What Happened to the bike Nod ??

[tiger800xc]

I admit its been 10 years or so Since my last bike
But every biker I passed would Nod, or wave and I liked that, the brotherhood the bond
but these days, only a hand full off people bother, what happened?


So My question is,
Do you nod or even wave?
And if not ,why not??
ya grumpy sod

Although One guy on a sport bike waved at me like a nutter

People stopped doing it...they thought they might get covid.
Seriously...it seems to have stopped during the covid lockdown...

Hello there 800xc, must be a Cheshire thing not nodding. Sometimes i do and sometimes i don't. Depends if i like the look of them.

Most riders nod in the Lancs/York’s area where I ride, except the cruiser riders in piss pot helmets, much to uncool for them?

I started riding a scooter half the time. Then I noticed that 98% of bikers do not wave to scooter riders. So I stopped waving while riding the scooter. Then it became too demanding of my thought process to remember what I was riding and what was appropriate, so I stopped waving altogether. I do wave back.

I always Nod to another bike.

I also like performance cars as much as bikes and I have a habit of nodding at them too…which gets some strange looks sometimes

I do nod sometimes but depends what they are riding ))
Sports bike no
Harleys no
Pizza delivery bikes no, all others will consider on their own merit!:)))

Pizza delivery bikes no

To be fair I now only get nods from the deliveroo contingent, whereas I must look like a nodding flipping donkey when I’m out on the roads. Everything is fair game

Made I laff.


I always nod especially to youngsters on scooters in an effort to make em feel part of the gang. If the nods not returned I'm ok with that, better to encourage than criticise.
