Iggy Bikers

Is it just me, or is the nod of the head or a wave dying out ?
I have noticed over the past few weeks that there has been a bit of ignorance and no acknowledgements going on.........., I know the cruiser / harley boys are a law to themselves........................or may be i need to change my deodorant...lol

Some nod....some don't.

Personally i have given up nodding first, for the most part. Too many anti-social gits won't nod back. If someone nods then i'm usually happy to reciprocate.

Having said that sometimes i'm just not in the mood.

I think i will adopt the same approach, instead of being ignored, and feeling a d*^k

i got a lot of nods today and also a few waved. Also a few waved their leg - which I found rather strange. friendly bunch up here

maybe coz i am relatively new to the biking thing, i always nod, but i can see how it must get a bit tired after years of it.

i have noticed some folk dont return the gesture, but that could be down to traffic ahead, how busy the road is, etc

Tone...dont feel like a d*<k

IMO its not whether they nod back or not. You had the cursity to nod in the first place and its only the arrogant sods who dont nod back who need a lesson in socialiasm.

I dont give a monkeys if a biker nods back or not. Its the fact that i keep the aprreciatiation of the other bikers going by giving them a nod in the first place.

If I'm enjoying myself I'll wave otherwise just nod, but was out yesterday and everybody responded. Even the cruiser boys.

+1 to Blueto's post.

There's no need to feel bad about not getting a response.

I *always* nod/wave etc, and when i don't get a response (unless it's like last weekend and the end of the Dragon Rally around here) then I laugh at the sad gits. They're either busy planning, in which case fair play, or they're just too stuck up to bother.

It bares no reflection on me if someone I don't know ignores me. I remember Blue posting a thread about imaginary situations being funny, this is one of them for me.

I always seem to get a nod, even from the scooter boys. Have also perfected the both-thumbs-on-side-of-helmet-wiggling-fingers salute to amuse small children in the back of cars.

+1 I nod when i want & don't always check for a reply, the reply is not important. Just think where we would be if nobody did anything until someone else did it first.
