Why no hazard lights on bikes?

True, I must admit in my wealth of riding experience (ummm about a month now) I have had the need to use hazards whilst riding

GN250, KR150, FZR400, A100, RG150 and FXR150...

"airplane" if you're American... "aeroplane" for the rest of the world.

I suppose you say "ass" instead of the correct "arse"?

No they aren't. "Airplane" is a colloquialism. Aeroplane is a proper noun.

My 1984 GPZ has hazard lights. Never used them though, unless putting them on in a dark garage for an impromptu disco counts

You do understand what vernacular means right?? Colloquialisms are part of the vernacular. I dare you to find any New Zealander in the street that doesn't know what an 'airplane' is. I'm not saying whether it's in the dictionary or not but that it's a word that the majority of people know. In saying this, if they can put words like TXT into the Oxford English Dictionary in 2009, I'm sure it'll have Airplane

No different to clowns who drive their bikes on full beam during daylight. Don't blame the cars...blame the gormless 'so that's what that button does' idiots who drive them. I honestly wonder about people who must drive 100's of km's without so much as looking at the pretty lights on their instrument cluster.
