Is the obligatory head nod enough when you've got the clutch engaged? Sometimes I feel rude, I always give other riders a 'wave'. I wonder if they ride by and think, "Just another a-hole on a sportbike."

:tt:

If you have the clutch in, Wave with your throttle hand, you not going anywhere. lol

But top answer your Question I use a head nod if Iam gearing down or near my turn. I wont risk a stupid wave over a dump in the middle of the road. :2cents:

i've done "the nod" and have received "the nod" and it's good for me. i agree with EarlZach, i'd rather nod than dump the bike.

I have done the head nod as well. A few of the times I will use the throttle hand and give a wave. Just depends on my mood I guess. :dthumb:

I don't know...somedays, a good dump feels pretty good...

I go with the nod. One of my early noob mistakes was almost letting go of the clutch for a wave, realized that was a stupid idea in time.

Go with the nod. If another rider gets insulted, you're not going to know, so who cares?

I will not make any special effort to wave in those circumstances.

if they are on a bike, they should understand why they got a nod and not a wave and shouldn't be offended. they've most likely done it too. i know i would understand. a nod is better than nothing.

I've noticed that the wave or head nod really isnt big here... :scratch: When I ride or observing riders while in cage no one really does that stuff here.. dont know what it is :scratch:

 

[Gas Man]

Well your problem is that you're waving in english and need to be doing it in Spanish! :lol:

 

[R1up0n1]

I do the head nod.

Bee when doesen't a big dump feel good? :lol:

 

[pickle.of.doom]

I will do the two finger up with the clutch hand sometimes, because I use the ohter two on the lever, but usually just nod yeah.

People on my right though, they always think I'm flippin em off, because I only use my middle finger on the brake lever, the other 3 (but mainly the pointer) for throttle control. I've gotten dirty looks at stoplights at not realized what for until I pulled off

 

[Mudpuppy]

I wave a piece of chalk so they can see I mark my tires to see how far I leaned er over.. :sorry: :spam:
