How to wave to a KB'er?

[Qkchk]

Here is my question........


Has anyone ever thought of a 'specific wave' just for Kbers?

Here is some examples:
Example 1: You are on the Motorway heading home and see another biker in the distance, you catch up (come on, we all do...) and you are curious if that person could be a KBer. So how do you signal to them that you are?

Example 2: You see a oncoming bike and wave out. They wave back and it looks like someone of Kb but your not quite sure. If only you had a 'KB Wave'...?


Right, time for constructive discussions.............

If there was a 'KB Wave', would should it be? There is always going to be some small penis that says "The birdy" we can all grow up and get over that one... Keep in mind it should be something basic and be able to done with the left hand only. I think some kind of 'Westside' style hand fling will be difficult with gloves, let alone making you look like a dick.

My suggestion: Tap your head instead of the hand wave or nod?





Ok, so I havent got all day to trawl through 3 4 or 5 years worth of achives.....I dont think this has been covered before

No form of wave that is practical would be distinctive enough to avoid confusion.

The answer is for every KBer to fit sa small flag staff to his/her/its bike, and a small KB flag thereupon.

Then , when a strange bike is espied, the flag can be raised , by menas of a simple system of ropes and pulleys. The other bike, if a KBer will of course respond in like fashion.

Experienced riders can elaborate upon this by the use of various secondary flags or pennons , akin to the signalling system used with such success by the Royal Navy.

So would you like to 'greet' Qkchk on the 'road' with that 'wave', or shall I?

Some contentious curmudgeon has attempted to object to this most excellent scheme, upon the piffling and inconsequential grounds that you cannot see flags at night.

The obvious response to this is that it can be resolved by the same solution adopted by the Royal navy , several centuries ago.

At night, the flags will be supplemented by rockets.

Surely people can identify such self evident solutions for themselves. Why do I always have to do the thinking.

[Sable]

I would suggest the simple method of making a fist, but leaving an evenly shaped opening in it so that one can see daylight through it, and moving it back and forth in a linear direction relative to the knuckles.

[Dani-D]

Its the finger but with both hands, because as KBers you'd have extra mad skillz and be able to to that. Only blouses would use one hand. Thats what sticky throttles are for.

How about we pull up next to them, and assuming they 1. haven't blasted off thinking its game on for a race, and,
2. they haven't brake checked your ass for being so close,
we could pull our handy dandi green laser pointer and flash them a super uber complicated message sequence explaining we come in peace and just want to know what bizarre login name they use on KB? Aim for the eyes though or they may miss it.

Oh... I thought that was the general "hello" wave. I get that alot from guys in gay toyracers cars.

The thumb and forefinger held closer together like your squeezing something tiny and pathetic is already taken for the Harley riders and all those in monster Chev trucks

[alanzs]

Maybe KB'ers could have a little rainbow coloured triangle so they could tell who is part of the club. Oh, that's already taken. :Pokey:

[Dani-D]

Middle finger held up prominently. Meets the needs for most occasions.

You mean like this?

Yeah, exactly. I removed it from my previous post, as I didn't want to offend anyone. That's a first for me... :hug: Whats a KB'er look like anyways? Tap your head with both hands is the real man's way to do it. BWAHAHAHAHAHAA

[Quasievil]

Nah because I dont have a road bike anymore, only a race bike. But when I did have a road bike I didnt give a toss about the wave thingy

Anyway, whos cranky, I full of love to give

Lol that was hilarious.

I was thinking... why don't we just go for a standard salute??? I mean... no one bothers to do that normall and it's not too crazy either.

I don't see anything wrong with a standard salute? Just that casual version of the military style salute with a flick away.

I'd personally really like to be able to say hi to KB'ers... Once we have it sorted can we make a sticky with whatever the greeting will finally be ?

[Squiggles]

Close your fist, then extend your middle and index finger, pull the thumb back, then with the two fingers outwards, raise to your temple, making sure to point them at it. Then proceed to shake your wrist in the vertical plane....

Howzat?

What the f*ck are you riding , no-one will see you with a riding position like that, no matter what u do , I`d be more concerned about riding behind you.:sick::puke:


As for the wave thingy , Maybe all Kbers` be implanted with a chip that alerts another Kber when they are within a 150km radius of them and then they can ready themselves for the wave from hell(arms waving , legs kicking ,head nodding ) Worth thinking about.

well what you do see, is loosten your belt as your coming up to them, then as you pass them, DROP IT!

if they do it back, try to get their knee down, or attempt a wheelie, their probably KB, if they just look the other way then their probably just scared.

