Don't forget to say a cheery "on your left"
Do it for the TE gals
Can't you get someone to follow you with a video camera when you do this?

I'm thinking one of those helmet-cams should do it.

On the paths around here, everyone seems pretty friendly so far. There is the occassional one who you can tell is just out there hammering and doesn't know anyone else exists. On the road, I've found that I get more waves/nods from people on Harleys then I get from roadies.
Strange... Just goes to prove that it's got nothing to do with the bike and a lot to do with the person riding it.
Ok, I don't normally ever do this and I apologize, but... ==>> Not cool at all. Geonz, that was pretty quick and harsh judgement from someone who claims to not do such things. **And yeah, I guess I'd qualify as one of those "fragile" people that you seem to think deserve your pity. I believe you may need it more. (Sorry, I don't often get upset, but that comment got to me.)
Peace to you all

Where I ride almost all road bikers will nod, wave, or say "hi" (I like to say "good morning!"). I was put off by the guy who buzzed by me without so much as a "on your left"...he was tuned out with his iPod. Originally Posted by Xrayted

I've never gotten any response from a motorcycle rider.Last edited by HillSlugger; 09-28-2006 at 11:00 AM.

most motorcyclists have been really friendly to us except for the !#@$@ who told us to get off the road (right outside a state park)

I believe the appropriate response to that is, "bite me."
