Left Turn:
This signal is also very important if you do not have blinkers.
For letting the group know you are turning left. The signal
can be used to break from or to lead the group, depending on
whether you are leading or following. Make the signal by
extending your left arm straight out with your palm facing
down.
Right Turn:
This signal is also very important if you do not have blinkers.
Since motorcyclists control their speed with the throttle in
their right hand, this signal is done with the left hand. If
motorcyclist try to signal with their right hand, they can slow
down and cause a potential hazard on the road. Let the
group know you are turning right. Use this signal to lead or
to break from the group, depending on your status in the
group (leading or following). Bend your elbow 90 degrees,
then point your clenched fist at the sky to complete the
signal.
Stop:
When the leader of the group makes the "stop" signal, it
should cause a chain reaction going all the way back to the
last rider in the group. Make the signal by bending your arm
90 degree, keeping your palm open, and pointing your
fingers down at the road.
Speed up:
Inexperienced groups will benefit most from this signal.
Experienced groups rely more on body language. Use it to
tell the rest of the group to match your pace by increasing
their speed. Extend your arm and swing your palm in an
upward direction to give the signal.
