Do you have two mirrors on your bike or just one?

Howdy folks,
This question falls under the "who cares" category.
But I'm just wondering... I've always run a single mirror on the left side, and I feel perfectly comfortable and well covered.
I notice, however, many riders have two mirrors. If you're one of those, do you actually use both?
On my Monster, I have the convex CRG, and it gives an excellent view as to what's going on behind me... I guess I do tend to actually turn my head to look around, though...
Just wondering,
Eric M.

I run two mirrors. Both crg ls. I use the right one the most. Head check for the left side. I just like the way two mirrors look.

I run one on the left side. It's an ebay knockoff but it works quite well. I always check with my head anyways

running two bar ends, but set them up differently
Left is for the left fast lane... highspeed passers and the blind spot.
Right is for directly behind... after passing to move back into the lane and at stop lights/around town/etc
my right blind spot i worry about less with traffic in europe as passing on the right RARELY happens, usually idiot newbie Americans

I use a CRG LS on the left. Don't really need them on both sides. I put the stockers back on for inspection though.

i dont like the CRGs for 2 reasons
with clip ons you really have to turn your head away, and they are the prime reason why i no longer rely on my mirrors ( i ran ebay CRG clones for a year). I originally had Napleons which were great and were big enough to give me a good view.
however because i ride a city bike bar end mirrors get broken when knocked down. ive destroyed 3 Napoleons and 4 CRG clones i think. now i have rizoma ones that mount to the masters, bike hasnt gone down yet!

I've always run two... Rizoma Reverse Retro's first... Now CRG lanesplitters.
I'd still look over my shoulder every now and then though.....
Of course on Saturday I cut a sweeper too tight and detonated my left mirror glass on a plastic lane divider..
Now I have one mirror...

same for me... right is rear view mirror basically, and left is set up to see a lane over.
still head check for all turns though
