Makes me wonder why indicating a right turn, when on a bike or motorcycle isn't just pointing your right arm, the way lefts are indicated with your left arm. The up for right, down for stop only really makes sense for cars because you sit on the left side of the vehicle and nobody's right arm can reach out the right side window.
On motorcycles the right hand is generally throttle and front brake. So you're using it to slow down before the turn and then to throttle up to complete it.
The left hand is usually done with clutch duties before the turn, and not needed again until after the turn is completed.
Also signaling with the right arm might be harder for a car driver to see if you're riding further to the right in the lane
