So yes, I have learned to use and trust my mirrors.

Turning all the way around to look behind you on a bike is ridiculous and unsafe. Just as bad if not worse if you do it in your "cage". Like I said, at most I glance over my shoulders on the Ninja. If you must do this because you cannot see out of your mirrors, its time to modify your mirrors to work for you.
