Hands up, guilty of bad riding behaviour!

Our aprilia Capo 1200 has the self cancelling indicators.  Cancels around 3/10ths of a mile I reckon. 
I tend to forget to cancel on the Guzzi.   DOH!

one advantage of bar end signals.

Oops!  Also did a no no accidentally this weekend..   Happened to get stuck behind a guy driving a side-by-side...3 miles or so of this.  No mirrors, no helmet, not paying attention to what was behind him.
Came to a long uphill with no trails or roads feeding onto it. (as far as I could see).  Clicked the bike down a gear and accidentally carried the front wheel around him.  2up.

For shame!  It's good that you confessed to this bad behavior, otherwise you'd have to live with the guilt for damaging that three wheeler pilot's psyche.

The 1400T's turn signals self cancel, but it is quite a distance before they do. It's long enough that in some instances you might just have problems with people thinking your going to make a turn.

I was just going through an old tool chest I bought from my neighbor and found this.



'Signal Alert "beeps" when your turn signal is on. Too many accidents occur because a cyclist forgot to turn off his signal. Signal Alert helps make cycling "safer".'

I understand the quotes around "beeps" and "safer". I took one of these off my wife's '98 Funduro. You could basically hear it in the driveway with the engine off, if the birds kept quiet.