Its an 07 Royal Dalton special. Its got the low profile tank, the dual flush, heated seat and its damn fast.

[jtzzr]

Is the seat the flip-top model?. Enough of the toilet humour.

Oh no no that won't do at all. So 19th...er...17th century. The match would keep blowing out before the rocket lit. Get with the program Ix. Are we not modern hard edged bikers?? :headbang:

Aldis lamps are the ideal solution.

Set it up beside the radar detector, swivel stem so you can signal behind you - perfect. :clap:

[<Rhino>]

What about a good old queenie wave, you no the one, little hand, all fingers extended, tiny little wiggle hardly worth the effort. looking down your nose like you think your better than everyone else. :rofl:

[CHOPPA]

haha i was thinkin about that a while back i thought if everyone put there kb name in a pre determined colour on there screen or something, there will be a signwriter on here that could do everyone a deal for like $5 each you might only see a blur but you would see a bright sticker even if it were small

It might even help pay for the server!

[Slyer]

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/index.php?page=stickers
Yes?

[Dani-D]

Seen those out and about!

Bit hard to see at full noise, but then again everythings a dirty blur for me at that speed. What with all the bugs I've tried and failed to wipe off the visor, the tears in my eyes from the air getting inside, the fact I can't see over the filthy screen because I'm too short and trying to keep my hair out of the wind to avoid tangles.:rolleyes:

Do they come in red/black?

[Brett]

We could:

a) Use morse code with our headlights as we approach another biker, if they code flash us back, we know that they are friendly visitors to our local patch.

b) We could sign them in sign language asking whether they belong to a brotherhood of e-friends know as Kiwibiker, and if so, please sign back what is their login name.

I just always assume that when out riding, the guy who lowsided into a ditch on his hysosung 250 trying to keep up with the guy in front must be a KB.:Pokey:

[mctshirt]

Make a cross with your forearms like on Aussie Deal Or No Deal - that'll sort the men from the boys :niceone:

[Slyer]

The thing is that the wave needs to still be acceptable as a wave to someone who isn't a kiwibiker.

[Okey Dokey]

But how to avoid noobs who aren't kbers copying the wave, thinking that this is just what bikers do.....

Oh, the humanity...

[paulmac]

F*** !! Just wave to all bikes you pass - or is that too easy ?

Nice boots though. Very shiny. Good for kicking people.

[portokiwi]

:rolleyes: So let me get this right.... When we pass another bike,
We flash our light,
wave first
then touch our helmet and nod like crazy
then cross our arms as in NO DEAL
and as they go past we give the sighell and one finger,
when they are past us we do the alian hand signals.
:niceone: Cool :clap:

[vifferman]

After months of waving to everyone on two wheels (apart from bicyclists, and including three cops), and getting nary a response, I've given up waving.
So, if you see someone on a blue bike, who doesn't wave, that's either me, or some other grumpy koont on a blue bike.
That's assuming I ever get to ride again... 44 days so far dammit! :weep:

Meh!
I went away on vacation for 4.5 weeks or thereabouts. Before we went, my wife resigned from her job, and relinquished her carpark for the three weeks that remained (i.e., till the end of next week), to save money. So, I'm chauffeuring her to work everyday, in her car. She offered to ride pillion on the bike today, so I could ride it, but then #2Son decided he'd get some free transport after all, so I had to take the car again.
With the possible exception of when I wrote off my VFR750, this may be the longest I've not ridden a bike in a very long time. (The next longest would be when I was being sent to Perth all the time, in 1999/2000, but the longest contiguous period was four weeks).
Be alright if I was given a prize for not riding...
Oh - and in case you're asking yourself why I don't ride in the weekend, there's been only one (1!) available since we came home, and I was doing chores the whole weekend!
I can't go on the ATNR tonight (apart from the fact I'd either go mad and lose my licence, or bin it) because I have to stay home, feed the troops, that sort of thing.

Sad story, innit? :rolleyes:
Sorry you asked?

[ManDownUnder]

Rather than a specific wave, I ride with the KB patch on my right should so oncoming traffic sees it. Sometimes works, sometimes not.

[Qkchk]

WTF!
Of course it matters!
They are just being rude obnoxious arseholes if they don't.


You should post their rego on KB to name and shame them.

[Swoop]

Sad story, innit? :rolleyes:
Sorry you asked?
Bugger.
I guess it has been cleaned and made meticulous, of an evening?

If you can't ride, then tinker.
Polishing a bike counts, I hope!
