I’ve heard a few people saying gs riders don’t get nods, I’m onto my 4th gs and always get nodded with the obvious exception of the Hardley Movingson riders. Is it just me or do most Harley riders appear to ride like they are sat on a 12 inch sex toy?

Amen to that...to cool for school and nodding to GS owners! They might not even see you with all those vibrations going on...
That or their eyes are watering as their open face lids and cool shades plus compulsory skull motif neckerchief wound around their face do sweet fanny all to protect them. Then there's the chaps (and I don't mean "blokes"). uggggh! It's at this point I confess to having owned a 1200 custom until I saw sense (and really because it was sh1t). To fair, I never dressed like a tosser though and did nod at GS riders who inevitably ignored me. I was the Ronnie Corbet then to their John Cleese with Vstrom riders being the Ronny Barkers in the middle. Now I can look down on them but still nod
:
I never get a nod off the KTM crew , but then again I would need to look in my mirror to see it , as it would be more like a wanker sign as they pondered what had just happened....

I was out today, my first ride over 50 miles on the GS & noticed the lack of nodding back, been around 6 years since I was on a bike, I just thought it was another society things, too cool to wave or nod, never thought it could have to do with riding a GS.

It's funny you should ask this because I was up in Lancashire last weekend riding some fantastic roads and found the lack of nodding quite startling. I did get some nods but largely, was ignored. It was only when I got home I realised that despite seeing dozens of bikes on my outings, I didn't see one GS. I've never really believed that I don't get nods because I ride a GS but it's got me thinking.

Who gives a toss whether other bikermates wave or not, certainly not me. They've got feck all to be stuck up about especially if they ride KTM's or Harley's.
No you must have 2 arses lol
My wife says why do you nod , he could be a pedo , only when its orange tho , but she is an Albion fan 
At least the Low Rider S (assume that's what it is) is pretty cool. Borrowed one for a week. Went ok, good strong engine and sounded ace...stopping it and getting it to turn was another story! Still, imho it's Harley's best bike, or was until the M8 motors descended but they're not "real Harleys" as many Harley fans will attest to

Welcome to the family Pete (it's not a club)
Great post and in answer to your questions i'd say the following:
Great post and in answer to your questions i'd say the following:
- Do I have to wear a 2 piece BMW textile suit - Only if you want to be known as a proper Tosser! Personally, i prefer the Jeans and Leather jacket look with an open face lid wherever possible...
- Is it permissible to have no chicken strips on a GS - It's not permissible it's a requirement!!! Only then will you know the true meaning of GS ownership
- Will using my KTM tailback be scoffed at - Yes although it's not specific to KTM, any will do!
- Is it compulsory to be an advanced riding technique nerd - No, but if you have no chicken strips it may help
- Do I have to hang out with other GS's and snub all other bikes - Only when actually riding it - no one else will be able to keep up!
- Will i ever get off it - Unlikely

Maybe we just like riding bikes more than your average biker and appreciate the difference between modern techno bikes and old school no tech bikes, it does make a nice change to take out the Harley.
