so because you own the same bike and nod at a guy, he is then required to jump at the chance to talk to you?



I would have thought that with only 5 bikes (Americas - Speedmasters) sold throughout this country, a "nod" from someone would have at least solicited a "nod".
You obviously seem to think otherwise - fair enough.
I'm not sure I see where you got the "he is then required to jump at the chance to talk to me" notion from.
Nice of you to point it out, though.

if you were really that keen to talk maybe you should of


Without a reciprocated "nod" or a "hi" I wasn't inclined to start a conversation with a stranger. I don't know if you do things differently but that's my way.
Since I got neither, I focused on my GF and my surroundings.
He did however, make me LMAO as he was leaving (you know, the bicycle gloves, short pants etc.) so I guess that has to be worth something.
