I swear, I was innocently following a link from this very forum regarding reflective decals. So I am looking around at http://www.streetglo.net/ and not really finding what I am looking for. Then I come across this http://www.streetglo.net/shocker.decals.html
Interesting...not sure what it means...let's google and come up with this (warning: NSFW) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocker_(hand_gesture)

Now I can't get the idea out of my head of using this hand sign to other MP3'ers. It does, sorta fit (no pun intended), our rides (I am counting myself as an official MP3'er since I am set to get mine tomorrow morning). They are "shocking" and have 2 in the front and 1 in the rear. Laughing emoticon

Two finger for Scoots, 3 fingers for MP3's...
What finger do you use if you are on a unicycle?

I'll let you folks google "slang the shocker".....but that is what that hand signal means. If you offend easily then don't google it.

Yes posted by a lady.

whoops, edited to see the meaning was posted in first post.

The ol' two in the pink one in the stink?

I'd rather not have that on my scoot as a ton of douchey crotch rocket kids always have those all over their bikes...

As a wave, it has potential to be funny and exclusive among us, but I'd rather not wave to a biker gang with the shocker. They may take it as an insult. But right now I'd probably look weird trying to do that in winter riding gloves.
Entertaining thought though.

This is a funny thread but I don't think I'll flash that at a Harley rider. It might take too long to explain.
