    Default Universal Hand Signals for all riders *REVISED*

    START ENGINES
    With your right or left arm extended, move your index finger in a circular motion.

    LEFT TURN
    Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow fully extended.

    RIGHT TURN
    Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow bent 90 degrees vertically.


    HAZARD LEFT
    Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle and point towards the hazard.

    HAZARD RIGHT
    Extend your right arm at a 45 degree angle and point towards the hazard.

    NOTE** this one i really dont buy into , its also acceptable to kick your right leg out as if indicating loose gravel or any type signal that would idicate something on the right side. Kicking Left also works





    SPEED UP
    Raise your left arm up and down with your index finger extended upward. This indicates the leader wants to speed up.
    NOTE** A thumbs up above shoulder level is also an acceptable sign , however that thumbs up below shoulder level is an indication from the leader/road captain/ whoever is in the front that it is OK to pass ... CROSSING THE YELLOW IS NOT RECOMMENDED ,BUT USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT WHEN CONSIDERING THAT ACTION


    SLOW DOWN
    Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle and move your hand up and down. Kinda like your gonna pet a dog , small animal , or your girlfriend while giving you head ... Do Not Curl your fingers like your playing with her hair


    STOP
    Extend your left arm at a 45 degree angle with the palm of your hand facing rearward.


    SINGLE FILE
    Position your left hand over your helmet with your fingers extended upward. This indicates the leader wants the group in a single file formation. Usually this is done for safety reasons.
    *note this can also be down similiar to the speed up signal , but finger up and no hand movement.



    STAGGERED or SIDE-BY-SIDE FORMATION
    Extend your left arm upward at a 45 degree angle with your index and pinkie finger extended. This indicate that it is safe to return to staggered formation. Depending on which group you ride with a sigh similiar to the Peace Sign can also idicate Stagger/Side By Side/ or Two Lines




    TIGHTEN UP
    Raise your left arm and repeatedly move up and down in a pulling motion. This indicates the leader wants the group to close ranks.


    I Love You / Hi Squid / I might be angry at you/ Dude WTF /Get off your celphone
    Extend your left arm straight out with your elbow bent 90 degrees. Carefully extend your middle finger to clearly demonstrate your dissatisfaction with the other guy. *** It is not recommended you do this when you are alone.***


    DEBRIS/GRAVEL/HAZARD
    Kick out your leg enough to indicate your leg is off the rearset as you notify following riders of an upcoming hazard


    LOW FUEL
    Make a gesture pointing at your tank from the side so following riders know your fuel light has come on.


    DAMN LOOK AT THAT ASS
    Make a gesture like your attempting grab a female ass. This will indicate to follow riders that you just found you ms.new booty. It is also a good idea to point at the direction of the chick with the assets so other riders dont have to search as much


    I LOVE BONELESS BREAST(S)
    Hand up , make a gesture as if you were standing infront of a woman with big boobs and you were groping one of the twins. Dont forget to point in her direction to make sure other riders dont miss out.





    and another picture to cover everything else








    DON'T KNOW
    The hand is in a fist out to the side with the palm up. It moves about six (6) inches and opens up as moving up. (may hunch shoulders)

    The less appropriate version


    Youch!- Shouldn't have had that chili at the reststop!


    Hey Asshole! - it's my light, you fucker, get your ass through the intersection!


    Hey There! - glad to see a fellow Brother of the Order of Two Wheels


    Fuck You! - and stay the hell off your cell phone!


    Spank your kids! - or leave them at home if they can't behave in the back seat!



    Back off! - I've got two spark plugs -- you only have one windshield


    Hey, Baby! - Wanna play some grab-ass?


    See This? - It's at least twice as big as yours.


    Get back in your own lane - or I'll kick the shit out of your door!


    Slow Down - Cops Ahead!


    You wanna go? - I'll take on the whole cage load of you mother fuckers


    That's it - Watch for flying spark plugs!


    Get off the road! - Where did you get your license, a box of fucking cracker jacks?

    What's the "Holy fuck there's a Deer up ahead" signal?
