I’m assuming that the Captain being a nautical man looked to the sea for inspiration when choosing the red and yellow for the Easy Riders jersey.
I looked up the nautical signal flags for E & R and found …
 |
E – I am altering my course to starboard |
| Maybe helpful for Ravi but could end up with the group going around in circles
|
|
 |
R – the way is off my ship. You may feel you way past me |
| A bit more promising but closer to the FBW
|
|
| So I checked the other red and yellow flags and found | |
 |
O – man overboard |
| Ravi again? Not really conducive to safety
|
|
 |
Y – I am carrying mails |
| Works perfectly if you add a letter
|
|
|
ER – I am carrying MAMILs |
Nominations are sought for which ER riders most closely resemble the following flags |
|
 |
A – I am undergoing a speed trial |
| Falsh?

B – I am taking on or discharging explosives |
| Orica GreenEdge?
