I absolutely love the whole nod/smile/horn thing. I think I'll give it a whirl, and add a wink of the eye too. Who knows, it just might be the charm that's needed. I'll let you know the results,

Nod and smile at everybody including the Harleys; if you do it often enough
they'll learn and smile back.? If they're really trying too hard to be cool, jump up and down waving and sounding the horn :-)

Perhaps you should have a scooter as a second bike - it sounds fun.? And you could get the biggest possible "My other bike's a Harley" sticker for it....

Subject: [W650riders] scooter
I've just come back from my first scooter ride as going back to work tomorrow after the accident. It's fantastic, when I came back I couldn't believe I found it difficult the first 5 minutes in my street here, it's great. And accelerates better than a geared 125 from memory but that might have been me at the time :-)
I find myself thinking if I dont have to do anything else but no that's it just brake and off again. No checking for neutral no nothing.
I managed to get a nod of 1 proper biker (cruiser) not sure if the guy recognised me but i know him from commuting in the morning. For the rest i saw loads of harleys who of course i didn't nod at, and then came the difficult bit there were other scooters, what do i do now, nod? at a scooter?? have managed
it once ( a nice vespa) but nothing came back my way. Maybe it's not such a friendly community.
I think there's luggage space for 5 rucksacks instead of 1!
