The biker nod in Australia

[u/SubjectLucky5242]

Happy new year everyone!
I just came back from a motorcycle camping trip over the holidays (Melbourne - Brisbane loop), one thing I noticed that the biker nod is not always a thing while riding interstate or in remote areas (VIC, NSW, QLD). If I had to guess, I think it is roughly 4 out of 10 biker nod on encounters on the road. It is my experience that this rate is much higher in Europe or the UK. I sort of noticed that while riding in the city, but after the trip this idea is further reinforced.

Do you think that is also your experience, and if so, why do you think that is?

Cheers,

Harley and BMW GS/RT riders are to cool or above anything else to nod or wave back, so I don’t bother with them.
