I didn't realize how much I did this untill I started recording rides on my gopro. It's like I have a wierd OCD . Oh well, at least I know I don't ride around with my signal flashing, like alot of the squids I see blasting past me like I'm on a bicycle.

Dam your bike sounds good

 

[JRE]

I do it all the time as well. Really screws me up when I get on the DRZ and the kill switch is located there :-[

 

[stutrump]

I do it too!!!

 

[tomatocity]

And I thought it was just me ??? Think I rode in WY for an hour with my turn signal on. No one noticed.

Haha, yeah bit of a nervous habit. I also ride in 7th and 8th gear a lot too.

Amazing how hard it is to count to six.

 

[Bushyar15]

I used to do it all the time or at least multiple times after I made a turn… My Ducati broke me of that habit.

On the ducati, the button also functions as the "riding mode" button. So if you hit it repeatedly and quickly it changes the screen from RPM to a mode selector, So I'd look down expecting to see RPM but instead would see the mode selector...

Too funny........ Same here. It would have been nice to have been equipped with auto canceling & maybe some hazards. I found myself double checking the switch all the time.

 

[Dirt_Dad]

I do it often. I also forget to do it after a turn on occasion. Which is what leads me to do it a lot.

[Spaggy]

I just honk the horn instead of turning off signals. Doh

 

[Pilotuh1b]

I'm OCD with the indicators! I've certainly been riding along and thought about how many cycles the switched is lifed for and how early I'm going to wear it out.

And don't talk to me about trying to kick it up that 'last' gear. ::010::

 

[shrekonwheels]

I really wish self canceling turn signals would be standard again.

Not sure I understand all that the signal minder does. I got it bad..so far all of my bikes have been durable enough.

 

[Will Rotten]

Yep, and I also search for that 7th gear all the time.
