Signs

[danielw2599]

Hi all,

Just looked through the fights and flame wars and found a post about how some riders don't nod, and someone suggested it may be because the riders doesn't know what it means. Now i'm relatively new to biking but the nod to me is fairly obvious. Is there any other signs that bikers use to communicate with other bikers they pass on the road?


O.T: Got my bike Re-stricted today and its damn slow only just pulls 80mph. How am i going too cope with this for 2 years?

Thanks

Dan

You don't have to cope with it for 2 years dan. Take them out and keep your fingers crossed you don't get caught.

One some of the local bikes around us use to warn of police watching the favourite roundabout spot is to wave one hand above your head in a circular motion, like a flashing light.

Well, it doesn't flash and its not blue, but it gets the message across.

I think the whole bike community thing is great. You always know that if you get into trouble that most bikers will pull over and offer a hand. Plus letting you out at junctions and stuff.

In france they stick a leg out which I found a bit strange to start with. :? But I do not suppose you will be taking a restricted bike that far !.

I usually give a big thumbs down if I see a police speedtrap

I also try and signal if someone has left their indicator on my kind of flashing my hand and pointing at my indicators.

the flat palm waved up and down is the accepted symbol for slow down, can mean a hazard ahead or a dirty copper hiding behind the next bush.

I have actual been saved from getting caught speeding by a friendly van driver doing this.

hi everyone,

Thanks for your replys, ill keep them in mind. As for taking out my restrictors, don't really want to risk it at the moment (that will soon change ).

One other question... If im going flat out along a motorway or something and the restrictors sudenly "Fell Out", would i get a suden shot of power causing me to become unbalanced?

Thanks again

Dan
