    Don't be red. I don't acknowledge them either. I don't hate Harley's ....mainly because erm.... I used to own one The difference is, I was living in the US at the time where you have the big open roads they were designed for. Here, they just "ain't right".

    I wave or nod to most but having consistenly got blanked by HDs and BMWs I don't bother with them.... but maybe I should go completely over the top with them just to piss them off I believe it's only bruvverly and nice to acknowledge your fellow rider......

    Same here. Even the cops.

    Some time back while going flat out through a particularly nice bit of twisty that's marked at advisory 60 km/h, legal limit 80, and me doing 110. Um, hi mr police officer. :wave:

    He waved back too.

    I had a cop bike nod at me 1st this morning - I was filtering down a particularly narrow gap just at a Pelican and I saw him in the queue the other way, as we made eye contact he nodded and smiled. I nodded bak and just carried on a bit puzzled by it.
