No because I do it myself sometimes if I don't notice them till the last minute. Don't take it personally

Some people don't nod altogether, some wave instead..

I don't always do it, usually cos I'm concentrating on the other clowns in cages round me, or whats round the bend.

Don't even give them a second thought. They might be being rude (if they're not just concentrating or didn't notice you etc) but......they'll pass you and not give you another thought. By getting annoyed, you're letting them affect your day......don't. If you thin the rider was a pr!ck.....say so under your breath and move on, forgetting about them!

Its often at this time of year, the power ranger, weekend warrior fair weather, one seasoners have just bought a new bike and don't think about it or don't understand.

Don't give it a second thought.

Default Re: bikers that dont non back !!!

do what i do.

1- flash your lights rapidly

2- nod your head erraticly

3- if they still don't notice do all the above while waving

4- should the above fail flail your arms in a team america style fashion

5-should none of that work kamikaze towards them at full speed, then they have no choice but to acknowledge you.


*i will not be held responsible for any injury sustained while attempting my methods of getting noticed.*

Just nod and don't pay a bit of attention if they don't, unless they're on an SV and then I think they're a miserable bastar*

thats it! im doing that from now on (unless leant over trying not to run into a hedge) wave arms like theres no tomorrow. Would love to see the response from the other rider though lol

Dont worry about people not responding. had a couple today who didnt but then i think they were busy concentrating. Although the guy on the custom giving a full on wave made up for it
