Should I fit indicators?

Post by rex.webb »

The thing i do not understand now is
WHY DO ALLMOST ALL
"FLASHERS, INDICARORS"
GET put next to HEAD LIGHTS or TAIL LIGHTS.
The other day i saw a MODEN car with the
Front Flashers mounted away from the Head Lights. How they stand out on there own.
Well all i can say is
Drive with CARE and LIVE LONG .

Rex,
Did you have the op. on your knee? If so , I trust it went well and that you are mobile again.
Best regards.

Reading another thread about indicators on a Chinese AJS I have just discovered another reason to fit them.

It will help to stop your arms aching.

Those shopping trolleys with the baby seat on the top are near impossible to drive ! vision is completely obscured and as an added bonus all have wheels with flat spots where everyone pushes them with the brakes on. Mind you it must be the same if you are driving your audi/BMW and are watching your cute gurgling offspring and using your phone instead of looking for motorcyclists to flatten

Great to hear that our cousins in the USA have the same kind of challenges to surmount. One of the joys of this media is the broader view and understanding that it gives across all the artificial boundaries that come between people.

I need a lie down now.

I had a knee op 3 years ago as result of impact damage playing five a side. Follow the physio instructions to the letter and all will be fine. NHS did me a brilliant job. I even got some squash games for the 4th team (there are 5) afterwards and that's despite being closer to 60 than 50.

A friend wanted older type inds on his Triumph, and an original number plate mounting, which I have nearly completed.
His Specialze Max is going to Japan and the law is, indicators and mirrors are required.
Why are so many riders of old bikes against using them.

Arsey, I like the handle bar indicators, is there a danger of them not being visible from the rear if one is on the large side and wearing bulky clothing! Also, where does the wiring run from the light unit etc.
