Title: This summer I'm going to be.........
Post by: squirrelciv on April 19, 2008, 07:56:39 AM
........a motorcycle snob!

Last weeks short lived burst of bright sunshine and dry roads brought out a plethora of part time motorcyclists all on shiney bikes with tinted visors. As I pottled along on my daily commute I would nod and wave away to my new found brothers for all I was worth welcoming them to my wonderful World of motorcycling.
Did I get a response? Did I buggery! Nope, nothing except a hand out as I was overtaken in my laneat 200mph on an otherwise relatively empty M4!
The only other involvement with this group of toy riders is to get stuck behind them when they refuse to filter, yet block out the space between lanes.
So that's it, I've had it with nods and waves. From now on if your bike isn't tatty and your gear isn't oily you'll get nowt from me!  ;D ;D ;D

No no, keep at it. I really enjoy the ones who try to wave back but hardly dare take their hands off the bars. They give you a sort of 1/2 second nanowave. Makes me cry with laughter... although to be fair to them, at least they are waving back.

Had a throtle lock on the BMW and could therefore wave right handed. That caused a few near misses  ::)
