I just love the hateful trolls on this forum. Instead of asking WHY something is done, they just assume you are an idiot for doing it. Which is why I have BP PanigaleV4S blocked. His posts still come through when he's quoted and I get an email notification, but otherwise I never have to see his hate mongering and trolling...............sometimes you just have to laugh!!!
The extra mirrors are there because I've had multiple neck injuries which prevent me from turning my head and looking to the side when I'm in the tuck. I CAN'T see to the side. Get it? The mirrors allow me to do so. It's for safety reasons.
Sitting up I can twist my spine to help allow me to look side-side. In the tuck I'm literally blind to the sides, though the bar end mirrors allow me straight back sight lines. But straight beside me, in my blind spot I'd need to check with a head twist? Nada.
After a full lifetime of Military service, multiple wrecks on bicycles, in cars, but never a motorcycle, sky diving, surfing, and countless martial arts bouts, the injuries start to add up. I also have to make allowances for 22 broken bones including half of my rib cage on each side, 2 prosthetic knees, 3 spinal fusions, and arthritis in 6 major joints including a range of motion of only 45 degrees in my right elbow.
So, yeah, I have two small mirrors on the side of the windscreen so I can see what is beside me. Any more vitriolic observances Captain Hatemonger?
