Out last weekend and passed shed-loads of bikes. At least 95% acknowledged my wave, most of those the 'Sports Bike Power Ranger' scum!:rolleyes:

Maybe your acknowledgement just isn't obvious enough for an oncoming rider to see, Rhys. Mine is a full-on wave!:D

And so are a lot of mine. But I bet you find most who don't not back are the powerrangers who haven't been riding long enough to know what it means.
meh I don't usually look at them as I'm concentrating but if I see a headlight in the corner of my eye I'll give a twitch of the head.

Actually, we've found that the ones least likely to wave back are BMW riders and Harley riders.

Had a huge wave back and a grin from a guy on a trike though!:)

just because you ride a 125 dosent mean you have just passed or are starting some where, cheap to tax and insure (less than £100. a year & good on fuel)

It's a fair assumption though. I'd never get back on a 4stroke 125 , 2stoke I'd consider.

A lot of the h*rley riders round here just look straight ahead in a "I'm far too hard to acknowledge the presence of anyone else" kinda way.

you lot must have got stuck with the hells angels wannabes. We get a few druids round these parts though and I never dare wave for some reason :roll: They'll get a nod though.
