Hey all

just a thought after reading the "do you nod thread" being a new rider i have found the thread some what helpfull to help understand biker hand signals i.e thumbs down etc, so what about a sticky thread with a list of signals we all use?
If not then some people please tell me some more so if i do see someone waving or kicking the air i'll have a better chance of understanding!

The one that made me laugh was when a guy in a car heading towards me flashed (his lights,not his ass

) then put his hand on his head and made sock-puppet gestures.

At the time it looked hilarious but looking back i think he meant there was police back that way.Never did see any police tho

I've got one, It involves clenching the fist and waving it side to side.

I think the 'copper is about' one that made me laugh was the disco one. Like trying to draw a circle in the air? I think it was trying to show the 'revolving light' and I knew exactly what the guy meant but I was cracked right up...

He was doing the old classic ' Nic Nic' symbol from that washed up has been comic who used to be funny in the eighties, Jim Davidson.

Have considered using that one myself, but didn't know if I was the only one who remembered him

Is this normally reserved for chavs on scooters?

I usually pat the air down-over, as to say slow down if theres something ahead like police.
