To know if you come drink a beer in europe...

Confidential, not to divulge non biker :wink:

I espere that the text was translated in the spirit of the original
(Origin: http://www.pololand.com/divers/codemotards.asp)



1) The easiest way to say "Hi" when it crosses another biker, is the left hand (never the right hand, for obscure reasons...). Some bikers are a sign with 2 fingers in "V", not for reasons aerodynamic but all simply to mimic Barry Sheene who was this sign to photographers when he won a race. Since then, in the 1970s, this sign took place in language motorcyclist.



2) Salvation with the foot, is not used in the Portugal but is common between the "Speeders" of other countries such as France, because of the difficulty (and the risk that goes with), to remove a hand from the handlebars when driving "a little" faster than the limit imposed by the Act.



3) If the main objective is to not leave hands the handlebars, there is not other than the two raised fingers sign (which is not very visible) or make a nod of the head. The last sign, is the very helpful sign that the English are.



4) Lights calls are used by drivers of cars to prevent dangers along the road (as the mounted police radars). It is best not to use this sign as salvation, because it can be confused with a warning. To inform that it is better to slow down, it is better to a sign of the hand, Palm down, after doing a lighthouse call.



5) If by bad luck during a long journey, you need to stop to refuel. To signal to others, to if stop, just point your thumb to the tank cap (you risk to undergo a few teasing, others, in the same case, referont then the full "in case..." without confess that they are dry;-))



6) If the road is slippery, sand, gravel, oil, or other, the rider's head prevents the following by bringing his boot down. (... because it has not been sufficiently warned, the author does it is still recovering from this situation, which has value it to screw up the beautiful pants, found in an importer)



7) When the head biker avoids an obstacle, it must prevent the following pointing it to the (otherwise there might be the case, especially if the obstacle is a car...)



8) One of the ways of report "next exit" is turn on its flashing right and pointing finger Panel that indicates why we wish to be stop. (station service, restaurants, etc.)



9) To prevent a biker that lights are extinguished, must give a hand sign, by opening and closing the fingers of the hand several times. (This may be done by pedestrians to inform us that driving with the lights on full day;-))



10) Sometimes it happens that is taken by the exhilaration of driving, nose cole on the counters, eyes fixed on the road, and suddenly... the reserve, suddenly, brings us back to reality, should then indicate others to defuse because there are more than twenty kilometers before panne seiche.



11) When the stomach shouts famine, should be alerted other bikers... "if it is stopped for a bite to eat?". Just bring a hand to mouth or simply point your thumb to indicate it is hungry or thirsty.



12) Sleep is another necessity for a biker, it is better to stop and do a NAP petire, because there is no to autopilot for motorcycle...



13) When a motorcyclist forgets to turn off the flashing (ca often me, it is for this that I note you), then the others to report may either warn altenant in their turn signals or warning of the hand with a gesture called "ouin-ouin" performs in opening and closing the hand with the tip of the fingers (the ducks dance style).
