I've hit the horn button a few times by mistake when trying for the brights. Haven't yet had any issues with the hazzards.
On my ricer, there was a spot right past lock on the ignition. They called it Park. Turned on the tail lights.
Came out to a dead battery a time or two because of that "Feature".

I will admit, I am in this club also. Hit the damn switch in the garage, could not figure out how the hell to turn them off, had to break out the manual, lol. Now I know.

I pulled over to help another rider one night shortly after getting the new bike, and spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to turn the flashers ON with the turn signal switches.

I've also hit the left turn switch instead of the horn in the heat of the moment more than once.

Has anyone else accidently turned their hazards on? Not a big issue until you accidentally turn them on when you really don't need the attention.
WTF! How can you walk away from a new Rushmore bike and not just want to keep looking at it.

I've hit the horn instead of the left turn signal a couple times.
So far have not accidentally bumped the 4 ways.

I'm curious how a lot of you couldnt figure out how to turn them off? Pushing it again seems a perfectly natural response? Not trying to poke fun, I'm genuinely curious. Did they do something different on my '14? It's a toggle switch. Push once, on; push again, off...?

I haven't had this happen to me yet, but I can't find the horn without lookin at it, for some reason. Which, by then, don't need it or at worst, it'd be too late. Scary.

I'll take a wild guess. The '14 is your first Harley!
