just a stupid question, but all of you probably know, if you hit the starter button after your SW is running, your headlight will only flash, any one coming headon will see it and hopefully notice a bike or scooter is approaching even tho honda was silly enuff not to incorperate, emergengency flashers, as most of GPR riders have flashers, this is a bad oversight on honda's part to me.

Now there's a project for someone (DennisB?) if it hasn't already been done.... create a wiring harness, flasher and switch that flashes all the turn signals like an emergency flasher. I'd buy it in a flash.

During one of the 'Think Bike' advertising campaigns in the UK it was suggested that bikes approaching cross-roads or side-turnings where cars were waiting to pull out should alter their line on the road so that they were effectively travelling on a diagonal, i.e. moving from crown to kerb and back....but not swerving from side to side!
This is supposed to help them be seen because the view is not conventional.
I haven't explained it very well but the concept makes sense.
