Have been riding my Harley for about a year now. I was wondering, when I used to ride my sport bike we would signal each other when cops where in the area (like in a car flashing your lights when you pass a speed trap). Do fellow Harley riders follow this. Have only had 1 person on a sport bike signal me so far.
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are only ridden by law-abiding citizens in a manner that observes all traffic laws. Why would we want to be concerned or signal one another when a law enforcement officer is in the area?

You must be going down a hill with the wind behind you to be worried about this.

Pointing down at the tarmac = watch out - there's something on the road.
A rider passes you and then points backwards to you and flashes his brake light a couple times = your brake or rear light is not working.
Ditto and then flashes indicators alternately = you've left your indicator on.
Ditto and sticks his right foot out = thanks for moving over to let me through.
In UK you will also see hand raised to head height and a pinched finger and thumb used to indicate police ahead. It comes from a comedian who used that sign with the catchphrase "Nick Nick".
