Do you nod???

[PeterM]

i nod at most on 2 wheels , and when in france recently they seem to do a peace "v" sign sideways aparently stand for 2 wheels ! and every biker nods/ hands out over there even the 50 and 125's, and loads o cars flash n thubs u up aswell

The "V" sign is to show the enemy that you still have your two index fingers therefore you can still fire from a long bow

Apparently the enemy used to remove those two fingers thus making you unable to join the army as you were unable to fire a bow and arrow

Somehow its ended up as a common motorcycle greeting

ps

I usually Nod but its surprising how many totally ignore me I assume because I ride a Pan......but hell who cares

got to say i like the two fingered, slow slung, lazy, continental, horizontal high fives. I believe thats the term

i'd drive on the right just so i could do it all the time

[haynesvfr750]

yer its kwl better than a nod n the foot out wen overtaking is also good , and i have to say i prefer riding on the right seems more natural !

[Billi]

was going to add, but just got beaten to it,, that when riding in France, Belgium and Germany I noticed that when overtaken by another bike they stick their leg out in acknowledgement,, very cool methinks,,

[SlowR1der]

Yeah someone cocked their leg at me yesterday when i was riding back from Llandow......dont see it too often

[Cheese Monkey]

Cheeky wink sorta nod from me

Dont really care about the gear, but find people that dont wear the gear tend not to nod back... Always nod at 125 bike learners, used to love it when I started out lol

[JohnBob]

Yeah, i've perfected a kinda nod/wink. I keep nodding at a guy riding a harley with ape-hangers, i don't mean to either because he never acknowledges me, but it keeps happening automatically

Plus; has anyone else nodded whilst driving a cage?

[STICHER]

I always nod at others on 2 wheels even peds
But I have noticed that over the last 10 years or so less bikers
tend to do it
But then again doing a handstand and mooning at the is time is
possibly a bit much

lol was just thinking the same, have caught myself doing the same- and as a pedestrian Occasionally when out on the bike someone walking down the street will nod at me, so we're not alone

[CBR6Jade]

I was in my garden having a lunch barby( before watching GP) otherwise I'd have nodded at you . I'm always nodding, little 'jazz hands' style waves and constant catch myself nodding at bikes whilst in the car! But then maybe I'm just over excitable .

[dayz]

i nod or wave if the speed isnt excessive (traffic) also take my left hand off the bar slightly for a wave or thumb up when overtaking, just do 1 or 2 nods for a large group, nod at the pleasent learners not the bellends.

think its a brilliant part of the culture, drivers never nod at each other cus their usually too busy on the phone or fiddling with their satnav

[billinom8s]

i'll always nod, never get a reply from harleys or goldwings tho.
