Hi,

yeah spot on man,

thanks

More wave,s and nodding the better.

When I ride Japanese bikes riders on Japanese bikes wave most of the time but Harley riders dont wave.

When I ride my Harley japanese riders dont wave, but get this I find most Harley riders don't wave even if your on a Harley. I find most guys on Harleys think they are better than the other Harley riders, Harley riders with ape hangers are the worst.

I just dont get it, so now I don't wave to Harley riders.

Always give a nod when I can, you're right ,it doesnt cost anything, and I get a good laugh from the clowns from the above mentioned gay pirate set-up.

i always nod, i find a lot of other bikers dont nod back

if your singing do da da doo waa thing, could be the reason

 

I always nod back and usually have a chat at the lights ,lol most of the time the jappers look surprised that a Harley rider is talking to them ,when I was on my Jap bike Harley riders very rarely gave me the nod

 Do you see every falcon driver waving at each other? of course ya bloody don't, so why do you expect everybody on a bike to bloody well wave, you people seen how many bikes are on the roads these days, fucken heaps I'm not waving to every dick on a bloody bike fuck that, if I think I know the rider coming my way I might wave but fuck the rest, I'm in my world when I'm on my bike not theirs,  if that sounds selfish then thats what it is.  

Time to "necro" this post

If this dog can wave... so can u...

I love getting and acknowledging the bird from a on comeing 

I was waiting at the lights today and a front wheel pulled up level with my left leg. I had to turn my head a bit to see who it was and it was a young sheila on a scooter wearing a medical mask.
I said "How are you?" and she replied 'Good thanks"
I deliberately let her get ahead and noticed she was wearing a mini skirt and high heels.
It would be good if that sort of thing happened more often.

Totally mate.

Nod or wave if it floats your boat but if you get upset about not being acknowledged, you're doing it for the wrong reason.

I always give a nod or a wave, if I get one back, all good if not, no big deal.

Never had a girl in a mini skirt on a scooter pull up beside me but I did get a grandad on a scooter one who had been to shops for the Sunday paper. Was still dressed in a dressing gown and slippers. LOL.

'Cruisers', tend to give the nod.

'Super bikes' .... not so much.

Arseholes ! Lol

Here's a leg wave. Used when it's unsafe to remove hands from the bars. Incorrectly executed though. 

What boots are they ???? Or is that another thread.

That might be what they mean when they say a person was "showing a clean set of heels"

This is a relatively old expression, which means to run faster than someone who is trying to catch you. Some people consider the idiom to be old fashioned. Here are a few examples. *The thief jumped down from the balcony and showed the policeman a clean pair of heels.Jan 21, 2003

I really noticed the lack of waving even in my country town when i parked up my Moto Guzzi Le Mans and bought the Harley. Overnight the waving stopped. I mean Harley riders were never big wavers, so that's why other marques never waved to them. You get ignored enough times you stop doing it.
But i figured the Harley riders will wave to me now. No such deal.
I knew it wasn't because i presented as the type who woke up in their 50's and decided they'd always wanted a motorbike and went to the Harley dealer with wife and teenage jkids in tow to buy a bike, a pair each of Johnny Rebs and a matching pair of leather vests on the one invoice. I'm always in singlet and thongs. So i figured it was an outlaw thing and the 1%'ers were just non wavers.

Eventually i figured it out as i built up my own prejudices further. I've always hated copies of things where companies try to cash in other companies styles. I'd hated Hondas copy of my Guzzi, i hated Yamaha's original copy of the Harleys back in my younger days and i have disrespected those who buy 'plastic harleys' ever since.

I think that may be it, at least it is for me. I'd hate to think that the guy i just waved too thinking it was a brother on a Harley was riding a fucking Virago or some shit that was built to look like a Harley and sound like a sewing machine. And front on when they are coming fast it's hard to tell quickly.
It's one reason not to wave anyway?
