Default should we flash???

this is summit i noticed, bikers all nod their head at each other when they drive past each other on the roads, a sort of little recognition to each other because they both have bikes and are in a sense in a little click / club, well we are exactly the same and you dont see that many rs's or cozzys about generally , so, when we see one shall we flash each other? get a sort of recognition thing going???

waddya reckon??? sad or cool???

Cool!

I virtually always flash other RS's and similar Ford cars, most people give me the thumbs up or a flash, some aren't so friendly though!

I remember years ago when I first got into RS's and stuff on the way to shows you used to always see other RS's and you'd have a bit play with them on the motorway, you'd always get a thumbs up when you went past even seeing ppl go past on the other side of the road.

Dunno if it's just times have changed and nobody is friendly anymore so they just growl at other RS owners and give them the one finger salute Only speaking from personal experience here mind, or maybe it's just me that they didn't like pmsl.

Anyway from now on Carl I'll make sure that when I see you not only will I flash and wave and give the thumbs up but I'll also get my tits out for good measure........ how does that sound





















Pmsl laughing when Scott reads this, sowwy honey

SAD!!!

I ride bikes and I never wave or nod at other bikers....I drive a Ford escort as well, shall I start waving at every old fart driving one too then?!

It actually annoys me when these leathered up old gits on crap Jap-harleys and the like wave at me so I tend to give them the finger....waving is for people wanting to be part of a club so desperatly but fail to belong so miserable
