Speeding and tapping the top of your head
when i ride with people i know and i know theres a radar ahead i usually point to my speedometer, and they get the idea. maybe the tapping on the head followed by tapping the speedometer might be better? course thats alot of signs to try and get in when someone is speeding towards you lol.

In Africa it is the slow hand thing that does it for us, however most guys here either have, no plate, photo blocker, radar jammers, swing plates or lots of mud on the plates. Our cameras are not for the safety aspect but are a scource of revenue for our corrupt goverment.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now

Here in Memphis TN we use the "pat on the helmet" technique to warn of police also. I have saved and been saved MANY times to this. 
On the wearing a helmet topic I am nuetral. I feel it should be YOUR choice but I, myself, wear one. The thing is I do wear a non-DOT lid from time to time if I am just going to bike night gatherings where I sit alot and don't do much riding. That thing wouldn't be much better than nothing at all but I will "look cool" as my brain matter is laid across the asphalt.

I do think it should be the riders choice as do I believe for seatbelts in vehicles but that's a whole other can of worms.
