Hmmmmm....

That's twice in two days I've been nodded at by a police biker whilst riding
back from work. Could this mean that they're not all that bad really, or do
the police in Norfolk have nervous twitches (I thought it was just the
sheep) and I'm just taking it the wrong way

 

No, I've frequently got a return nod from police bikers.

 

Count yourself lucky, the only time I've ever been pulled up was by
motorcycle coppers in Essex on a few occaisions. Shows you how long it's
been, we haven't had m/cycle cops in essex in... ...ages!

I was warned the 350lc might attract them ;-)

Have you been nodded at/acknowledged by other bikers whilst walking in
town in bike leathers?
I was just on my way back to the bike and passed another biker walking,
and we sort of nodded and said "Hi."

Very weird.

 

I often get nodded at by Police bikers and some in cages.

I've never been nodded by a police biker, despite me nodding first.

heh, yeah, that does happen.

 

I've got nods from Police (cars and bikes) before - in one case I almost
crashed into the car in front whilst returning the nod of a police bike on
the other side :|

Heh, well they could at least nod to say "I've got my eye on you,
sonny" sort of thing. Makes me feel a right prune :-(

 

I've had a few waves/nods...
.... and one Paddington hard stare, but that's another story

I can imagine ;-)

 

It wasn't a return nod, it was definately them first. I was too busy trying
to look innocent and get it in top so the pipe didn't sound so loud when
they went past, to even think about nodding at them Don't know what it is
about authority figures but I always feel guilty of something in their
presence.

Probably the fac tyou're doing something wrong?

 

Something wrong, me, never, it's not in my nature It's probably a
psychological thing. Bet there's even a long word for it.

 

Guilty Conscience?

 

IKWYM, I always feel like that. Mind you I was out today on my FJ,
having just picked it up there isn't any tax yet.
