Could somebody PLEASE translate this post and replies into English.
I copy and pasted into an online translator and crashed the Internet.
Trouble is, RH, outside of Florida we have these Corner things, and we've learnt from bitter experience that it helps to let others know of our intentions.
In the olden days (when I was young), we would put out our arms to feel if the breeze would help us round. This had the useful side effect that it would tell others what we were planning. Even if (as was all too common for me) we failed to make it round the corner without falling off.
Unfortunately, in their wisdom, legislators
*** at least in the UK decided that our means of maintaining speed, if we let go of it, needed to spring to "go as slowly as possible". So we could no longer feel the breeze with our right hand without slowing and falling over even before we tried to go round the Corner.
In their infinite wisdom, motorcycle manufacturers came, at least partially, to our rescue, by adding extra flashy lights on our machines that, although unable to do much about feeling the breeze, at least performed the secondary function of telling others our intention.
Now comes the tricky bit. This requires extreme concentration, so put down your bottle/can/glass and read carefully.
Some of us riders are actually HUMAN. (This may come as a surprise to you, having seen many of the photographs published here of forum members, but it's true.)
Being human, we can make mistakes (at least, this particular human can, so I suspect the same is true for others).
We can ACCIDENTALLY FORGET TO STOP TELLING OTHERS WHERE WE WANT TO GO.
Now, if we come across another corner, that we don't actually want to go round, but we are still telling others that we want to turn round a corner, and, in the unlikely event that they've seen us at all, they may make the assumption that we are going where we say we are rather than where we really want to.
Ok, take another gulp, this gets nasty.
They may move to the space where we are going
. I leave it to your imagination to visualise the resulting carnage.
Unfortunately, the only thing that the motorcycle manufacturer has done to remind us of what we are doing is to put little green lights on our dash-boards. Now we all know that, even here in the UK where the sun rarely shines, we ignore little green lights, thinking they are left-overs from the effects of last night's excesses. And, over the pond near you, where it seems the sun shines brightly all the time (except when you are neck-deep in snow or tornadoes), they are totally invisible.
Hence the OP's wish to find some sensible method of determining when these little green lights are on so that he can remember to turn them off when they are finished with, I would say a very laudable desire. So he's added an audible device to augment the little green flashy lights, but because of his previous night's excesses, he doesn't want to sit being deafened by it whilst waiting his turn to turn. (That's a little dance routine we corner negotiators sometimes do.) Therefore his request for some help in performing this complicated requirement for one way of silencing the noise maker he's gone to a lot of trouble to put on.
Hope that helps explain what we are talking about.
