Ok so sounds more like you just need a simpler way to remember this......

How about this

1) Hey theres that road I want to turn into

2) Is there anyone behind me moving up fast to overtake (mirror check)

3) Need to let them know what I am going to do so no-one tries to overtake me - better give them plenty of warning (indicators - on as soon as you know its clear.

4) Right now, did they see me? (mirror check)

5) Right, now where do I want to be - and how tight is this (position and speed)

6) Ok now is there any little fscker on a scooter trying to get past me before I turn (Lifesaver)

7) Now where am I going - oh yeah, there (look to where you want to be in after the turn)

Make the turn

9) Well there is no indicator for going straight on - s best cancel the one I have on.

Ok so its even more long winded than what you posted ,but as its in a "story" form, should be easier to remember and faster to work through.

This morning I got on my bike and it all just felt right - the bike did what I wanted it to do from the off, everything was in the right place etc. This meant that when I was out on the road, I had a great time - I wasnt worrying about operating the bike - ie throttle, clutch, that kind of thing, I was just riding it.

Its the whole "man and machine as one" thing - if you are not worrying about all the little things that really you dont need to, then you have more thinking time for the things you do need to worry about - like observation.
