DOH !!! I just did it today, coming home from subway on my lunch break !!

LayinLo · 04-15-2005, 07:15 AM

We have a rider who always forgets.

mine turn off when i forget them

Davecm203 · 11-03-2008, 11:19 PM

I've been ridding over 20 years and I will still forget once in a while. It just happens.

donny662 · 11-03-2008, 11:46 PM

It happened to me yesterday even though it had been a couple of months since I last forgot. Getting in the habit of obsessively hitting the cancel button helps avoid this problem

robertc729 · 11-04-2008, 08:48 AM

I very rarely forget to turn them off.

palanon · 11-04-2008, 10:15 AM

I have the problem every now and then. Especially with my cold weather gloves. I hit the button to cancel but, the gloves are so squishy it doesn't work.

Unless they have auto cancelling. Then the bike never forgets.

Hmmmmm Turn signals. Well, I don't need no stinking turn signals. lol They look butt ugly on an Enfield. I took em off the day I got my baby, and I use hand signals.

Take CARE, be BAD

and ride SAFE ........... D.B.

HDUltrarider · 11-10-2008, 08:41 AM

got to give Harley Credit for auto canceling signals

donny662 · 11-11-2008, 12:21 AM

I used hand signals until I stalled coming up to a stop sign once because I had forgotten to cancel the right turn signal two miles back. That also explained why everyone was waving at me or giving me a funny look.

Thank you! I'm here all night

ednjacks · 01-26-2009, 12:46 AM

This is my first bike without self cancelers so someone usualy clues me in.

USMC_STRAT · 10-13-2009, 07:36 PM

I don't have to worry about that one

My Stratoliner has auto-cancel turn signals

omegajim · 10-13-2009, 09:50 PM

my old xs has self canceling - when did this not become a standard feature?
