returning the nod, sticking my leg out or doing a reverse wheelie with my trousers down and appropriate cheek motif.

I'm really struck by the general support riders have for each other and glad to be part of the team!

You say that, come back when you have nodded to a few BMW GS bikers.... And Harley riders.

I'm assuming they are extra friendly. Should I give them a 2 finger salute and ride off really quickly?

Do what I do, stand on the pegs and wave both hands in an eccentric manner, for added effect if your visor isn't tinted then stare and do crazy eyes

I can't say i have tried that one just yet

I tend to opt for the hand up (Well past 45 degrees )
