Cancel your indicators

[XP@]

I'm waiting for the day the govt removes the give way to the right rule, it is so stupidly dangerous for bikes!
If you forget to cancel your left indicator there is an accident waiting to happen, especially because the speed of a bike is so hard to judge.
I've had a couple of occasions where my indicator has been left on, ususally in the morning, and a car has started to pull across my path. Now I cancel a lot, just as something to do whilst riding... just in case i forgot last time.

Our Harleys cancel even then after about 8-10 blinks.

Two excellent features on HDs which should be on all bikes: indicators which cancel and a locking side stand. I can't understand why all bikes don't have the HD side stand system.

I won't mention all the other good things about Harley Ds - that is enough for one day.

I thought that was in the plan for this year? Does anyone know when or if the rule is to change?

Locking side stands aye? +1 on that one!

yep no chance of the bike rolling off the stand and that means it can be parked facing downhill.

I never even knew that some bikes came with self canceling indicators.

LOL its called "first gear" on a actual motorcycle...no chance of rolling downhill either, but carry on with your list of "good things" about Hardleys...

I recall reading that (our old zook) indicators cancel after 10 seconds of traveling (in excess of 8kph? (I think was the speed). I guess the timer only works when the speedo tells it to.

BMW ones self cancel after 10 seconds or 100 mtrs, whichever comes first (not sure if those are the exact figures, but about that).

But, the 10 seconds counter stops if you are stationary (or below some very slow speed). So you can leave them going at traffic lights.

Bugger for lane splitting though.

Over the years I've acquired the habit of just constantly prodding at the indicator button whilst riding. Catches me out on the older Suzukis though where you have to manually centralise the switch.

I just keep my thumb on the switch until they aren't needed.
I didn't know I did that until I rode home today and thought about it.


Is that an early warning sign of being on autopilot and entering the area complacency?

When they were made, indicating was only for those with a guilty concience.
