Wow - I don't have a clue about that hand signal either, but I have to agree with you about the Harley riders. The annual Harley rally in Sturgis, SD was going on while I was cycling through Wyoming during my 2002 xc trek, and there were Harley riders all over the west. I can't tell you how many I spoke with - but they were all super friendly.

And by the way, I'm very jealous of your temperatures! It was warm here too yesterday (in the high 30s), but the roads were so messy I decided to protect my bikes and walk. OK, OK, I guess I just wasn't up for a major cleaning and relubing job. I hate it when shortly after I start out on a ride (on a clean bike) I can hear grit - sand AND salt - in the drive train. Yeah, all of the mountain bikers are probably laughing at me, but I'm a road biker through and through!
