Default Re: Nod or a Wave

Most people nod for me, although my jacket bunches up and it looks like i have tits so maybe they just think i'm a w0man.

I motioned hysterically at a 'dude' on a big black harley thing and go no emotion, but i don't expect anything from ****ing ******s like that

I'm getting into the wave now

Got to admit I did neglect to nod at a kid on a r-1...25 the other day. But I see him about and he's a tit on it.

I got plenty of nods on my 50cc "bike"



I s'pose it does look a bit more like a proper bike than some, but it still had L plates on it

they're rapid them. Bet whoever nodded at you felt like they'd been ripped off as they heard you buzz past annoyingly :P.

Yeah had it clocked at ~65ish by an instructor on a blackbird. That was fully tucked like a tw4t on a long downhill stretch of the A3 though lol. Was an absolute nightmare if you came to a slight hill.. would have to knock it down 2 gears and keep the revs just off the redline to keep the speed up haha!

They probably did feel ripped off Still made me smile when they nodded back. Some of them actually initiated the nod. I did have a daily nod with another rider who I always seemed to pass at the same point each day on my commute

you should have made a bizzare secret nod for him as a daily treat.

I used to get nods on my 125 it is nice, I give 125s nods. gotta start somewhere.

One of those buggers all up my **** earlier today, gave me a nod at the traffic lights then buzzed all around me, eventually flying off onto a side-road... trying to prove a point i guess.

If it wasn't for the exhaust on that thing i'd have trouble working out what cc it was, looks really nice.
