I've been riding 46 years. The last couple of times I've been out after the winter break, I've found that I'm often leaving the indicators on after I've made the turn/overtake.

I'm hoping that after a few more hours in the saddle, I'll get back to switching them off subconsciously again.

Do any of you lot slip into bad habits after a few months off?

They do! Both mine have but I'm not sure how well they work as I tend to remember to turn them off before they turn off... or perhaps they wouldn't turn off.... hmm.

Because you don't apply steering lock on a bike like you do ina car.

Mine (BMW) does. I have that function disabled because it often turns them off too early... Prefer to occasionally forget myself rather than have the bike get it wrong more often than not !
