I believe in all my recent memory of motorcycles, I've maybe only seen one rider on a vintage bike use arm signals & that was in America! MC's here use the directionals on their bikes to signal :-)

If there's another vehicle close behind me, or if I'm riding in a group, I do both, for better visibility. I keep the stock blinkers and brake lights, none of these tucked-in barely-visible lights the kids use
but I always hand signal a turn or hard braking as well, to help ensure it's seen.

That is a good & smart thing to do, I admit that I do not use arm signals when I am on my MC. But you have made me think that I should do so in those same situations. If it alerts the driver coming towards me or right behind me that I am here, on the road, right in front of you, please do not run me over, then I am all for it!
