The nod

Been riding my gpx250 for a few weeks now.
Been getting the approving nod from every bike I pass.

Not quite sure what it means but I like it.

It is an acknowledgement that you have discovered The Secret.

Smile and nod back

TB
GPX ey.. it could be sympathy..
Cue BTH

 

Not everyone nods.

There are some pricks among the bunch.

 

I'm a girl, I don't nod does that make me a prick?

It's cheaper than buying one!

If your not nodding, and you're not a prick then be aware you have a more
than average chance of ending up as a stick up the bum BMW rider in later
life

No I sometimes don't nod because I'm generally too busy minding my own
business to remember!

Cruising through Berri this morning gave the nod and wave to a bunch of
'real' Harley riders (such as yourself Pisshead... none of these soft
wannabe accounting/legal types...) and got nods and waves back. Does this
mean they couldn't have actually been 'real'?

Umm.. hate to break it to you Gerry, but the Secret is not "you don't
*really* need a sidestand"

I only get waves back from the older ones (who aren't so scared of being
not tough enough) or if I'm on the Baby Beemer.

I think that's the Baby Beemer saving throw on Charisma though, it's
never failed yet.

Thats a valid point.

Ocasionally you have to keep your eye out for cars and can't always be
nodding to other bikers.

 

I think certain bikes are exempt from the biases of some riders your baby
beemer obviously means you've got nothing to prove or something like that.
Never fail to get a nod or wave back on the sidecar either.

No, but it does make you a snob. Get those neck muscles moving. It
doesn't cost you anything.

 

Stuff nodding. Bring back the wave.

 

BMW riders are the kelpie puppies of the motorcycle world...they are just
glad to be breathing & humping someones leg.

 

mate if they made it all the way to berry then they couldnt have been soft
accounting wankers
everyone knows they dont make it past leichardt

 

They were just trying to get the bees outta their helmets Dave!

 

I dont nod... I sorta do the head shake thing, like when ya winkin at
someone...

 

means you are not riding a Harley.
