Default radar ahead warning

Is there a universal warning signal for other bikers with regard to radar ahead?
I was trying to warn a couple of oncoming bikerstoday and I think they just thought I was an idiot waving like mad.
I could hear from their exhaust that they were not slowing down, don't know if they got stopped or not.
I thought of flashing from low to high beam but that's not all that noticable in the day.

I was told to tap the top of your head to warn approaching bikers.

Yep, tap the top of your helmet to indicate cops ahead.

Either that or pull out your concealed handgun and rotate it in a circle over your head.

It's typically illegal in most US states also but that usually doesn't stop peop;e from doing it. Yep, it's pat the top of your head/helmet here also. Hell officer, I was just adjusting my doo rag.

Old trucker signal is flashing headlights. If saw that, I'd slow do whether on my bike or in my car.
