Here's are some hand signals given by Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ for communicating with other motorcyclists: * To oncoming bikers: Hand palm down, fingers undulating below: squid alert! * To bikers with you: Pointing frantically down at something on own bike: there's something wrong on your bike, pull over and take a look! * Hand slicing across neck: shut your engine off so we can talk. * Arm straight down, palm facing backwards: stop: I need to pee. * Point to mouth: I'm hungry; let's eat. * Point to gas tank: I need to get gas. * Hand on helmet: Cops ahead. Left arm extended stright out 90 degrees from body means turning left or merging left. Left arm extended out and bent up at elbow means turning right or merging right. Left arm pointing down palm facing back means slowing or stopping.
