Slow Down: This signal is useful because motorcycles generate intense engine-braking forces, which do not activate the rear-facing brake light. Extend your arm and swing your palm down toward the road to tell everyone in the group to slow down. Follow me: Used to announce a new, often self-appointed group leader. Also used to segment a large group into a smaller group. Make the signal by extending your arm forward at the shoulder with your palm facing outward. You Lead / Come: AKA the "YOU! Follow me!" signal: It has two distinct. Start by pulling up alongside the rider you want to follow or lead. In one motion, point to their bike and then swing your arm forward. Repeat this motion until the other rider understands. Fuel: When riding with most groups, running out of gas will earn you a nickname you probably won't like. Communicate your need to refuel by pointing to your fuel tank using your left index finger.
