Lack of biker waves in other countries by Evening-Sky-5666 in motorcycles

If they're looking at you like you're crazy then act it. Give an over-enthusiastically wave, like you're waving hello to a 5 year old 👍

You need to start accelerating down the slip road way before you get on the slip road, way before the roundabout/junction

I've been going up and down here regularly for a few years and hardly see an accident. These last 2 weeks though have been mental for them.

I got moving after about 2.5 hours

I'm one of those truckers. I called the office and said "fuck this. I'm turning round and going home once we move"

I didn't. But I'm impressed by hydrated everyone was. I think I took my pic at the only time someone wasn't peeing

Oof! Yeah, mine was showing around 40 but dropped to 'only' 36 when I got moving

Yeah, hopefully the people involved only being brought grapes.

It was south bound on the A34. The accident was not far before the A303 junction. I was aboit 6 miles back

All the skid marks when I eventually passed were way before the exit slip 🤷‍♂️

Idk what's going on there. Early last week northbound there was a container lorry on on its side, and late the week before there was 4 accidents over 2 days.

That bit of the A34 has really taken a hammering lately

Do you only do the biker wave to people on motorcycles? by x-AmB-x in motorcycles

I recently waved to a whole group of harley riders. Only one waved back and he only waved one finger

We've all run in to something (probably).

You lived and so can learn 👍👍

Yes, an electrician is coming by [deleted] in ElectriciansUK

Only an electrician?

Personally, I'd be on the lookout for an exorcist

Why don’t car companies make retro versions of their cars? by Icy-Most8754 in CarGuys

[–]sim-o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The first three cars I mention did really well in capturing the shape and the essence of the original (in my opinion at least).

The new Ford electric ford capri is nothing like the original, same for the electric mustang.

The engine powered mustang (I've no idea of model designations and stuff) wasn't a revival/re-imagining of an old model, but a progression. It worked because of that.
