Yeah definitely need to work on that indicator thing 😂 there was a few times yesterday when I consciously thought “I will cancel my indicator after this turn” then I fucked something up and distracted myself using the clutch or something.
Now just need to decide what to buy and find it.

I was taught to press the indicator cancel as soon as I see a minor road, or junction. That way, if you have left it on, you don’t leave it on past a junction.

Just get in the habit of pushing the boingy button all the time, keep your thumb near it, press it even when you know the indicators aren't on.
Turn = boing

It's a good way to get bike handling skills dialled in.
I did ~5 months commuting on a 125, pending a big boy test.
Made me much more confident on the road.
Also got me to the point where I didn't need to think about what I was doing (initially i was talking through the actions "clutch in, throttle off, change gear, throttle on and clutch out" "indicator is on on on on, off" etc.)
(actually the indicator one is very handy on your test, don't want to fail on something petty like an indicator being left on)
