Waving at other bikers

[Bluebottle]

on the euro thing, if you wave both legs at the same time does it mean your sexually provocative.

That's why all those truckers were following you through Belgium

I think you & Irev should give fair warning if you are going toNorthallerton - I go there rather often myself, and it would spoil it if I wasn't the only Maxi-scooterist in town!!!

I do believe it was Northallerton where I first tried Teesside's contribution to the culinary world...the Parmo! Since then I've seen it on the odd takeaway menu that come through the letterbox here in York so it's slowly taking over the world.

Yes...I having a Parmo for tea tonight! They are surprisingly nice, though I may not buy one from a dodgy takeaway in Middlesbrough!

Now if you'll excuse me I have material to source in York to make mudflaps for my push bike.

sod making them pound land for the win

I usually make mine from bits of black plastic plant pot as the material is pre-curved and easy to cut.

Ive seen a few MZs with plant pot mudflaps in the past, they work great.

Await Meldrew contribution...

I've posted a number of times I stopped waving years ago, and as for that Euro leg wave the first a German biker did that kicking his leg out when overtaking me on an autobahn years ago, I thought it meant "Fuck off with that piece of MZ shit!"

Anyway it's nice to know you've been up to Northallerton recently, it's one of my favourite North Yorkshire Market towns. As there's a Bettys in the High Street I have the occasional ride up there with Brubaker. ( he doesn't wave at bikers either. )

Will probably not be oop tha agin before Xmas - we've just moved the in-laws out of fookin' Jockland into a little Bungalow in Ainderby Steeple, close to 'er indoors Sister. She's actually up there this week moving them in, while I shirk family responsibilities and do all the cooking, cleaning and housework on holiday darn sarf.

No doubt get accused of spending all my time in front of the computer, pissing about talking to you lot when I'e actually done about 57 different things on my 'to do' list round the house.

Oh and to get back on topic, I've always proposed the leg waving as you don't want to know the number of numpties I've seen waving down through the years, then had to pick them up from the kitty litter or the bend they just failed to negotiate. OK I've spent a lot of time around learners, but there you go, safety first.

I'd therefore like to formally propose that we Maxis adopt the mucky foreigners habits and dangle a different limb to each other than our part-time motorcycling cousins, as it shows them we ain't bikers, and it may well deliver a lesson that serves them well. Oh and we actually have lots of spare leg time because their ancient contrivances are using Dickensian tech...

You know that's not bad idea!

[irev]

Well, I wouldn't want to suggest that waving is Pavlovian, while 'legging' shows forward thinking and deliberate intent, but...

What a good thread this has been - good light topic taken way off target but finds its way home. Unlike my Son who got lost today!!! Since when do we need to avoid low bridges?

[eric1789uk]

Not surprised really, after you asked me where we were.... and I, the guide had to think hard about it, mind you, that farm track as we left clumber must have made you think..... as for the thread, I'm a "nodder" normally get a response so its happy
