    I nod or wave to every rider I pass, postie, coppers, trail bikes, even BMW riders (don't bother even thinking about it to hardly ferguson or cruisers).
    My thoughts are that I will make the effort and if they couldn't be bothered then that is their problem, not mine.

    The nod, this subject raises it's head about every 12 months or so. I tend to nod most times, hey, it cost nothing.:thumb_ups:

    I used to when I first started riding years ago. Most would acknowledge or flash lights, but BMW riders would always just ignore you.
