Yup... I've seen that a couple times around here as well... Out on the Interstate it can kinda make sense, you know to stretch a bit, but hell I saw a guy on the Courtney cambell doing it... I guess they think it's Cool...
Stupidest thing I have seen in a while...

I don't know about the Kaw's but my Busa has a little button in front of my left thumb that makes alight go on and off to tell others of my intention to change my current lane position. If I push it right the right side lights blink. Pushing it Left makes the left ones blink. How do you get your toes to blink thru your riding boots? On a serious note...Cage dwellers have no idea that pointing your foot or sticking your leg out means your gonna change lanes. They are saying...see he's got a cramp. Stupid Motorcycle riders. Why don't they just buy cars!Lol...Did your heel hit you in the back of the head?By the way, on another note... I learned the other day NOT to take a foot off of the peg to signal shid in the road when yer clockin' 150+...I'd never done it at those speeds before. Don't know why I done it that time. I knew better... Just done it without thinkin'. I've led on rides so much lately that it just became a habit to do it I guess... Guess I need to harness the 10 and sweep more often.
Not quite but I like to have never got my damned foot back up to the peg!
What really sucked was after all that, my bud wasn't even close enough on his 6RR to see the damned warning!
I use turn signals to let riders behind me know I'm changing from the right side of the lane to the left. Just easier and you don't have to worry about stubbing your toe or getting off balance. My .02 ride safe
I think he was trying to indicate debris on the road, not a lane change. But you raise a valid point, if others don't understand your signal, it's a waste of time.
It's like winking in the dark, you know you're doing it, but nobody else does.
That's what I was going to say, but not that well. Been a rough day over here so far.

BigBSBusa; You take care over there Brother. Try not to let that crap wear you down. I lost too many EOD Brothers over there, and it sucks I know all too well. Take care and get home safe.

What does that have to do with signaling debris in the roadway to a following rider?I don't know about the Kaw's but my Busa has a little button in front of my left thumb that makes alight go on and off to tell others of my intention to change my current lane position.

Ummm.. Its just my opinion but if the farking idiot(s) on the bike(s)
behind me aren't paying enough attention to the road to spot debris,
I don't want to ride with them. Only hand signals one needs are the ones to to warn of cops. Or in my case to let people know my fuel tank
is empty
As far as the feet skimming "stunt" sure seems a lot saner, smarter &
safer than wheelies, screen sitting or seat standing. I guess those
against skimming are also against the "wave".
Raider out.

I gotta say I do the same thing cuz after an hour on the busa having my feet on the pegs it kinda cuts the circulation off and I really aint stopping just to take a stretch. Come on man if thats the least this guy was doing lets not be so hasty to get rude about it......there are a lot worse things he could be doing on his bike right?
Unfortunately I was ridin' at the time and couldn't quite turn loose to work the camera. Here's a pic of a cutie in a thong to get ya by though...Yo train no pics damn damn your the picture guru your killin meSaw a chick in hip hugger jeans and a pink thong doin' that one time...

I took a ride to Pine Mountain one time and started gettin' sick whlie I was there. I felt so bad on the way home that if I could have laid back like that on the busa I prolly would have.Stupidest thing I saw was going down 75..the guy was on a sport bike, had his feet up on the handle bars, and was kicked back in his seat like he was cruisin his Lazyboy.
I kinda see it that way myself Raider, but the local crew I ride with likes to use the signals, especially when newbies are along, so I use 'em most of the time... again, especially when I've got a newbie behind me. I do whatever I can to make it easier for the newer riders and keep 'em outta trouble.Ummm.. Its just my opinion but if the farking idiot(s) on the bike(s)

I think it's called "courtesy" (adj:Given or done as a polite gesture.)I kinda see it that way myself Raider, but the local crew I ride with likes to use the signals, especially when newbies are along, so I use 'em most of the time... again, especially when I've got a newbie behind me.

I have a problem with the farking idiots who let me know their fuel tank is empty. I mean, if I'm going in the opposite direction on the highway, what am I supposed to do about it?

when I took the MSF course they told us to signal debris on the roadway by pointing your toe at it, didn't say anything about what speed not to do it.
