    Allright with the nods and waves but here in Euro land there is also the leg wave, as you pass another rider in the same direction, a quick leg wave. As I'm bloody cosmapolitan I do it every now and then, any body else ????

    Every time i try to ride or drive round Cornwall all the farmers are getting their own back with tractor & trailers overloaded with hay.

    I do wave to caravanners though.

    It was started by the pocket rocket riders as a means to stop the cramp.
    As you pass another bike you extend the left leg to allow the blood flow to return, either that or it was a poor attempt at trying to kick the other rider.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Would that be the one finger wave?

    try driving a motorhome, I get fed up with waving at other motorhomes.

    some of them just get silly with it.

    mind you there's quite a bit of snobbery / jealousy with it, a lot of the drivers of small vans seem to look on in when the driver of a larger van waves.

    still it's good for a laugh and you can spot the couples that have rowed dead easy
