Been riding for a year now and I have been noticing some hand signals from other bikers.

Two fingers: saying whats up

Knocking on helmet: Cops

Any other experienced riders care to chime in?
 
thems the basics

hand palm down making a pat the dog on the head gesture = you may want to consider slowing down for some unforeseen hazard

If you do a quick search in General for "hand signals", you'll find about 15 threads... several of them have tons of good information.
Happy reading! :thumbup

Stand up on your pegs and do pelvic thrusts: slow down, herd of sheep crossing the road up ahead.

I thought that was the moto ballet version of the 'Time Warp'...
 
hand open with thumb on helmet = deer, elk, moose or turkey

pinching nose = skunk

fist thrust high = follow me back to Valgar's dungeon for some fisting, you'll get this from a lot of harley riders

'..been a lot of half barf salutes lately. what gives? take both hands off the bars and give a proper salute at all lean angles, or stay on the porch, ya know?
the herdin' is growing faster than the thinnin'. Keynes riding his Enfield into the sunset...
