    Most motorcycle hand signals are fairly intuitive, especially when combined with appropriate body language; however, new riders may be confused upon first seeing them. When proper signaling is crucial to safety, like during large group rides or track days, important hand signals should be communicated during a pre-ride meeting.

    DDFM, I’ve been riding since 1992 and I really appreciate finding someone explaining all the things I learned over time and through MSF courses and track riding. You are saving lives for those riders without a mentor. I live in California and I see all the mistakes riders make when it comes to lane splitting, straight pipes, running brights at night and all the things that give motorists a reason to dislike motorcycles. I’d love to see you detail out the safe way to ride in California if that is possible or some other ways to be safe but courteous to motorists as we want them looking out for us, not angry at us.
    PS. I was a Corpsman with the Marines and I always have a hard time not reacting immediately, even violently, to that right turn hand signal as it is the universal sign to stop in your tracks and go situationally aware as there is something happening ahead and to watch for the next hand signal in my other life. I tend to use a palm open instead for that reason.

    Right hand up in the air will let others know your off power. You’ll see this usually when someone falls and people stop to help. You might yourself stopped in the middle of the road with no brake lights on. Raise your throttle hand.

    I got learned the stop sign and the turn right sign, the other way around. When you have your fingers facing down with a ninety degree angle, you can replace the arm with a top-down view, and have a right corner. Also the fist facing up, is easier to see for people behind you, as you are pointing upwards, in stead of down.

    Good video. Hate to say I’ve not been on a group ride around the southern part of my state where hand signals or much organization is used. Some groups are great. Some groups are scary. Never had a pre-ride meeting - etc. I think I’ll watch this a few times. Might save it.

  • @pe11entesque

    Grew up in a boating environment so a lot of these are different. For boating, left turn and right turn are the same. Stop is left arm bent 90 degrees with clenched fist facing sky. Cut engine is left index finger or left thumb drawn quickly across throat. Speed up engine is left thumb repeatedly raising towards sky. Slow down engine is left thumb repeatedly pointing at ground. For trailers, when doing pre-travel light check, left blinker working is left index finger pointing downwards at 45 degree angle. Right blinker working is right index finger pointing downwards at 45 degree angle. Brake lights are both arms raised towards sky at 90 degree angle with both hands clenched in fist.

  • @Yamahog
    @Yamahog 2 роки тому

    Great info, Dan. It's important to remember that the road hazard hand signal is done in conjunction with flashing your tail brake light. Otherwise it just looks like someone giving an approaching rider a "low-five" greeting, same goes for most of the other hand gestures. A flashing brake light will get the attention of the rear riders, who should then pay heed to the lead riders instructions. Stay Safe.

    With my friends we ride close staggered or bar to bar so whoever is leading blips the throttle to let the rider next to them know we are switching lanes or to get their attention for a signal. Not saying its right or wrong thats just what we do when the person next to you can't see your hand signal and to make sure we move together. Great video!

  • @dannyquigley8961

    I was sitting still in the left turning lane at a stop light and another rider in the cross traffic heading in the direction that I would be turning into was sitting still waiting for the light to change. He did the tap on the helmet (cop ahead) and crossed his arms over his chest. When I looked to my left there was a cop car in the road and traffic was backed up.
    Anyone know what the arms crossed over the chest was?

    @GabrielGarcia-wg3iq 2 роки тому

    If I'm not mistaken I believe the head tap for cops ahead can get you in some trouble. EDIT: I looked it up and turns out it's protected under free speech but I have a feeling u will still get pulled over and receive a talking to.

    Better bet. Have a friend attach a Bluetooth headset to your helmet so they can help you with the signals while they happen. Such as being confused you can not only talk about dinner last night. You can also ask your buddy a question about the hand signal while it’s being made.
    Headsets are very important when riding if you aren’t used to them yet. As well as tricking your new friend into looking over there and kill switch them. He he

    Really stupid to use your foot for a signal if you are using saddle bags unless you have really long legs and big feet if you are going to ride with someone take the time before you move and get everyone on the same page with your singles or ask yourself do I really want these people behind me you can replace a bike or even some body parts but it is really hard to replace your life to someone you do not know
