I'm only going to make left turns..ugh
Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone had trouble getting used to turn signals with both hands (I'm used to both of them being on the left side)..
I always have trouble keeping the throttle steady when using my right hand to turn on the right signal...Am I a ditz?...has this happened to anyone else?..any tips out there?...turning left all the time will certainly cut into my travel time...

3 lefts make a right. Once you get used to it, it will seem odd the other way. It took me a while to figure out how long to hold the button down so it wouldn't canceljust before making the turn.

At least half the people I see out on the roads (no matter what they are riding or driving) never bother to use their turn signals, so I guess it's not a big deal.
But actually.........
I've never had a metric bike, or one with turn signal controls just mounted on the left, so if I rode one of those I'd probably never be able to make a 'right turn' using the signals.

You could always use hand signals.........

Okay, the poor guy has a problem reaching for the button with his right thumb. NOW you want him to take a hand off the handlebars???
Actually, I'd be kind of surprised if anyone under 40 years old even knew what the hand signals were.
