[QUOTE="OrangevaleFJR, post: 181243, member: 548"] In order to keep this thread as useful as possible, I will edit this original message with updates that are both valuable (and serious). If you find a hand signal reference that you think I should include with this original thread, please let me know via a Private Message (PM). Take note, there seem to be signals that are counter to what many would consider safe riding. The two most obvious signals I can see are the signals for Speed Up and the other for Tighten Formation. In group riding, if the leader speeds up that is his choice, but ride your own ride. If you want to speed up to, that's up to you. Also, in group riding, adequate spacing is just as important for bikes as it is for cars. There should be approximately 3 seconds between bikes in ideal situations. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend the use of those two signals. For group rides: [URL="https://www.ridemyown.com/articles/safety/handsignals.shtml"]Motorcycle Hand Signals[/URL] Also: [URL="https://www.willowcreek.org/motorcycle/hand_signals.htm"]Additional signals to be used[/URL] Add these signals that are not displayed: 1) Foot off peg means a road hazard on the side of the foot off peg 2) Tapping the helmet means LEO's in vicinity (coppers) [/QUOTE]
