Double File: Bend your left arm at the elbow and point to the sky with your index and middle fingers. Do not forget to include your index finger. Comfort Stop: Poke your arm out to the left and shake your fist using short, up-and-down movements - as though shaking a can of paint. Make this stop only when the road or shoulder is debris-free and there is ample room to pull over. Refreshment Stop: Indicate your intention to stop at a gas station or restaurant. Make a "thumbs up" with your left hand and gesture toward your mouth (or the front of your helmet) as though your thumb is a straw poking up out of a glass of water. Turn Signal On: To make a "blinking" gesture using your left hand, alternate between extending your fingers and making a fist. Use this signal to let another rider know he left his blinker on, allowing him to save face during the next comfort or refreshment stop. Pull Off: Indicate to the rest of the group to pull off of the highway, either immediately or at the next exist. The pull off signal is given when the reason for the stop is something other than a comfort or refreshment stop.
