i didn't say that, i was too embarrassed to even look at the guy.

on my way into work today i begin to indicate right at a set of lights with a line of cars waiting, as i reach the front i move my thumb from the indicator button back to the grip but as it was cold today i was wearing my winter gloves.

i guess quite a lot of you can guess what happens next?

i accidentally touch the horn button and having a nautilus firing off at 6:15 in the morning is definitely a rude awakening Shocked

the guy in front thought the lights had changed and started to move off then realised that they where still red, just like my cheeks at the time Embarassed

i wait like a giggling school kid next to this guy and when the lights turned i was off like a shot and laughing like a Blonde holding a cucumber. Mr. Green

just thought i'd share that one with ya.

Best thing to do is to look round as if trying to see who's doing it.

I've done it many a time a town and this seems the best solution Very Happy

PMSL! I thought I was the only one who did this! Laughing

Many a time have I done it! And it always seems to be when there is as many people as possible around you, not when it's quiet!

The horn on the Speed Triple is soooo pathetic it's embarrassing even when you want to use it !

Though I'm not sure people would notice it over the exhausts !

I had a blonde moment yesterday whilst filling up with petrol. Came back to the bike and for some stupid reason I thought the starter and horn were the other way round. So key goes in, turn to the right, then BAAAAARRRRRRRRPPPPP.

Right in the center of a town too Embarassed

I also tried beeping a French lorry driver who drifted into my lane today by pressing the indicator cancel button Laughing

I have only used my horn once in the last few years and that was to test the electrics were working ok, sounds like Noddys car so I tend not to use it on the road.

Oh thanks fuck. Thought it was just me to.
I do it way to often when turning the indicator off.

Feel like a right prat. I tend to just to look away at some car which has gone past as though I knew who was in it and was just saying hi
