RE: Stop light etiquette...what the hell do you do???
Just go on with life. When I was a rookie cop I suffered the same "fishbowl' effect. Wasn't long before I was picking my nose and not giving a crap about what anybody thinks.
RE: Stop light etiquette...what the hell do you do???
I look at the light and do not look from side to side. Ocaisionally someone gives me
a thumbs up and yells nice bike, so I wave or acknowlegde them but I normally
stare straight aheadand in my mirrors until the light changes.

Alright, every time I come to a stop light I feel eyes all over me. I thought I might be experiencing some sort of dementia from too much oxygen from the ride, alas it was not true. When I stop and start looking around everyone is staring[:@]. Dudes, chicks, kids, grannies and all...Most of the time when I make eye contact back they turn like their embarrassed or scared. Some give a head nod, some smile, some roll down the window and try to talk. I often just keep my eyes straight forward as to not make others uncomfortable around me...I never experienced this sort of behavior on my other bikes it wasn't until I got a Harley.
Is there some sort of stop light etiquette that I am not aware of?
What do you do at a stop light? How do you handle the looky lues? Letâs hear your stories...
