    We "nod" because we drive on the left and the right hand is not free because of the throttle. When you drive on the right the left hand is free to acknowledge.

    I think UK bikers nod more often than wave because we drive on the left so in order to wave, we either have to take our hand off the throttle or use our left hand and wave across our body.
    Other countries can just lift their left hand off the handle bar a little to wave at each other quickly and safely we cant.

    The head nod greeting is partly because in UK we can't do the low wave as in Europe because it would mean taking your hand off the throttle.

    Speaking as an old Brit biker, I used to love riding some of the wonderful peaceful areas of UK either solo or with a few friends...this was in the mid sixties and into the seventies... UK has become more congested now but its still possible to find a nice peaceful country road. I now live in Spain where I have to say the road surfaces are superior, plus there are great many country roads where one hardly encounters a car or truck...Because we ride on the right we are free to wave...acknowlige other Bikers...So its truly a brotherhood...

    Hi Marc. I'm just back from a tour of the beautiful Black Forest and beyond. Made me laugh seeing you land in Harwich, my current home town, and then head for Belvoir Castle (pronounced Beaver), my original home town. I've toured a lot of the UK and Ireland - here's a couple of places I wouldn't want to miss. York, Yorkshire Dale's (Hawes), road from Mallaig to Fort William in Scotland, Devils Bridge/Elan Valley in Wales, a ride over Exmoor, Cork in Ireland (make sure you give yourself a couple of days), Lake Windermere (very busy with tourists), Surprise View in Keswick, Hardknott Pass (said to be most difficult in England), Glencoe Pass, Bettyhill, Cotswolds National Park, and Doolin Cave. I could probably do another 50 but they're definitely some of the best!

    Hi Marc, I enjoyed that, so weird to watch an E-bike. Thanks for your kind words about riding in the UK it is enjoyable, not perfect by a long shot, one tip is-to Embrace the weather, my favourite rides are through Snowdonia in the piss pouring rain, the mountains and roads come alive. You get soaked through so wouldn't recommend it on a tour but I hope the weather is kind to you. I guess there are more of your vids I need to watch, very good editing and camera work, the drone work especially, Beaver Castle looks nice

As soon as I did I recognised the bike and the helmet, I was going to write a comment saying "Hi, I think I met you the other day", I kept watching......until 3:15 where......I appear in the video saying hello!!!!!! A little freaked out by that, is TH-cam doing some crazy facial rec technology to recommend me videos I appear in or is it complete chance? Either way, nice surprise for a Saturday morning.

    "You're fast too." I love the relationship you have with your bike 😊 Beautifully edited with the drone shots. But I feel your pain about sticking to the left.

It's kind of scary how much you forget when you don't use it every day.

    I'm Welsh so British and it's lethal to ride a bike basically treat every road user like they r trying to kill you and you will be safe 👍

      Lethal? I don’t agree…it definitely requires attention but, the joy outweighs the negatives.

    I visited my great aunt living in Wedgewood in some kind of post-war flat. Coming from North America, I was a little surprised at the retrofitted nature of some of the appliances. There was an electric water heater in the shower. Her husband was a London taxi driver with a map in his head.

      I have had individual shower heaters in each bathroom for over 40 years. Pretty economical, easy to repair/replace, no hot-water plumbing (mixer taps).no waiting and wasting for cold water to flush out.

    Quite a change from the Dominator to a Zero! I had a demo ride of a SR/S in the summer and loved it, would 100% have one in my "dream bike" garage as my daily driver - my commute is 30 mins of highway so it'd be perfect tbh.

    Tolles Video Marc, da wäre ich gerne mit meiner DSR dabei gewesen. Die ICE Bike Fahrer können sich nicht im Ansatz vorstellen wie es sich anfühlt wenn ein Motorrad bergauf oder ab immer genau "richtig" ist. Möchte meine 17er DSR gerne verkaufen und auf die DSR/X umsteigen, jedoch trauen sich nur wenige nach einer Probefahrt zu fragen. Dir weiterhin gute und sichere Fahrt.

    The nod of the head is because you are riding on the left hand side of the road, so your leading hand closest to the opposite rider is your throttle hand. Raising your throttle hand to wave sucks, so a polite nod of the head will do .... that is how it works in South Africa where we also ride on the left side of the road (That would be the CORRECT side of the road :P).

    It’s great watching your journey so far Mark. I’m sure you’ve already worked out that roundabouts are the other way round i.e. to the left, l have to admire your confidence nothing seems to faze you while traveling through different country’s.
    When you see other riders the one’s riding sport bikes like me you side nod as on sport bikes your leaning forward so it’s difficult to nod from this position, Harley riders mostly only acknowledge each other so we don’t nod to them as a rule, but it’s up to you.
