Hand Signals
Updated On: Apr 22, 2010

 


Motorcycle hand signals are important for all riders to know and understand but especially when riding in a group. (When riding in a group the signals should be relayed back through the group.)

 Thanks to the Ann Arbor H.O.G. Chapter for the graphics.

Start em up! 

START ENGINES

With your right or left arm
extended, move your index
finger in a circular motion.

LEFT TURN

Raise your left arm
horizontal with your
elbow fully extended.

RIGHT TURN

Raise your left arm
horizontal with your
elbow bent 90 degrees
vertically.

HAZARD LEFT

Extend your left arm at
a 45 degree angle and
point towards the hazard.

HAZARD RIGHT

Extend your right leg at a 45 degree downward angle to signal the hazard.

SPEED UP

Raise your left arm up and down
with your index finger extended
upward.  This indicates the
leader wants to speed up.

SLOW DOWN

Extend your left arm at
a 45 degree angle and move
your hand up and down.

STOP

Extend your left arm at
a 45 degree angle with the
palm of your hand facing rearward.

SINGLE FILE

Position your left hand over
your helmet with your fingers
extended upward.  This indicates
the leader wants the group in a
single file formation. Usually this
is done for safety reasons.

STAGGERED FORMATION

Extend your left arm upward
at a 45 degree angle with your
index and pinkie finger extended.
This indicate that it is safe to
return to staggered formation.

TIGHTEN UP

Raise your left arm and
repeatedly move up and down
in a pulling motion.  This
indicates the leader wants the
group to close ranks.

TICKED OFF

Extend your left arm straight out
with your elbow bent 90 degrees.
Carefully extend your middle finger
to clearly demonstrate your
dissatisfaction with the other guy.
NOTE:  It is not recommended
you do this when you are alone.
