I gave up when i was riding through london. You nod at someone and youre in the back of something!

I nod if i fee like it. I did get a wave from someone when i went to Wales recenelty, on the M4. I was so much in my own little world that i didnt notice until the last minute

Nod or a wave at everyone!,

Scooter riders will hopefully feel accepted into the brotherhood and aspire to a 'proper' bike

Harley riders' harley' ever return but fik 'em, we know you can't havnae much between the ears for parting with best part of £20k for pose value

And most def at learners - wasn't long since i had the dreaded L plates and it was soooo cool if I got a nod from a 'proper' biker.

If I don't get a return - they get TW*T muttered at them.

I have noticed people hardly nod back these days either and sure we might have nothing in common but I just think it's polite and i always nod.

If I took the same attitude into everyday life i think I would never speak to anyone I don't know as they maybe kiddy fiddlers but then we would all just only converse via texts and the Internet.

I'm not a people person But it's nice to sometimes acknowledge other people.

You click on the "Quote" button and wait a second . A reply screen opens up and you then leave everything alone and move your mouse to underneath the bit within the [ ..... ] brackets and type your reply there .

You can also remove things they have written in there if it is a bit long winded and bothersome or a pile of irrelevant stuff but you have to make sure the brackets and details are untouched for it to make sense .

TBH you ride out on a fine sunny summers day and you'll end up with a bad neck. Peeves my off when you nod first and you don't get one back.
