I ended up in a tight spot but nothing the CB could squeeze through when suddenly traffic started moving and I had a Semi truck on my left start to move too close for comfort and I ended up clipping my mirror in a mini vans mirror. To my surprise there wasn't even a scratch on my mirror! The mini van didn't honk or yell at my not sure if they even noticed it, but their mirror didn't move either. Anyways out the 2 years I have been commuting to work this is the first time I clipped a mirror. I don't think I'll be splitting by Semi Trucks anymore lol Even at 3mph in 1st.
Any one else ever clipped a mirror in Ca? Also is there lower profile mirrors for the cb anyone recommends? (not bar end mirrors).
I know you said 'no bar end mirrors', but.. 'lanesplitter' folding mirrors are pretty good in that regard.. mirror contact ? they just fold back.
I also don't split semi trucks very often.. all it takes is a driver on the other side to push the motorcycle under the truck (maybe as an unintended result of texting or some such) and that's the end. I don't want to die due to someone being traumatized because they couldn't find a pair of purple UGG boots.
