When they look right at me and sneer. Then look away (only happened once, but the guy was on a cruiser, and I've got a sportbike). Haha.
He probably knew you. :wink:
Yeah, I'd sneer at me too.
LOL :laughing:

Crazy. I heard a rider died around Canandaigua the other day. Ran his bike off a bridge, something about sudden depression. Police aren't sure what caused it.

I don't wave at all any more. I just channel my mental abilities at the other rider for acknowledgement. Because my mental capacities are limited I use the aluminum foil under my helmet to help focus. The foil also helps keep the government spies out of my head. The voices get too loud and are annoying. They keep interfering with our conversations with myself.

Watch the grammar, JCS. It's "They keep interfering with our conversations with ourselves." Of course, it could be "... myselves." Or would that be "... ourself." We can't make up our minds.

Because I'm a newbie I'm usually too scared to take a hand off, so I give the "Chin Up".

I hope this is legitimate.

Heh. There were 2. The other one you didn't mention is much more cut and dry. Kid + Overpowered Sport Bike (WAY Overpowered) didn't pay attention. Hit a rail. Flipped. Held on to bike. Took out a fence. Hit a Boat. Hit a Truck. Hit a Tree. He's still alive...technically. They couldn't lift him onto a stretcher...he was like lifting a human bag full of squished Jello per one of the paramedics on the scene (who took the RiderCourse with me!).

Pretty bad stuff. Makes me want to keep my head up.

Reminds me of Mordeth's wave....the frantic roof raisin' two hander he does in his video :laughing:


You guys shouldn't be alarmed - unless you see me wave! :mrgreen:

I'd rather you not wave and be comfortable, then wave and be nervous, then potentially crash :P
