OK I had a rider pull next to me at a stop light then zoom ahead as I was having someone follow me to a gas station and couldn't get to his speed without losing the old folks that asked me for directions, then I had a biker who I didn't know in front of me and one behind me at the same time and we rode staggered formation with no signals the two rode right of the lane and I rode left. IDK if these guys jsut thought I was an idiot for riding in the left lane seeming I was the only one doing it or if this is what they expected because there was 3 of us, but it felt to me like the right thing to do even though I was closest to oncoming traffic. As for signals I have nothing to add to that for I haven't seen any except for the waves.

also if you have another rider following you and you are not sure what he wants or expects: 1. Pull over in the nearest gas station 2. go into restroom 3. wait for him to come in and use the stall or urinal next to you 4. gently tap his foot with yours under the stall or urinal divider 5. ????? 6. PROFIT

But seriously anyone else know what im talkin about. Like to turn left with your signal u use closed fist arm out , and for right closed fist and bend your elbow 90*. Hand tap on head for 5.0. besides waves and nods are there any informal bike gestures, im sure there are, i think bikers were trying to communicate with me but im still a noob. Like driving down main street on bike night is awesome, i never really stop, i hate the outside atmosphere around bars, to much smoke and ****. But its nice when im driving home from class at night and theres a about 1/2 stretch of bikers there acknowleding you. i would love to stop by one night and talk about the bikes but i dont know anyone else who rides, think it would be wierd going, or parking next to a place your not supposed to park at, like are their actual bike gangs and **** like that?

Unspoken rules of the road?
Super secret biker signals? Wutang clan gang signs? Common hand signals? Sign language? http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/signaling.htm http://www.whale.to/b/hand.html http://www.lefande.com/hands.html Any who bro, I think you are just a bit confused, I don't think there is "baseball-like" hand signals for bikes. The ones you mention are UNIVERSAL hand signals for traffic

As far as Hello to a fellow biker, usually left hand down palm flat or hand extended out in a peace sign or standard Howdy wave.
As far as signals to other cyclists, the only guide I've seen is the MSF PDF on group ride signals. Here's the link: MSF Quick Guide Group Signals

When I started riding (again) 3 years ago I had a vulcan 500. Went thru an intersection and some guy on a 1000 crotch rocket joined me going 60. He pulled up along beside me in the same lane and waved with his right hand... I suppose this was the signal for "I have a throttle lock". Suddenly he downshifted and took off like a bat out of hell, easily getting to 120 within 1/4 mile of me. Turns out he was really just waving BYE.

Thanks for the thread merge and for the charts, (those were a good refresher) but that is not what im talking about, im looking for more of the non-official stuff we see everyday. Kind of like form the thread here. if i can figure out that word to describe it, like urban dictionary but for motorcycle gestures and what not. The video i quoted is more so what im talkin about but actually serious. I guess there arent any. Also, does anyone use or should i use the left/right hand signals along with my lights?

Anyone remember the 'Hello Kitty Wave'? I think it was from motorcycleforum, IIRC.
