I always like it when a biker on a bigger bike nods to me. But I can see why most dont because there are so many chavs riding around.

i generally try to nod to everyone except the obvious chav scooter trash - but if its a good rider i'll definitely nod whatever.
wierd though that some cruisers wont nod back - but always the sports bikes!
there are some top 125 road reps about now and they good bikes.
it used to make my day on my DT50 if i got a nod off another biker!

i'm happy to nod to anyone but must say i only occasionally nod to scooter riders but this is because i've found that very few of them nod back.
so it turns out.........sometime i do give a f*ck

I only nod at people on bikes over 900cc because they are the only true bikers, the rest are just amateurs.
Sigs are for poseurs and wimps

I certainly dont nod at every bike I see, if im out for a blast in the lanes somehwere I am more likely to give a nod.
riding slowly around town or suburbs I rarely bother - feel free to call me a miserable [bar steward].

I don't bother with cruisers unless they nod first...
I do nod to most others, even 50's, but not Chavs...

I don't tend to nod to moped riders, only coz there are so many of them about
, and if I see a group of bikers then I will usually nod to the first and last rider....
