Question Do you rev at kids?

not as cruel as it sounds, my wife is a teacher and whenever we are driving behind a car and kids wave she always waves back.
On the way home from time to time I pass some kids twisting their wrist pretending to rev a bike and usually indulge them with a couple of revs, just wondered what others do or if its not a common thing etc?

Must say I'm far more inclined now I've got my new exhaust on

Are you sure they're not making some other sign involving their wrists?

Yeah I do that, waving too when a little lad shouts "motorbike!" feels good

Some scallies did the wrist twist to me a few weeks ago, so I duly obliged and promtly blew a coolant hose which was not cool.

haha true enough, nah the kids around here (quite a rural area) are usually quite nice. Thankfully I don't have to teach them though hehe

I wave at kids in cars if they wave at me , and blip if they ask for it , my thought is that they may end up as future bikers . Some kids in a bus were all up on the back window egging me on for an overtake once .... it was in Mid Wales somewhere about a week or so before NW4 . I indulged them with a massive wail of baffle out pipe and gunned it off into the Horizon . Safely of course with no distress to other road users and being sensible with it too

I gotta admit, I have before now ... but 99% of the time I just ignore the little fecks!!

Why would I want to do what a random kid tells me to do?!?!
