Hi guys. I was just wondering if you were riding with someone or just happened to be in your cage at the moment: how did you let your fellow rider know that he was pretty much hypnotizing you with lefrt blinger still on after 3 miles?

I usually just open/close my hand allmost like making a fist. He  or she usually get it.   

I pulled up along side of my buddy once and just turned it off myself. At a stop light of course, but id would imagine you could do it while moving.

ehh just get in front of them and do the same thing. sooner or later theyll saty "yo idiot your directionals on" then they look down and "d'oh" 

yup exactly what i do yama... then I laugh at them.

works every damned time 

I compulsively click my turn signal... Sometimes when I'm riding with my highs on, I'll think the high indicator is the turn indicator, and click em again...

On an unrelated tangent... I did 30 or so miles on the interstate last night.. and now my back hurts like a mofugger.... what posture should I be using?

One that doesn't hurt your back silly use your core muscles - stomach, abs, etc. to hold you up, not your back and not your wrists - or just go faster, the wind will help!

Bwahaha.. I was consciously loosening up on the bars, doing the funky chicken, etc... My grip was loose... holding the tank with my legs.. I thought I was doing it right... but I guess not... as for going faster.. well, I had her up to 95 indicated... quite fast enough for me, thank you! 

Get your butt off the seat.

I turn one signal on for a couple blinks, then the other, back and forth ... it usually only takes a few cycles.

I totally don't get it??!??!? That would look like a sock puppet "talking" to me? What am I missing?

not sure that if someone was doing that at me i would think to check my blinkers.  I do as others above and pass then ride with my signal on thill they cancel theirs.  One time i got passed and the lady pointed at me and yelled your blinkers on.  I then pointed at her and yelled ditto, she turned red and slowed down

I extend my fingers, then close my hand in a rythm so that my hand is "blinking."  IDK, it made sense to me the first time I saw it; it just sounds funny when trying to describe it

this is what I do too, i think it's the accepted signal, even the MSF instructor showed us it

pretty mujch what i was trying to say but you said it best.   

I tried a few methods on my ride today. On one occasion scratch's method of blinker left and right. On another occasion I tried that same thing hoping it would work, but apparently it just enraged the driver and caused them to tailgate me. Then I did the flashy hand thing (fist closed - open - closed - open) for a while after he passed me. He turned his blinker off and waved at me. People are weird.
