I can do, although I'll not post scores, just what letters have been covered by whome

Standings list added to the first post in the actual competition thread!

I don't see how the 'Nod' challenge is actually going to work. Because usually when you nod, you both nod at the same time therefore it will be hard to recognise the other party nodding, due to the motion of your own nod.

And some of us don't have a dual camera setup.. :/

I was wondering that too. Even with a wave, you really got to slow the video down.

Perhaps shifting the camera to a mount on the bike aimed in the general direction of where the other rider might be. Shoot on Superview or wide. Then zoom in on editing to catch their response?

Maybe someone else has an idea...

Yeah, I was thinking something similar, you'd need a dual cam setup tho, mount them to the bars one facing you, the other opposite road lane

Shoot I forgot about capturing your nod. Maybe using a cellphone camera to capture your nod. Since the cell will be on the bars and closer then resolution would not be too bad.

I'll probably just leave my setup alone and see how i get on i guess

Everyone is in the same boat, mostly.

Don't forget, you can think laterally as well as literally to make your video stand out and get extra bonus points, especially if its funny.

Wurd I cant wait! I think I'm with everyone else, the nod thing may be the most difficult because of these big US highways. It just means we'll all have to be more creative

 

[Hippo-Drones]

Just be enthusiastic, don't worry about folk judging you, you is better than those that care!

Yeah, this challenge isn't the hardest to do but will be the hardest to 'judge' I've watched all my nods back and i know damn well they nodded back at me but you can't really see it on the camera... :/

I tell you h'wut, the bloody nod is dead in my parts at the moment.

2 outings and barely a nod. I'm going to have to hit up a non harley rider area to get it done

That is strange. Harley snobbery is horrible. One of the newest members of the HOG chapter I belong too has an antique Harley but does group rides on his BMW. He loves that we don't have that holier than tho to other bikes.

You could always try flashing your naughty bits.

 

[Lurch]

You won't get many nods from BMW GS owners over here. Too busy pretending it's the Long Way Round.

 

[lupin]

I get it that Harley riders don't nod. Afterall there using all their mental power to prevent a death wobble.
