Right leg? they may be continental. You either get a hand or a leg in France.
Was it anything like you see in the vid? (go to times shown)

Depends on the circumstances, I think I did all 3 this afternoon! That was on the BMW which has a headlamp flasher, if it's one of the Enfields it's wave or nod.

If I saw somebody do all three at the same time, I would have to conclude that they were desperate for a piss, but didn't have time to stop and get off!

One was a kid learner on a 125, nod, one an older Triumph Trophy triple coming out of the units where MTS Bike Restorations are, wave, and the third was a BM adventure biker lit up like an oil rig, headlamp flash. Reading it they each seem appropriate! I'd planned to get the Connie out for its first test run but ran out of time. It was a lovely spring day today, heard a skylark singing it's heart out and it's still February!

It amazes me how many riders seem afraid to lift a hand from the bars and give an acknowledgement. They ride along as stiff as a board as though the bike itself is in control. Always makes me smile as they pass

Valsp, it worries me the number of bikers who use their feet as training wheels. If their balance is that bad they should give up biking. Personally I can often not even put my feet down at when stopped at traffic lights. (I blame the balance of my Electra X (ish, the low seat, and the 19" knobbly tyres.)
