Title: FOC-U Salutes pics
Post by: Kosmic Kartman on 27 January 2013, 09:48:10 pm
Seeing Deadeye's pic in Meets section gave me an idea.

Pictures of your FOC-U salutes.

Here's one that Tori took of me and Roger.

Here's the front page banner from the Hampshire Bikers' forums taken on a ride-out last year.

This has been puzzling me. How did the fist-to-head salute come about, and what does it signify (if anything)?

I think it just came to be from the old school forum members :P


This thread is however a fantastic idea ^^

Agreed. But Exup, you and I share the credit, OK?  :lol

 :agree with Dead Eye: it was from a topic - someone suggested a unique sign so that when riding we could identify fellow foccers. The idea is to do the salute whenever you see an approaching Fazer.

maybe the banner could be adapted to show a cartoon of the Foc-u salute?.. just an idea!

Or we could stage a contest whereby the picture of the best Foc-U salute(s) IS the banner for a month. Jus' a thought.

Nice idea, Robbie!

 care for a bit more imput ? I have a vauge recollection of the events as it was a long long time ago I know you've been about for a long time as well
 
Im hoping you have a better memory of event than me ?
 
 I can remember a thread about it , but cant find it as I think it was pre yuku boards ' but the more I think about it , I seem to remember it MIGHT of had something to do with a fazer socail ? and the thread was because of the meet and discussions that went on there
 
 I wasnt at the meet maybe you were ?
 
were we on pro-boards before yuku ?

Ok not a foc-u salute pic but a foc-u salute tribute.


Stopped off at llandovery on the way home from a nice ride out,was standing at the junction when suddenly a foxeye turned up! :eek


So i threw up the foc-u salute!.....the poor bloke started looking about the place wondering what the foc i was up to, I pointed at the fazer, he then started looking at the bike, the poor focer  clearly didnt know what i was on about, i laughed, he rode off....& yes I do feel bad about it...& i hope he sees the funny side when he finally learns about the focer salute.


P.s i also threw up the salute to 2 possibly 3 other fazers along the way on my run but those new fazers are hard to spot, you cant miss a good old box eye though! :b

Chris, i couldn't help but notice that in your photo it looks like David Beckham is on your bike.
I've no doubt that inside the lid there's a ginger beard and an afro lurking under cover.........just saying though.  :lol :lol :lol

Well I can safely say I've never been compared to him before... haha. There is indeed a beard with ginger tinge, however no afro, sorry to disappoint. That's the horrible thing about wearing a helmet though, all you can see are the eyes and the 'tach... Makes me look like a creepy Spanish waiter or something... haha!
