Hey dummy...your Turning Signal!! - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

The Shadow is my first bike with gadgets, such as Turn Signals! My question is, how do you remember to turn them off? Is there some little thing you use to remind yourself, especially with so many other things going on? I feel pretty dumb looking down a block (or more) later and seeing it still on.

Ok, before we go on, it is TURN signal not TURNING signal

i keep my thumb on the button so as soon as i make the turn,i push it off...it works for me.

Any time I turn, I push the button to turn it off. The only exception is on a long twisty road.

Usually after the 3rd or 4th cage drives by me flipping me off and pointing to my turn signal.

That's when I turn it off.

JUST KIDDING!

Never understood how people forget this so often. The flashing light next to your speedo should be a big indicator that your signal is still on. Guess I just pay attention to things like that...

It's just a part of being conscious of everything. Make it a habit to hit the switch after you've made the turn.

I am trying to get into the habit of hitting it as soon as I shift up. And looking at the flashing light only works if I am not looking where I am going lol
