Turn signals and Trans clunk

Rocket Scientist said:

I have read that even one panic stop can sometimes warp a rotor. Years ago we bought a Pontiac Bonneville with 15,000 miles on it. During the test drive I mashed the brakes to be try out the new fangled ABS. About a week later we bought it back because the brakes were pulsating terribly. They ended up putting new front rotors on it. Coincidence ?

Surely not - you think there are folk on bikes who untrained and incapable of safe riding.
Ban Motorcycles NOW!. PANIC - Lock up your children. Hide your quadrupeds.

Copied and pasted the info:


"If you prefer a shorter or longer cancellation time there are two different settings to meet your riding style, 15 or 23 flash cancel time. Either of these is quite
adequate.
Cancels the turn signals using the most intelligent software design available which turns OFF the lights. It does "NOT" leave the signal "ON steady" or the turn
indicator on as other brand on the market. (Note: regarding Honda front dual filament bulbs)
There's a cancellation override while braking or sitting at an intersection with the brakes applied so it won't turn off the signals when you need them
operating. You don't have to keep resetting the unit before making the turn. After releasing the brakes to begin your turn the unit starts timing again and when it
reaches it's limit the signals turn off. It provides you well enough time to complete the turn. The shut off period depends on the program setting you selected."

If I waited 15 seconds for it to turn off I would be almost 1/4 a mile down the road.

Note to self don't turn the throttle on to much

May not be true of others, but discovered yesterday on a long ride that the loud clunk goes away after the bike is warmed up......takes maybe 30 miles but after that my bike was as smooth up and down through the gears as my Harley Ultra. And.....this sucker zips up to 120 mph in no time.....that's where I start to wimp out and slow down......but the Rocket was still ready for more.

Now I don't want to piss on anyone's parade but ... auto cancelling blinkers? I mean, the cancel button is right there under your thumb, mate. I know some bikes come with it standard these days but it's hardly a necessity.

If someone can't remember to turn their blinkers off after a corner, I'd politely suggest that they're not bringing their "A game" to this whole motorcycle riding deal.
