In truth, it's less hassle to give everyone a nod than to have to check through some mental 'Nod/Don't Nod' Check list. Oh and remember, some folk think all us BMW riders are 'stuck-up' our own arses anyway. :shock:

Remember coming home from work last year in bright sunlight (naw, it wasn't really it was peeing down and quite dark). A Durham bike cop was out (best in the land) with a jet black visor - it must of been hell for him. I nodded and he nodded back but like I said, Durham bike cops have a very good reputation - I do still nod to the boys in blue tho

Don't scotish bike cop's get black visors issued for safety reasons?
i use a black visor on my Roof boxer and a dark tint on my Craft and would not go back to a clear visor [but i tend not to do many miles after dark but do often carry a pair of safety glasses] in winter a dark visor can be a life saver with the low sun wet roads

Sorry who do i nod to well i used to nod or wave to everyone but now only a few, power rangers tend to get a gesture rather than a nod or wave, anyone else well it depends what sort of mood i'm in if i'm in a good mood i will wave or nod to everyone if i'm in a bad mood no one
My bike shines when it rains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a photochromatic pinlock insert. Its brilliant.

Goes lightish blue in strong light, just enough to take the glare off.

+1 for nodding at all bike riders. I agree about being nice to learners too.
