I always make a point of nodding to them. Generally, they nod back although I must have seen some grumpy ones lately - maybe they didn't like the dark visor!
Yeah ~I felt that the other day when i saw one thru ascot
...half expecting him to do a "U ey" and 'ave a word about the pipe and Visor and ask if i was taking the pi$$ by nodding
Two recent examples of police bikers - both good!
1) Travelling along a 50 mph NSL at closer to 70, next set of lights pulls next to me and advises me of the speed limit. No shouting, no sarcasm, no power trip, no problem!
2) Sitting next to BMW rider, with police bike sitting behind us, myself and BM rider discuss who is going to be brave enough to filter down the wrong side of (an empty) road with him behind us - as everyone does every other night. We both bottle it and sit tight, lights change and I let police bike come along side me. I ask him if he will "nick me" if I filter down the outside. His answer is that if he was on his own bike, he would be following me, but can't be seen to be doing it on duty! Again no problems.
