    Hey all.
    Just woundering how many hand signs riders use. I know of one; patting the top of your head/helmit = police/highway patrol ahead. Are their any others that people use ?

    Does the single-digit salute count?

    We often use a foot to signal a road hazard like gravel or a pothole.

    I like it. I'll probably remember about two of those if you include the last one...

    Hazards

    I mostly try to point out hazards with my hand. Oftentimes people will wave me past as I will them if I/they want to go faster.

    new hand signal

    With one hand pat head (as in "police up ahead"), with the other hand rub tummy (as in "yummy").

    It means "Donut shop".

    It just makes sense doesn't it!

    You'll need cruise control of some sort for this one, and I take no responsibility for your accident.
