Angry Nod or a Wave

Why dont bikers wave or even nod anymore, over 30yrs i've been on 2 wheels and it's doing my ed in. We always used to, didnt matter what you were on.

Went out today 100% nodded (bar a few in a big group but I just nodded to the group as a whole anyway). Gave a wave to a sv and got one back.

its because the weathers nice so the people you see out are the ***** that just went out and bought a fancy sports bike to ride when the suns shining. They don't know they're supposed to nod.

too many bikes to nod and wave in the city plus need to keep my eyes on the black killer cabbies and buses but always do nearer home

I am definitely seeing a lack of nodding nowadays! Makes me feel like a right plonker nodding to someone who just rides straight past!

could possibly be because they've got their eye on a hazard or they're a ****. A lot of sportsbike powerrangers don't nod back just a bit unfriendly (although I suppose you southerners are in general ) who cares though **** 'em they've only been riding two minutes most of em. (like me)
Don't feel like a plonker, it's their problem.
