i'm a courier and see hundreds of bikers in town every day. most couriers are known to each other and will probably nod back. or, i actually get them to participate in a mexican wave or robotic wave waiting at the lights (because i can) others don't bother. when i go out of town, i pretty much nod at anything on two wheels, dunno why, just do, camaraderie thing i guess!!

I also wear hi-viz over leathers and don't always seem to get a nod back, I just chuckle when I throw the £8 Hi-vis in the washing machine and think of the others having to clean all those expensive leathers...

I'll nod, or wave if abroad, if I feel like it. Couldn't really care either way if someone goes past with out acknowledging me. Don't particularly buy into the biker 'family' so must nod at everything with two wheels that goes past.

On the contrary, I have some respect for the shrewd scooter riders who don't want to sit with the p1ss stenching general public on a foul peasant wagon.
