I shorted my turn signals, so I'm cage bound as well. (Everything else on her works great though, so I'm have a hell of a time convincing myself to stay in that cage.....)

Use yer hand signals. I do that & people look at me like I am TOOtally cracked. I dont think they even know what the left hand in the air means. I wonder if they thinkI need to go potty..
Stop, Left hand down, palm open, facing rear. Left turn, Left arm, extended, UHH to dah Layuft? Right turn, left arm, bent at elbow, I tend to bend the wrist & point to the road I am gonna turn on,, they still act lost. This is where downshifting w/o a clutch comes in handy.

Reply #4 - 10/12/08 at 13:27:49 I don't trust the drivers around here enough to think that they might even possibly know and understand motorcycle hand singals, but, I managed to fix my turn signals, so I'm back on two wheels! Woohoo! (sorry Toymaker..... I think we all feel your pain....)

Nah! Just go get an old Suzuki Samurai, drop the windshield down, and it'll feel about the same. Grin

However keep in mind that this one has a tendency to lean the WRONG way in corners -- suddenly!
