Fair weather friends

[Toooldtodie]

Now I know all .org members are a friendly bunch, but as the roads swell with the less, er... hardy bikers can we, who have braved the rain and snow of recent winters, at least get a nod from those now getting back on the road? It's just polite; and after all who else understands bikers other than a fellow biker?! Let's show it!

I always nod, I try to be a friendly biker summer or winter, in fact I sometimes find myself giving a friendly nod when in the car!

Always nod, even to learners and Harleys. Sometimes even scooters if I'm feeling particularly at one with the world

you nod in winter as they are other proper bikers, you don't in summer because then your a nodding dog

I was in mid wales last weekend camping on the bike, a high number of sports bike riders didn't return my nod, too busy in their one piece romper suits trying to look fast.

so true!

Bikers r very snobbish. Most return a nod when on the cb1r but never when on the Ped!! Except a few dayglo boys in the depth of winter anyhow.

Plus all the bikers coming out of hibernation: please take it easy and stop throwing yourselves into the street furniture thinking your Marquez

I don't ride in the rain because I don't like it, do I count as a fair weather rider?

Or do I count as a hardy winter rider because I rode over a thousand miles in the coldest European winter for thirty years to go and camp in a metre of snow?

Now I don't know if I should be nodding or not!!!

I hate riding in the rain - ill ride in the blistering cold - even in heavy wind. I still nod at every biker that goes past and I don't often get nods back. Arrogant ****s.
